SUBJECT:
G3 – Peoria & Dysart Development Application Review
DATE:
02-16-22 (Updated 03-01-22)
Below are the Engineering Department’s comments for the above referenced submittal provided
in February 2022. These items will have to be addressed prior to the Planning and Zoning
Meeting.
1. The Narrative states that the project is requesting a parking variance due to the proposed
building being a warehouse and that the number of spaces required per City Code is
much greater than is required. A Parking Waiver must be submitted and shall include the
number of spaces required per City Code, the number of spaces actually required by the
site and how that number was determined and explain how additional spaces can be
accommodated if required in the future.
2. It is the City’s understanding that the site will operate 24 hours a day. It shall be
acknowledged that no noise shall be generated at the site that exceeds 55 decibels,
measured at any G3 property line, between 10 pm and 6 am.
The below items will have to be addressed during the Construction Plan Submittal.
Site Plan/Civil Plans
3. The project is responsible for the dedication of 55 feet of right of way, an 8-foot wide
Public Utility Easement (PUE), half street roadway improvements, an eight-foot-wide
detached meandering sidewalk, streetlights, signing/striping and landscaping/irrigation
along the Peoria Avenue frontage. The roadway improvements will require widening the
existing roadway section to include an additional 11-foot wide through lane, 5.5-foot bike
lane, 11.5-foot wide right turn lane and vertical curb and gutter. The project will also be
responsible for any deceleration lanes at the proposed driveways. Offsite plan and profile
sheets will be required. The City of Surprise and Maricopa County also have right of way
along the project frontage and may require plan reviews/permits.
4. The City will construct the five lane (2-M-2) roadway section for the ultimate Dysart
Road and both the right of way and 8-foot PUE along the G3 property has already been
dedicated per the Copperwing Final Plat. The project is responsible for an eight-foot-
wide detached meandering sidewalk, streetlights, ITS conduit and landscaping/irrigation
along the Dysart Road frontage. The project will also be responsible for any deceleration
lanes and associated right of way/easement revisions. Offsite plan and profile sheets will
be required.

SUMMARY OF KEY POINTS
In the MAIN EXTENSION PROCESS
This outline provides an overview of the key procedures involved in administration, design, and
construction of water distribution or sewer collection facilities for developer-funded projects. These
procedures have been designed to promote efficient completion of projects at the lowest possible cost.
Adherence to these procedures will avoid costly delays.
1. When it is determined that a proposed development is within EPCOR Arizona Inc. ("Utility") service area,
the Applicant will complete an Application for Water or Sewer Main Extension ("Application") and will
submit the Application along with engineering plans and a $5,000 Plan Review Fee to Utility. The Plan
Review Fee is a non-refundable contribution intended to cover the initial cost of Utility’s project
management expenses, including reviews of engineering plans, specifications and design reports,
preparation and reviews of the Main Extension Agreement (MXA) and coordination of flow tests where
necessary. The Application is available on EPCOR’s website (HERE).
2. The Plan Review Fee is structured to cover up to two reviews of engineering plans, specifications and
design reports. If the Applicants’ Engineer fails to satisfactorily address Utility’s review comments with its
second submittal, the remaining portion of the Plan Review Fee may not be sufficient to cover Utility’s
time to review the engineer’s third submittal. In that case, or in any other case where the Utility's costs
exceed the Plan Review Fee, Utility will not continue work until a second $5,000 Plan Review Fee is
submitted.
Second reviews of engineering plans are intended to focus only on changes requested from Utility as a
result of the initial review, and will not be considered a complete review. As such, any changes made to
the plans must be clearly identified so the plan reviewer can maximum the use of their time and focus
solely on plan revisions. If other changes have been made to the plans (those not requested from the
Utility), they must be clearly called out as changes, or there is the possibility that these changes could be
rejected during construction, and result in costly delays.
3. Utility will not begin any work until the $5,000 Plan Review Fee is received. Upon receipt of the
Plan Review Fee, Utility will assign a project manager to coordinate with the Applicant’s Engineer to
assist them in developing engineering plans and specifications in accordance with Utility’s requirements.
