Dear Andy:
SUBJECT:
DEVELOPMENT ISSUES MEETING #PREI 1-00007 ALEXANDER
18-03-02-21 TL 1600 Vacant lot approximately 800 Block S 3rd Street
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
water 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 workmanship 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 the 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.
There is currently no water service to the subject property. The lot is above elevation 570'"
therefore water service will be provided by an extension of the 2nd Service Level water system
from S G Street. This extension will require construction of an 8" waterline from the end of the
existing system to the south lot line of the property within the S 3,d Street right-of-way.
Fire service for the 2,d Service Level is not available at this time. Fire service to the subject
property would require construction of a fire capacity booster pump station at the Willamette
Heights Reservoir site and replacement of the existing 2" diameter waterline in S HGH Street in
addition to the waterline extension in S 3"' Street.

materials and construction standards, detailed costs for installing SUB water facilities, and a
schedulc of construction. Construction expenses may be reduced with good planning <If 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.

chemicals, petroleum products, fertilizers, and the prevention of groundwater and storm water
runoff contamination.
