My question is can the fire sprinkler system be connected to the lawn sprinkler system at the meter box.
Not sure that would be a good idea for those that use reclaimed water in their sprinkler system. You might save the house but from what I understand the reclaimed water does not have a pleasant smell and might cause additional odor damage. Just my thoughts.
