Fire Fighting Requirements
Direct connection of pressure boosting pumps to Unitywater network is not favoured by
Unitywater. Sometimes the requests may be considered depending on the capacity,
condition and sufficient connectivity of the reticulation system in the area. If there is any
such proposal, details of the pumps (pump curves and design calculations) needs to
be submitted to Unitywater’s Development Services for approval prior to installation.
This request shall include a certification by the hydraulic consultant that the maximum
flow rate of the installed pumps will be no greater than Unitywater’s standards of service,
relevant for the site.
Unitywater’s level of service towards firefighting capacity is guided by SEQ Design &
Construction Guidelines whereas the internal fire suppression systems of buildings shall
comply with the requirements of AS 2419.Therefore it is the responsibility of the developer
to design and install the necessary infrastructure such as pumps, break tanks etc, so that
the internal fire suppression system complies with the relevant standards.
The Usage of street hydrants as standalone firefighting facility to a building will be entirely
at the risk of the developer. Unitywater will not guarantee that the street hydrants will comply
with the requirements of AS 2419 or of QFES. This applies to dry hydrant systems too.
Unitywater, at its discretion, may change the operational regime of its water mains.
However, it won’t be changed below Unitywater’s minimum level of service towards street
hydrants. These values are shown in Table 1 below. For more details, please refer to the
latest version of SEQ Design & Construction Code.
It is the Applicant’s responsibility to ensure that it has all necessary consents and approvals
to carry out any connection related works in a publicly controlled place (e.g. Council, DTMR)
or property that is not owned or controlled by the Applicant prior to starting such works.
