§ 7.5-122. Submittal requirements.

(1)

Water flow test.

(a)

A water flow test must be performed on the existing water line to determine the adequacy of the water supply line for the project.

(b)

The test shall consist of a fire hydrant flow test, conducted at the nearest hydrant to the proposed development and a twenty-four-hour pressure test.

(c)

Test information shall consist of:

1.

Static pressure and residual pressure.

2.

Flow in GPM at residual pressure.

3.

Twenty-four-hour pressure chart.

(d)

An adequate supply of water for the proposed project must be available prior to the approval of any plans. Flow tests are valid for one (1) year.

(e)

The city will perform the test at the developer's expense.

(f)

The developer will be responsible for retaining the services of an outside consultant/contractor to accomplish and submit a design study based on the flow test results and indicating the projected available flow at the highest point in the development in GPM with residual pressure of twenty (20) psi for the total project. This report should provide results indicating adequacy of flow quantities and pressure for the proposed development.

(2)

Plans for proposed water system.

(a)

Preliminary review. Preliminary plans will be prepared and submitted for review as described elsewhere in the development regulations. Questions relating to adequate fire protection, multiple fees, water supply and proposed locations of connection(s) should be resolved at this step before proceeding with detailed planning. A submittal for preliminary review must include all land to be developed although the land may be developed in several phases or units. Adequacy determination of the existing water system will be made for the total project.

The project surveyor shall provide a signed statement indicating records of the property have been researched and no abandoned landfills or waste disposal sites are located in the proximity of proposed water line extensions.

(b)

Construction plans. Construction plans shall consist of the following:

1.

Site plan with streets, street names, topography with contour lines at two-foot intervals, location map, lot layout (if subdivision) or building location (if multi-family, commercial or industrial), proposed location of future sidewalks, land lots, district, and north arrow showing the water layout only.

2.

Proposed pipe size and service lateral locations.

3.

Location and size of gate valves and air release valves.

4.

Thrust blocks at all bends, tees, and plugs.

5.

Fire hydrant locations.

6.

Water system materials.

7.

Location and sizes of existing water mains surrounding the project, with nearest line valve in each direction of proposed tie-in.

8.

Detail of connection to existing lines.

9.

Proposed meter sizes and locations.

10.

Residential developments shall have the electric transformer locations indicated (this is necessary to verify no conflicts exist with water meter and fire hydrant locations).

11.

Plan of fire line meters or detector meters, if applicable.

12.

Any proposed off-site cross-county water mains or mains on existing right-of-way should be shown at a scale no smaller than 1:100.

13.

Any other items incidental to the proposed system.

14.

All plans must display the "utilities protection center" logo and "call before you dig" notice.

15.

See Section 100 Check Lists for additional plan requirements. The approved water plan shall not be changed except by written approval of the city or its designated representative.

(c)

As-builts.

1.

As-built drawings will be same format as the original construction plans.

2.

Road names and lot numbers should be on plans.

3.

"As-builts" or "record drawing" is to be stamped in large clear print on plans.

4.

Sheet should be no larger than twenty-four (24) inches × thirty-six (36) inches.

5.

Water mains and meters should be shown, including size and types.

6.

Service and meter locations should be shown.

7.

Include detail drawings showing size, type, configuration and location of fittings.

8.

Include detail drawings depicting the configuration of crossings with other utilities (i.e. storm sewers, catch basins, underground cables) and indicating vertical and horizontal clearances.

9.

Clearly indicate easement boundaries on all lines not located inside the public right-of-way.

10.

Fire hydrants, gate valves and air release valves should be shown.

11.

Plan of fire meters or detector meters should be shown, if applicable.

12.

As-built drawings must be submitted to the city and approved before the final plat is recorded.
