If, in the opinion of the Director, the existing water system provides public fire
protection in the vicinity of premises proposed to be served with water for private
fire protection that is less than the average of similar districts of the City, the
Director may increase the public fire protection system, to the average of that in
similar districts of the City, if funds for such purposes are available, at the City's
expense, provided that the owner of property proposed to be served or the occupant
thereof shall pay any increase in costs of such enlargement or new mains determined
by the Director to be made necessary to properly provide for the added maximum demand
that may be created by the private fire protection system.
