| TW New Area Development * | REVIEW COMPLETED | Based on the information provided, Tucson Water has no objections to, or comments on the proposed development. Potentially serving this project is a 16in (cement asbestos) G zone potable water main located on the east side of the parcel. We identified two 8-inch service stub that appear to be suitable tie-in locations for the new water service. An overall water master plan will need to be prepared for this project and submitted to Tucson Water and local Fire Department for review and approval. The overall master plan must show the proposed construction phasing for the new water mains, and the water main layout. 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. (A Letter of Variance) The Water Master Plan and detailed Water Design Plan are separate submittals that must be made through Tucson Water’s electronic plan portal at https://www.tucsonaz.gov/water/tucson-water-electronic-file-submission. More information about Tucson Water’s Water Master Plan and detailed Water Design Plan processes can be found on-line at https://www.tucsonaz.gov/water/contractors-developers-and-engineers 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 Tucson Water - New Area Development Abdullah.Salman@tucsonaz.gov |
