| TW New Area Development * | REVIEW COMPLETED | Based on the information provided, Tucson Water has no objections to the proposed development. The building currently has one existing domestic water meter size 5/8 inch. This service is connected to the 12-inch cement asbestos water main (C Zone) located within the south side of the parcel within the right-of-way of E Speedway Blvd. If a larger domestic water service is required to accommodate the proposed water demand, it is recommended that the service be connected to the existing 16-inch cement asbestos water main (B Zone) located along the west side of the parcel, within the right-of-way of N Alvernon Way. There is an existing fire hydrant on SW corner of the parcel. Water pressure in this area for the (B zone) is 44-51 PSI at an elevation of 2481 ft. Water pressure can vary by an additional 5 psi +/-. 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 Abdullah Salman (Project Manager) at Abdullah.Salman@tucsonaz.gov. |
