Recently, Central Sprinkler issued a new policy
regarding the replacement of an estimated eight million Omega Series Sprinkler
Heads currently installed across the nation. In an effort to settle the various
lawsuits, Central has agreed to provide free replacement glass-bulb sprinkler
heads and pay monies into a trust fund to be dispersed in the future to property
owners for labor costs.
Each property owner is financially responsible for replacing the Omega
Sprinkler Heads. However, they are eligible for a portion of the thirty-seven
million dollar trust fund to offset any incurred costs.
To date, all of our customers that currently have Omega Sprinkler Heads
installed have received the appropriate paperwork and other applicable
information. Our Inspection Department is still "on the lookout" for any
additional properties with Omega Heads.
These heads are mainly installed in single family homes, apartment buildings
and town homes. If your property is protected by a sprinkler system, please take
a moment to identify the type of sprinkler head installed. Omega heads are
easily identified by the three discs stacked on top of each other with space
between them.
If you have any questions or concerns about the replacement procedures of the
Omega Sprinkler Heads, please feel free to contact Alisha Wayman at Ext. 534. |