These requirements are outlined in Utility’s Developer Guide, which is available on EPCOR’s website.
During the course of plan development, the following may be required from the developer:
a. A letter or design report from the Engineer estimating the ultimate population equivalents for the
development, the average and maximum anticipated daily water demands (or wastewater flow rates)
for domestic, irrigation, and fire protection, and the anticipated number and sizes of meters and
service lines and proposed backflow prevention devices.
b. A letter from the jurisdictional fire protection agency setting forth requirements for fire flows, public
fire hydrants, and/or private fire protection systems. These requirements must be incorporated into
the engineering plans. The letter and plans must show the minimum required fire flow shown in
gallons per minute and duration shown in hours.
c. Preliminary plats or final plats showing lot numbers with corresponding street addresses and public
utility easements. A final recorded plat is required prior to final closeout.
d. Easements minimum 12 feet in width for all water/sewer facilities that are out of public right-of-way.
Larger width easements may be required in certain cases. Utility’s easement forms are available
upon request. Draft easement forms, deeds, ALTA surveys and title reports will be submitted for
Utility review prior to recordation of easements or execution of deeds. After Utility approval,
developer will be responsible for recording the easements. A notarized copy of the recorded
document shall be provided to Utility. Recorded off-site easements will be required prior to
construction. Recorded on-site easements are required prior to activation of service.
e. One complete set of final engineering sealed plans (approved by the fire protection agency, the
governing regulatory agency, and Utility).
f.
Copies of Certificates of Approval to Construct as issued by the governing regulatory County or State
agency.
g. A material breakdown sheet in a format approved by Utility showing the quantity, size, and estimated
construction cost of all water/sewer facilities to be conveyed to Utility, including permitting and
engineering costs. This sheet must be signed and sealed by an engineer.
May 2020

4. Construction Administration Fee
Before Utility will sign the approval block on the engineering plans, Utility must receive the Construction
Administration fee, described in the Main Extension Agreement. The Construction Administration fee
covers Utility’s estimated construction administration expenses, including inspecting and testing the
construction work, participating in construction progress meetings, reviewing as-built engineering
drawings, coordinating with the Utilities Division of the Arizona Corporation Commission (see paragraph
7 below), coordinating with the governing regulatory County or State agency to obtain the Certificate of
Approval of Construction, reviewing Applicant’s invoices (see paragraph 8.b below), reviewing ALTA
surveys, title reports, easement and deed documents, coordinating meter set requests, and facilitating
other numerous internal project management activities. An invoice for this fee will be sent to the
Applicant at the time the plans are ready to be signed by Utility. The Construction Administration fee
is $6,500 plus 5% of the Engineer’s Estimated Total Cost of Construction. The Engineer’s
Estimated Total Cost of Construction is the agreed-upon cost as detailed in paragraph 3.g above. This
fee is a non-refundable contribution in aid of construction.
5. Where Utility is responsible for constructing the project, the following steps will be taken:
a. Utility will sign / approve the engineering plans provided by the Applicant's Engineer.
b. Applicant’s Engineer will obtain all required permits, including the “Approval to Construct” and the
Certificate of Assured Water Supply, and will furnish copies of these permits to the Utility.
c. The Applicant must specify, in writing, the date for the Utility to put the project out to bid (“Request to
Bid”). Utility will determine the bid due date. Any Applicant requirements regarding time constraints
(construction completion deadlines) must be noted in the Request to Bid. Please note the estimated
time required from the invitation to bid to the start of construction may be four to eight weeks.
d. Utility will solicit bids from qualified contractors.
e. After Utility receives and reviews the bids, Utility will provide Applicant a bid evaluation report that
includes the recommended contractor, the bid amount, and the Contractor’s construction schedule.
If the Applicant deems the contract price or construction schedule is unreasonable, the Applicant
may solicit bids from bonded contractors provided that all bids are submitted by the bid due date
stipulated by Utility. If a lower bid is obtained, or if a bid is obtained at an equal price with a more
preferred construction schedule, Utility may continue to use Utility’s chosen contractor but only if the
chosen contractor meets the terms and conditions of the bid proffered; otherwise, Utility will be
required to contract with the contractor proffering such bid.
f.
