| Requirements
1. Water Main Extensions-
New developments are required to connect to an existing water main
designated by the water district and/or our engineer. This is to
ensure that adequate volume and pressure are provided to the
development. The cost of extending or upgrading an existing water
main shall be the responsibility of the developer.
2. Design of water mains-
The water districts engineer along with input from the water district will design the water system. The water district reserves the right to require upsizing of water mains for future use.
3. Construction of the water system-
The water districts contractor will complete the construction of the water system within the development and any needed upgrades to existing mains.
4. Site requirements-
Prior to construction of the water system, a final grade of the proposed water main location must be completed within 6 inches of the proposed grade. All construction equipment and debris must be moved from the area prior to beginning the construction of the water main. All curbs must be staked indicating their proposed location. If requested, street crossings (encasements) will be installed prior to the laying of the curbs and street surface.
5. Easements-
The water district will require easements for the proposed development. These easements need to be indicated on the final approved plat submitted to the water district.
