I am working with 3 customers right now that are having similiar issues. I cant say for certain anyone has won any battle with the fire marshall. I run into this problem alot in NM and AZ where water on a site is rare. I do see a fair amount of above ground tanks put in to take care of this problem. But in a few situations the size of the tanks are soo large that it becomes a fairly large expense that in some situations can be allmost equal to the cost of running pipe and connecting hydrants. How many est on cost for this did you get? I have seen a very very large price range for the cost of doing this stuff. I had a project in Los Banos CA last year where my client got several bids on all the hydrants and pipe equipment he needed. He had a bid for one hydrant around $2,500. He got the same hydrant from another supply company for $600. Maybe you can have similiar success.
