Recommendation R15-1
By September 1, 2026, the appropriate agencies should conduct a comprehensive review of the fire hydrant installed at the High School Road project to determine whether all applicable permitting, inspection, engineering, fire protection, testing, and code-compliance requirements were properly satisfied. The review should also evaluate whether required approvals, inspections, and documentation were completed in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and accepted professional standards, and whether corrective actions, additional approvals, or remedial measures are warranted.
