be maintained by the Springfield Utility Board, it would necd to be in a public utility easement.
Second, that line would need to be extended to the end of the property and connect to the 6"

the emergency vehicle turnaround. East of the turnaround, the line can be a 2" waterline.
2. The proposed development is within the Springfield city limits and will receive water service
from the Springfield Utility Board (SUB).