Prior to the start of construction, the Applicant will pay to Utility, as a refundable advance in aid of
construction, the cost of the selected Contractor’s bid, plus the estimated cost of Utility’s labor and
overhead, contingency for the construction costs, which is calculated as 10% of the total of
construction and Utility’s labor.
g. After construction completion Utility will issue a final acceptance letter for the project and audit the
projects costs. If the actual costs are less than the amount advanced by the Applicant, Utility will
refund the difference to the Applicant within 30 days after construction completion.
h. Utility will refund the Applicant’s refundable advances in aid of construction in accordance with
Arizona Administrative Code § R14-2-406.D for water and § R14-2-606.C for sewer. Any unrefunded
balance of such advances remaining at the end of the applicable refund period shall become non-
refundable. No interest shall be paid on any amount advanced by Applicant.
6. The Contractor’s insurance coverage must be in the types and amounts required by Utility and must
include Utility as an additional insured. A sample certificate of insurance form with the required coverage
is available upon request. The Contractor is responsible to coordinate the site pre-construction
meetings, inspection schedules and testing of new facilities by notification to Utility two business days
prior to any planned activity.
1. All main extension agreements will be filed with and approved by the Utilities Division of the Arizona
Corporation Commission ("ACC"). No agreement will be approved by the ACC unless accompanied by a
Certificate of Approval to Construct or an exemption letter by the State or County regulatory agency.
Construction shall not begin until approval is received from the Utilities Division of the ACC, which
typically takes a minimum of 4 to 6 weeks.
8. After completion and testing of the new facilities, the following items are required to be submitted to and
approved by Utility prior to activation of water/sewer service:
a. All items listed in section 3
May 2020
10
b. Copies of Certificates of Approval of Construction as issued by the governing regulatory County or
State agency.
c. Applicant’s actual cost breakdown, including copies of all contracts and paid bills, invoices and
other statements of expenses incurred by developer, covering all of the costs of permitting,
design, and construction of the water/sewer facilities
d. Unconditional lien waivers and releases
e. One set of sealed and certified as-built engineering plans on full-size bond paper, and one set on
flash drive or as a PDF file
f. Recorded plat, easements and deeds
g. Backflow Certification, as required per Chapter 5, Backflow Prevention
h. Final walk-through inspection by Utility and resolution of all punch list items
i. Payment of all applicable tariff fees (meter fees, hook-up fees, etc.)
9. For all projects that involve a Main Extension Agreement, the above information is required before Utility
will accept the facilities constructed by the Applicant and before refunds of advances are initiated. After
Utility issues its written final acceptance of the new facilities, project closeout begins, which includes the
final balancing of Applicant advances. Utility will not provide water service until after it provides the
final acceptance letter.
The above steps are not necessarily all inclusive, but rather an outline of critical points in the development of
developer-funded projects. These steps should be referenced when planning such projects. Other specific
project requirements may apply on a case-by-case basis.
WATER METER INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
Before Utility will set a meter, the Applicant is responsible to ensure the following items have been
addressed:
o
Parcel Name, lot and address must be clearly posted in front of the premises.
o
All lot grading must be within six (6) inches of final grade.
o
Meter box must be unbroken (with lid), level and adjusted to final grade.
o
Meter box must be free of all dirt and debris.
o
Meter box must be unobstructed and accessible.
o

UTILITY OWNERSHIP OF FACILITIES
All water facilities on the Utility side of the service meter, including meter, are owned by Utility. All fire
hydrants and related facilities are owned by Utility (except in Mohave County). Fire sprinkler taps, isolation
valves, and that portion of the fire sprinkler services in the street rights-of-way or dedicated public utility
easements are owned by Utility.
