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. 5:\SITEPLAN\800 Block 5 3rd 51 development issues 3-22-20] I.doex \ Date .'h"';t. ,ved: f3/.:k>'1 !
