Engineers must consider factors like the occupancy hazard classification, distance from municipal water sources, and pump capacity. Always consult local fire codes and AHJs (Authorities Having Jurisdiction) when finalizing specs.

Always consult your local municipality or county for specific permitting guidelines.
