Require specified testing of fire hydrant systems
HB 139 requires property owners and maintenance entities to regularly inspect and test fire hydrant systems, water pipes, and associated equipment. It mandates annual inspections for all fire hydrants (including after each use) and annual checks for water pipes, with flow tests every five years for main pipes. All testing, repairs, and maintenance must be documented and kept for at least one year, available for fire marshal review. The bill aims to ensure hydrant systems remain operational and compliant with fire safety standards.
