Follow on Google News | High Water Mark - The PA Sprinkler Bill Repealed in the House of RepresentativesThe requirement that fire sprinklers be installed in new residential construction was repealed today in the PA House of Representatives. The bill will now go before the state senate for a vote.
By: Eve Peterson Construction of new homes is a panacea that can work to fix our ailing economy. When a family, an individual, builds a new home they are fulfilling the American Dream and generating income in the local economy. When homes are constructed there are transfer taxes for the state, permit fees for the local municipality, landscaping and construction work for local trades, and an increase in sales of new home furnishings. With homebuyers already having difficulty securing financing the fire sprinklers are another cost to be added to the bottom line. While we are not opposed to sprinklers if an Owner requests they be installed, we are against their installation being mandatory. We applaud the state House for removing a road block to economic recovery and await the vote in the Senate. # # # Hanover Homes North Corp. is a Northeast Pennsylvania custom home builder located in Wilkes-Barre, PA.
