| TW New Area Development | REVIEW COMPLETED | TP-PRE-0124-00026 - Pre-Application Conference Review v1 - 812 E SPEEDWAY BL – Capstone Mixed Use Tucson Water’s New Area Development Unit has no objections to the proposed development and offers the following comments for your convenience. 1. There is an existing 12” PVC water main on the north side of Speedway Blvd (constructed in 1988 per PN 202-1988), and an existing 4” cast iron water main in Euclid Avenue (constructed in 1940 per FN 361). These existing water mains are shown on Tucson Water’s NW071414 valve map 2. This large project will need to obtain all it’s water from the existing 12” PVC water main on the north side of Speedway Blvd. No connections will be allowed to the 4” cast iron water main in Euclid Avenue. 3. The water pressure in the existing 12” water main is in the 70-77 psi range. An on-site water pressure booster station serving the upper floors may be desirable. 4. After a water fixture unit count has been conducted for the project using the 2018 International Plumbing Code, and the fire flow requirements have been established by the local fire authority, please contact Tucson Water’s New Services section by sending an e-mail to TW_COMMON@tucsonaz.gov to discuss: a. Potential points of connection to Tucson Water’s existing water distribution system. Please note that hydraulic modeling may need to be performed to verify which potential points of connection have the capacity necessary to serve the proposed development. b. The number of water service lines, number of water meters and their sizes, and any new fire hydrants and/or fire service lines necessary to serve this development. c. The advantages and disadvantages of installing the necessary water meters via Tucson Water’s Job Order Contract (JOC) process. 5. If a 3” or larger water meter is needed for this development, the water meter will need to be located within a large meter enclosure that is a minimum of 25’ long x 10’ wide x 5’ high per Tucson Water Standard Detail SD-314. The entire large meter enclosure must be located on the property in a water easement granted to the City of Tucson. 6. Copies of the valve map(s) and ‘as-built’ plans referenced in these comments may be obtained from Tucson Water’s Mapping & GIS Center by sending an e-mail request for them to TWMapInfo@tucsonaz.gov. The above comments are based on the limited preliminary information provided by the applicant and should not be construed as a complete review of the proposal. Any questions, comments or concerns about these comments may be directed to: Tim Rowe, P.E., Civil Engineer Tucson Water, New Development Section 310 W. Alameda St. P.O.