All sewer mains are owned by Utility. Utility will repair all leaks and will remove all stoppages in the sewer
main. The property owner is responsible for all leaks and stoppages in the sewer service lateral. For that
portion of the sewer service lateral outside the boundary of the parcel of private property, the property
owner is responsible for all stoppages and Utility is responsible for all structural defects or failures
(including penetration of tree roots). In all cases, when a problem arises with a sewer service lateral within
the boundaries of the private property, the property owner is solely responsible.

REQUIREMENTS FOR DEVELOPER-DESIGNED AND BUILT
WATER/SEWER MAIN EXTENSIONS
1.
Applicant shall prepare and submit Water or Sewer Plans in accordance with the requirements
outlined in Chapter Three.
2.
Utility will be available to discuss plan development and design concepts. Applicant is encouraged
to contact Utility prior to plan development for special instructions that may apply to a particular
expansion.
3.
Easements, legal descriptions and exhibits are required for all Utility owned facilities that are not
within dedicated rights-of-way. Easements shall have a minimum width of 20 feet and shall be
centered about the centerline of the Utility-owned facilities. Utility may require wider easements for
larger diameter water or sewer mains or where deeper excavation is required or where soil
conditions require wider trenching. For cases where Utility will have a waterline and sewerline
within the same easement, the easement shall have a minimum width of 30 feet (with a minimum
of 4 feet between edge of pipe and easement boundary). The easement legal descriptions and
exhibits shall be submitted on 8½” X 11” sheets and signed and sealed by a Professional Civil
Engineer or Land Surveyor registered in the State of Arizona. No other utilities are permitted
within EPCOR’s easements except when crossing the easement in 90-degree angles.
4.
Water and sewer mains must have a minimum distance of 12 feet from buildings or retaining
walls, as measured from the edge of the building foundation or wall to the outside of the main. In
rare cases where a water or sewer main must encroach within 12 feet from a building or retaining

CERTIFICATE OF ASSURED OR ADEQUATE WATER SUPPLY AND
GRANDFATHERED RIGHTS
Prior to the approval of a plat and the issuance of a public report for a new development located within an
Arizona Active Management Area (AMA) (the Utility’s Agua Fria, Anthem, Paradise Valley, Sun City, Sun
City West and Tubac water districts), Arizona law requires that developments secure a 100-year Assured
Water Supply. This can be done in one of two ways:
1) the Applicant secures a Certificate of Assured Water Supply (CAWS) for the proposed
development, or
2) The water provider that will serve the proposed development (in this case, the Utility) has a
Designation of Assured Water Supply (DAWS).
Currently, Utility does not possess a DAWS and it is therefore the Applicant’s responsibility to secure a
Certificate of Assured Water Supply for the proposed development. Accordingly, Utility requires that
developers of subdivisions and commercial properties on lands having Irrigation Grandfathered Rights
(groundwater pumping rights) file with the State to “extinguish” the rights and pledge the rights to the
Applicant’s CAWS. This requirement is included in the main extension agreement.
For new developments located outside of an AMA (the Utility’s Mohave and Havasu water districts),
Arizona law requires that the development apply for a 100-year Adequate Water Supply prior to the platting
and the issuance of the public report. It is the Utility’s policy that all developments have sufficient supplies
and obtain the 100-year Adequate Water Supply.
If Irrigation Grandfathered Rights or Type I Non-Irrigation Grandfathered Rights are associated with the
land to be developed, the Applicant shall, within 30 days of plat recordation or prior to execution of a
Membership Agreement with the Central Arizona Groundwater Replenishment District, whichever occurs
first, submit to the Director of the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR), a notarized
Statement of the Intent to Extinguish the Grandfathered Rights, including the Certificate of Grandfathered
Right to be Extinguished. If the Grandfathered Right is a Type I right, proof of ownership of the land shall
be submitted with the Statement of Intent. Any forms required to be submitted by ADWR shall also be
included with the Statement of Intent.
