| TW New Area Development | REVIEW COMPLETED | TP-PRE-0824-00187 - Pre-Application Conference Review v1 – 701 W CONGRESS ST - Multifamily Development Tucson Water offers the following comments for your convenience: 1. There is an existing 6” cement asbestos water main in Bonita Ave that should be able to supply this project’s domestic potable water and irrigation water needs. But, to get the amount of fire flow you will need for this project you may need to connect this project’s fire service to the existing 10” water main in Congress Street. 2. The ‘as-built’ plan numbers for these existing water mains are shown on Tucson Water’s NE141413 valve map. Copies of the valve maps 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. 3. Based on the elevation of the site, the water pressure at ground level is expected to be in the 63-70 psi range. 4. The required water meter size for each commercial building will be determined by a water fixture count conducted in accordance with the 2018 International Plumbing Code and Tucson Water’s Water Meter Sizing Guidelines. Tucson Water’s Water Meter Sizing Guidelines are available at https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/city-services/tucson-water/documents/signed_meter_sizing_guidelines_march_2020.pdf 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. 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 201 N. Stone Avenue, #2-220 P.O.
