| TW New Area Development | REVIEW COMPLETED | Tucson Water has no objections to the proposed development and offers the following comments for your convenience: 1. To the North along Ganley Rd, to the west along Sears and to the south along Ginter Rd exists an 8 inch CA water main. 2. The owner/developer will need to construct all on-site and any off-site public water mains necessary to serve this development at his or her own expense. 3. The water mains serving this project must be public water mains, and each single-family residence will need to be equipped with its own water meter. 4. The following requirements will apply to the design and construction of the new public water mains: a. The owner/developer will first need to obtain a Water Availability Letter from Tucson Water via the Tucson Development Center Online website that verifies this project is within Tucson Water’s service area. This document is required for all projects, even though it may be obvious that the project is within Tucson Water’s service area. It is used in many other development processes, most notably the City Council’s final plat approval process. b. A master water plan showing the proposed water main layout will then need to be prepared for this project. c. The proposed new on-site water mains will need to connect at least two different points in Tucson Water’s existing water distribution system and form a loop as required by Section 8-06.4.2.A of Tucson Water’s Design Manual to meet water quality and fire flow requirements. If such looping is not legally or technically feasible, a written explanation of what legal and/or technical reasons prevent such looping must accompany the Master Water Plan when it is submitted for review. d. The new public water mains will also need to be located within public or private streets to the maximum extent practicable. Where this is not practicable, the new water mains will need to be centered within public water easements that are a minimum of 15’ wide and lie on smallest number of private parcels possible. e. The local fire department’s fire flow requirement for the building type, the fire hydrants and the fire department’s vehicular access also need to be shown on the water master plan. f. The water master plan must be submitted for review and acceptance via the Tucson Development Center Online website, wherein it will be routed to Tucson Fire Department and Tucson Water reviewers for review. g. Upon the Fire Department’s and Tucson Water’s acceptance of the water master plan, a detailed water design plan for the new water mains must be prepared h. The detailed water design plan must also be submitted to Tucson Water’s New Development section for review and acceptance via the Tucson Development Center Online website i. The owner of the property will need to enter into a Construction Agreement with Tucson Water regarding the construction of the new water mains before Tucson Water will accept the detailed water design plan. j. Upon Tucson Water’s acceptance of the detailed design plan, the detailed design plan must be submitted to Pima County Development Services Department for an ADEQ Approval To Construct to comply with State of Arizona law. k. Only after all the above tasks have been completed, may the owner/developer schedule a Pre-Construction Meeting with Tucson Water’s Construction section to schedule the start of the new public water main construction. l. Tucson Water Construction section staff will regularly inspect the construction of the new water main to ensure it is constructed according to plan. m. Upon successful completion of construction of the new water main, Tucson Water Construction section staff will prepare as-built drawings and a Certificate of Completion for the new water main. n. The as-built drawing and the Certificate of Completion must then be submitted to Pima County Development Services Department for an ADEQ Approval of Construction to comply with State of Arizona law. o. Upon receipt of the ADEQ Approval of Construction, Tucson Water Construction section staff will issue a final acceptance letter for the new water main. The new public water mains will not be accepted into Tucson Waters distribution system for use, and no water meters will be issued, until all new public water easements shown on the detailed construction plan have been recorded. p. Only after all the above have been completed, may a water meter be obtained for the proposed development. 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.
