Listed below are our comments for the above referenced development proposal:
t. The proposed development is within the Springfield city limits and will receive water service from the Springfield
Utility Board (SUB).
2. SUB and the City of Springfield are separate entities. Any water related items affecting your development will need
to be coordinated through 5UB Water Division independently from any items or submittals that may be required
by the City. Please contad the SUB Woter Division for detoiled information regording ony wdter seruice(s) to the
proposed development.
3. Non-residential backflow prevention assemblies are required to be installed downstream, above ground and
adjacent to the waterfire/irrigation service. New non-residential water services (domestic and irrigation) require
the installation of a Reduced Pressure Backflow Assembly (RPBA). New non-residential fire systems containing
anti-freeze compounds or any other chemicals shall be isolated using a Reduced Pressure Detector Assembly
(RPDA). lf no chemicals are used in the fire system, then a Double Check Detector Assembly (DCDA) is required.
New residential water services with lawn sprinkler systems or other cross-connection hazards 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.
All backflow prevention assembly design plans must be submitted to the Water Division for approval. For more
detailed information about SUB's Cross Connection Control Program Standards contact the Water Division Cross-
connection Specialist at54L-726-2396 or refer to SUB's website at: http://www.subutil.com/water/cross-
connection-control-and-backf low-protection/.
4. 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.
