11.2 Add the following paragraph in the Cold
Water Collection Basin section: The cold
water basin shall be equipped with factory
installed corrosion resistant PVC sweeper
piping with plastic nozzles. The sweeper

This could have a very beneficial effect upon your fire insurance premiums.
Towers not able to meet FM requirements may require the inclusion of a fire
protection sprinkler system to achieve a comparable level of insurance premium
cost. Even if you are not insured by FM, this requirement ensures that each cell
will contain any fire that may occur without losing the ability of limited opera-
tions and capacity.
