Aug 30, 2021 #2 Geoff13 Structural Oct 2, 2018 425 0 16 CA See 7.3.6.2 However this is a very limited exemption. It doesn't apply if the water is expensive as that should have been priced into the initial budget. It only applies where you can't get enough water to fill the tank. Like a desert area.
