Listed below are our comments for the above referenced development proposal:
I. The proposed development is currently outside of an established water service area. If public
water supply is desired, annexation of the property is required. At that time, SUB will serve
wa tet to the property.
2. All new water system facilities and modifications to water system facilities both inside and
adjacent to the proposed development shall be placed in street right-of-way at a location and
depth of bury that meets the standards of the SUB Water Division.
3. All water facility materials shall be to a standard that must meet SUB Water Division
specifications.
4. 'All workiminship shall be performed to meet or exceed SUB Water Division construction
standards,
5. Size of waterline and other facilities, including water meters, must meet the needs of the SUB
Water Division and thc long-range needs of the City. These needs include, but are not limited to,
meter location and access, sizes of water distribution and transmission lines, pumping facilities,
and communication lines.
Fire service to this location will require the installation of a 16" water transmission pipeline in the
Mt Vernon Road and Linda Lane. Funding for this project has not been determined at this time.
In accordance with current SUB policy the developer may be required to provide funding for the
construction in conjunction with an agreement for repayment of some portion of the cost by SUB.
The schedule for this project is dependent on a request from a developer for service.

6. Please ask the developer to contact the SUB Water Division for detailed information on the
materials and construction standards, detailed costs for installing SUB water facilities, and a
schedule of construction. Construction expenses may be reduced with good planning of required
water facilities, good timing of facilities installation, and joint trench opportunities.
7. All water meters will be placed in public right-of-way at a location identified by the developer.
Each lot or parcel must have its own water service.
8. Water service facilities will be installed upon collection of development charges. Development
policies and charges identified in this letter are subject to change. Actual charges will be those in
effect at the time water service is requested.
9. Springfield has several wellhead protection areas, Ninety percent of Springfield's drinking water
comes from wells. In 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. Contact