The Statement of the Intent to Extinguish the Grandfathered rights shall include the statement, “It is
requested that the Director of the Department of Water Resources make the extinguishment credits
available for use by pending CAWS application number [insert appropriate CAWS application number].” A
statement pledging the credits to the appropriate application for a CAWS shall also be indicated as
appropriate on the extinguishment forms submitted. A copy of the Statement of the Intent to Extinguish
Grandfathered Rights with all enclosures and a copy of the ADWR extinguishment forms shall be mailed
to:

CHAPTER 2
ENGINEERING
MASTER PLAN AND DESIGN CRITERIA
May 2020
18
MASTER PLANNING AND DISTRIBUTION MAIN REQUIREMENTS
Utility requires that distribution systems be designed in accordance with Utility’s design requirements,
applicable state and county requirements, any authority having jurisdiction within Utility’s service area,
commonly accepted engineering practices, and other applicable codes or recognized standards.
Distribution systems should be designed with sufficient “looping” and other redundancies as may be
necessary to minimize outages to customers in the event of main breaks, routine maintenance, and
repairs. Avoiding dead-end segments by providing looped distribution circuits also enhances potable
water circulation and reduced age therefore minimizing the formation of disinfection byproducts.
Distribution systems should be sized to accommodate sufficient fire flows as may be required. The design
and sizing of the distribution systems should include a main break analysis to ensure the provision of
adequate fire flows and service to our customers.
As a condition of service, and in addition to the distribution system design standards, Utility requires that
distribution systems include a secondary 8-inch diameter distribution main in addition to the normally
required “backbone” or larger diameter distribution mains. This requirement is most easily achieved by
increasing the size of portions of typically 6-inch diameter distribution piping to 8-inch diameter. The
selected alignment of the secondary 8-inch distribution main would ideally traverse the center of the
development or phase of development, originating and terminating at larger “backbone” mains. This
requirement is not to be construed as a request for over-sizing, rather as a sound engineering design
condition. In accordance with Arizona Corporation Commission rules and regulations, no waterlines less
than 6 inches in diameter will be accepted.
Plan submittals will be reviewed for the inclusion and acceptability of the 8-inch secondary distribution
main and its alignment. An approved water distribution analysis is required to accompany all waterline
Construction Drawings. The analysis shall identify proper distribution system sizing based on the required
flow parameters, as well as the criteria stated in this Developer & Engineering Guide.
Where a land developer has subdivided any piece of land for development by another party, Utility may
require an individual water master plan in line with these guidance notes, unless the principal land
developer’s approved master plan has adequately covered distribution of all individual parcels. All
developers should coordinate with Utility’s Developer Services and Planning Division to identify whether or
not additional master plans are required for their area of development.
Where land is intended to be developed in phases, details and timing of the phases of the development
must be included in the master plan. The phasing information should include details and timing of any
landscaped areas requiring irrigation from the potable water system (where the system tariff structure
allows), especially where this will be effective prior to construction and/or sales of dwelling units.
Master plans will be reviewed by Utility’s Engineering to ensure new developments are coordinated and
consistent with the long term master plans of the relevant service area. Applicants are required to submit
two copies of the master plan and the appropriate electronic files of the hydraulic analysis. Initial master
plan reviews may take up to 8 weeks for initial review depending on the complexity of the project. This
does not include any time needed for revisions and subsequent reviews. Failure to provide two copies of
the master plan as well as electronic files for the hydraulic model may result in a delay of Utility’s review
that may then take more than 8 weeks.

2Acreage is based on gross number of acres.
3Developed Open Space includes general landscaped areas where irrigation will be required, such as
road medians and areas to be maintained by HOAs.
2. Specific Modeling Requirements: Demands should be distributed among nodes to provide a
reasonable reflection of the expected system demand distribution. Where demands are grouped and
represented by only a few nodes those demands should be allocated to the nodes with the highest
elevation as well as the furthest point from the development’s point of supply.
3. Pressures
Minimum Pressures:
55 psi static; 40 psi at peak hour; 20 psi at max day + fire flow
Maximum Pressures:
In accordance with the Uniform Plumbing Code, any structure
experiencing pressures greater than 80 psi shall have an individual
pressure reducing valve on the customer side of the meter. Areas where
many customers experience pressures higher than 80 psi may require a
PRV station or modification to the distribution system, to be approved by
Utility. Distribution systems shall not be designed to operate at pressures
greater than 120 psi.
