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.
6. Please ask the developer to contact the SUB Water Division for detailed information on the

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