TW New Area Development REVIEW COMPLETED TP-PRE-0425-00069 -Pre-Application Conference Review v1 – 3957 N MOUNTAIN

Tucson Water has no objections to the proposed development and offers the following comments for your convenience:

1. The property is currently being served by 4 active potable water meters and 1 irrigation meter from an 8 inch PVC water main from the far north side of Roger Rd.
2. Your development plan shows a total of 7 potable water meters on the north end of the property. Due to the 36in reclaimed water main and 30in sewer main along Roger Rd. we suggest that you consider tapping the 12 inch CA (Cement Asbestos) potable water main to the east along Mountain Ave. for the additional 3 water meters and leave the existing 4 meters where they are.
3. If any new domestic water, irrigation water, or fire water services are needed to serve this proposed development, please contact Tucson Water’s New Services Section by calling 520-791-5164 or by sending an email to TW_Common@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:
