Listed below are our comments for the above referenced development proposal:
1. The proposed development is within the Springfield city limits and currently receives water service
from the Springfield Utility Board (SUB).
2. Please ask the developer to contact SUB Water Division for detailed information regarding any
proposed modification of the existing water service(s) or any additional water services to the
proposed development if they will be necessary.
3. SUB and the City of Springfield are separate entities. Any water related items affecting your
development will need to be coordinated through SUB Water Division independently from any items
or submittals that may be required by the City. Please contact the SUB Water Division for detailed
information regarding any woter service(s) to the proposed development,
4. Non-residential backflow prevention assemblies are required to be installed downstream, above ground and
adjacent to the water/fire/irrigation service. New non-residential water services (domestic and irrigation)
require the installation of a Reduced Pressure Backflow Assembly (RPBA).
5. New residential water services with lawn sprinkler systems or other cross-connection hazards will require a
Reduced Pressure Backflow Assembly (RPBA) installed above ground and at a location between a tap on the
domestic service line and the irrigation system. Residential fire systems containing anti-freeze compounds or
any other chemicals shall be isolated using a RPBA. lf no chemicals are used in the fire system, then a Double
Check Valve Assembly (DCVA) is required. These assemblies are required to be installed above ground and at
a location between a tap on the domestic service line and the fire system.
6. All non-residential domestic water, fire, and/or irrigation service(s) will require the installation of a backflow
prevention assembly(ies).
7. All backflow prevention assembly design plans must be submitted to SUB Water Division for approval. For
more detailed information about SUB's Cross Connection Control Program Standards contact the Water
Division a|547-726-2396 or refer to SUB's website at: http://www.subutil.com/water/cross-connection-
control-a nd-backflow-protection/.
8. Springfield has several wellhead protection areas. Ninety percent of Springfield's drinking water comes from
wells. ln every instance, care shall be taken to prevent groundwater contamination.
Contractors/developers/owners shall be responsible for the safe handling and storage of chemicals,
petroleum products, fertilizers, and the prevention of groundwater and storm water runoff contamination.
Special requirements may be necessary for groundwater protection at this development. For more detailed
information, contact the SUB Water Division Drinking Water Source Protection Coordinator al 541-726-2396.
PLEASE NOTE: SUB development charges are paid directly to SUB Water Division and SUB Electric Division.
Sincerely,
Springfield Utility Board - Water Division
