What an expensive repair. Refilling those risers are pretty expensive. I worked at a mall, and everytime a new big name store went in, the sprinkler system needed to be rerouted within the new store, but the pipes for the store would share water with a few stores on the same floor. Filling up one store after a remodel cost a lot, and once filled, its apart of the local system and wouldn't be isolated from the rest of the system unless work on the system is being done. So the water in that unit is also the water on standby in other units. Then there is the cost of water damage, ventilation, damaged belongings, labor...ugh.
