| TW New Area Development * | REVIEW COMPLETED | Based on the information currently available, Tucson Water does not have water service to the planned parcels The parcels are located in the Tucson Water service area, but there are no existing or planned water mains connecting this area to the Tucson water distribution system. Our one water 2100 plan includes a proposed path to serve the zone, but it requires a new reservoir, booster and up to 10 miles of new transmission main. If construction water is needed, please contact Tucson Water’s New Services Section by calling 520-791-5164 or by sending an email to TW_Common@tucsonaz.gov. They can assist with locating the closest option for a construction meter. 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 Kathryn Gerber (Engineering Manager) at Kathryn.Gerber@tucsonaz.gov. |