4. Velocity & Headloss
10 fps maximum velocity for pipes less than 16 inches in diameter
5 fps maximum velocity for pipes 16 inches in diameter or larger
2 fps minimum and 6 fps maximum velocity for well transmission lines
10 ft. headloss maximum per 1,000 linear feet of pipe for pipes less than
16 inches in diameter
8 ft. headloss maximum per 1,000 linear feet of pipe for pipes 16 inches
in diameter or larger
5. Hazen-Williams Coefficient 130 (for new pipes)
Where development models include existing pipes, appropriate coefficients will need to be selected.
Where an existing calibrated model exists, the coefficients in the existing model must be used. If
there is no existing calibrated model, the developer’s engineer will need to consult with Utility’s
planners to identify suitable coefficients.
May 2020

6. Fire Flows
Fire flows must be in accordance with jurisdictional Fire Marshal requirements. Provide a written
statement from the jurisdictional Fire Marshal that states the minimum required flows and duration by
class of customer. In the absence of a jurisdictional Fire Marshal, fire flow requirements must be in
accordance with the latest version of the International Fire Code.
7. Storage Requirements
Equalization
30% of max day, plus
Emergency reserve
the greater of 10% of max day OR the storage volume required based on
the fire flow requirements stated above
8. Booster Pump Station
Firm Capacity
Shall meet or exceed the greater of peak hour flow or max day + fire flow
with the largest pump out of service for the pressure zone(s) that the
booster station serves. Shared redundancy between pressure zones
may be acceptable via a PRV (with the prior approval of Utility) provided
adequate redundancy exists in the higher zone.
9. Water Valves
Number of Valves = number of radiating mains at intersection minus one; the unvalved branch is the
line that supplies flow to the intersection.
Valve spacing shall be in accordance with ADEQ Bulletin #10
Valves in well transmission mains shall be kept to a minimum.
10. Wells
Where developments are supplied solely by groundwater wells, the following criteria must be met:
Firm Capacity: Any wellfield supplying a booster station must meet the maximum day demand for
the entire station with the greatest producing well out of service. Single source wellfields are not
allowed. Proposed wells supplying directly into the distribution system are discouraged and will be
reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Permitted Capacity: The total permitted capacity of a wellfield shall be adequate to meet the
anticipated total annual demand for the development.
Well transmission lines shall have an 8” minimum diameter. Where a transmission line will have
multiple wells connected to it, the pipe shall be sized such that all wells connected to that line can run
simultaneously at their full capacity while meeting the velocity and headloss constraints defined in this
guide. If this cannot be achieved, contact Utility’s Developer Services Division for guidance.
11. Fire Hydrants
Fire hydrant spacing shall be in accordance with the requirements of the local jurisdictional agency.
12. Air/Vacuum Release Valves
Air vacuum release valves shall be located at all high points and at vertical realignments of the water
line.
13. Pressure Reducing Valves
Pressure reducing valves shall be located on transmission/distribution mains to maintain design
pressure ranges in accordance with approved water master plans. These locations must be
coordinated with, and approved by, Utility. PRV sizing shall be based on anticipated
minimum/maximum flow ranges.

(Class 350). The depth requirement for placing waterlines under washes or channels shall be the
deeper of the following two cases:
a. Per the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality’s Engineering Bulletin No. 10, the minimum
cover over the pipe shall be greater than or equal to two (2) feet below the scour depth (based on
Scour Analysis described below).
b. The minimum cover over the pipe may be based on the 100-year flow rate of the wash or channel
as shown in the table below. Note that the “additional depth” in the table refers to the depth of
pipe that must be added to the normal cover requirements that are provided in Detail No. 350-1.
100-Year Flow Rate
Additional Depth
1 to 49 cfs
1 foot
50 to 99 cfs
2 feet
100 to 499 cfs
3 feet
Greater than 499 cfs
Scour Depth (based on Scour
Analysis); minimum of 3 feet
Details on the determination of the 100-year flow rate shall be submitted to the Utility for review. The
Scour Analysis shall be in accordance with the Arizona “State Standard for Watercourse System
Sediment Balance” (SS5-96), Guideline 2, Level III, as published by the Arizona Department of Water
Resources (http://www.azwater.gov/azdwr/SurfaceWater/FloodManagement/StateStandards.htm).
The Scour Analysis shall be submitted to the Utility for review for all wash crossings. Note: If a
sediment transport analysis has been performed by the Flood Control District of Maricopa County for
the subject wash crossing, this can be submitted to Utility for review, and this may eliminate the need
for additional analysis.
15. Minimum Residential Potable Water Meter Sizing
All residential meters shall be sized in compliance with the current Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) and
any applicable municipal or other governmental requirements. For residential meters 1-inch or larger,
the municipality-approved architectural calculations shall be submitted to Utility to document the sizing
of meters. For residences that include fire sprinklers or landscape irrigation, the meter size shall be
the greater of the following:
a. meter size as determined by the current UPC, or
b. from each fire sprinkler zone within the residence, the highest of these fire flows must be in
accordance with the table below (i.e., if the calculated fire sprinkler flow is 31 gpm, then a 1-
inch meter will be required), or
c. the landscape irrigation flow must be in accordance with the table below:
Minimum Required Meter Size

3 and larger
Determined on a case-by-case basis
The maximum flows provided in the table above should only be imposed on the meter for short,
intermittent periods. Meters should not be operated on a continuous 24-hour service at flows greater
than one-half of the maximum flows provided in the table above.
16. Service Line Size
The minimum service line size is 1-inch, installed in accordance with Utility’s STD. DET. 342-2. The
appropriate adapter shall be installed with the meter box as shown on STD. DET. 342-2. Where the
water meter size is greater than 1-inch, the service line must be the same size as the meter. The
May 2020
25
diameter of new service lines cannot exceed 50% of the service main diameter. A new water main
extension may be required where Utility determines that existing main capacity has been exceeded.
17. Meter Location
a. Install meters side-by-side, straddling the lines where possible, not at road intersection corners,
and l not adjacent to fire hydrants.
b. Each service line requires a separate tap to the main.
c. Residential fire sprinkler and irrigation water service is permitted through the domestic service line
and meter. Commercial developments require separate water meters for building and landscape.
d. Each parcel of land must have its own separate service line and meter. A single service line and a
master meter can be used for two or more buildings located on the same lot such as an
apartment complex, trailer courts or similar projects covering one lot. In high density applications
where an assured continuous water supply must be maintained, the development must have two
master meters, each with its own service connection to Utility’s main to create a secondary looped
connection to the development.
e. No service connections or fire protection systems will be made to water lines greater than 12
inches in diameter.
f.
Existing service lines that will not be used by a development shall be abandoned and plugged at
the main.
18. Water System Layout
a. To provide appropriate (i) water pressure, (ii) water circulation, (iii) redundancy, and (iv) minimize
taste and odor issues, all water mains must be designed with a minimum of two sources (looped
configuration) – see “Dead-End Lines” below for exceptions.
b. Water and sewer mains must have a minimum distance of 12 feet from buildings or retaining
walls, as measured from the edge of the building foundation or wall to the outside of the main. In
rare cases where a water or sewer main must encroach within 12 feet from a building or retaining
wall, additional protection is required. Additional protection may include the use of a sleeve for the
main, or modifications to the footing of the structure, to prevent damage in the event of a main
break.
c. Ninety-degree (90-degree) fittings are not allowed in rights-of-way.
19. Dead-End Lines
Dead-end lines with no service connections are not allowed. Where dead-end lines with service
connections do occur, cap dead-end lines with a curb stop (blow off) with flushing pipe per EPCOR
Detail 390-1. All dead-end lines will be approved on a case by case basis.
20. Thrust Blocks
Thrust blocks are not allowed in rights-of-way. Use restrained joints per MAG Standard Detail 303-1
and 303-2 in rights-of-way in place of concrete thrust blocks.
