IN TALBOT HILL NEIGHBORHOOD
Dear Resident:
The City of Renton has hired VJM Construction of Redmond, Washington to replace water
mains in your neighborhood to improve fire protection and water quality. The work includes
installing additional fire hydrants and replacing water service lines from the new water lines
to the existing water meters. A map showing the location of the new water lines is provided
on the back of this notice.
The construction project will begin in August 15, 2005 and is scheduled for completion by
Mid -November, 2005.
Access to your neighborhood will be maintained at all times during construction of the
project. The contractor will notify you in advance of beginning the project and will work with
you to address any temporary closure of your driveway during the installation of the water
line.
POTENTIAL IMPACTS ON YOUR HOT WATER TANK AND HOUSE PLUMBING
As part of the replacement of the water service line in the street, the contractor will install a
check valve behind your water meter. The check valve prevents water in your household
plumbing from flowing back into the City's water main. As a result, water pressure may
build up in your hot water tank as the water expands during heating.
In order to avoid excessive pressure buildup in your hot water tank, you need to inspect your
hot water tank to verify that it is equipped with a pressure and temperature relief valve. If
it is not present, you need to install one on the tank. Please see the enclosed brochure for
more information regarding the installation and function of a pressure and temperature relief
valve. You can install the pressure and temperature relief valve yourself by following the
manufacturer's instructions, or you can have the device installed by a plumber.
You may notice an increase in pressure and volume of water at your taps. The water pressure
in the City's mains serving your neighborhood varies between 70 and 110 pounds per square
inch. The Uniform Plumbing Code requires that a pressure -reducing valve be installed on a
water service having pressure greater than 80 pounds per square inch. Upon request, the
City's Water Maintenance Department will check the water pressure at your meter and will
notify you if the pressure is above 80 pounds per square inch. High water pressure can
damage your house plumbing and may cause banging water pipes and dripping faucets. You
can install the pressure -reducing valve yourself or have it installed by a plumber.
We would like to thank you in advance for your patience during this project. If you have any
questions or comments about this project, please contact:

THERMAL EXPANSION ABSORBERS
Prevents Unnecessary Relief Valve
Operation
Eliminates Lost BTU's and Energy Waste
[�] Lowers Fuel Costs
® Ends Messy Floors and Relief Valve
Spillage
With the increase of code requirements for backflow
preventers on water heaters, thermal expansion of
water in the storage tank is becoming a major
concern.
When demand is put upon the system, hot water is
drawn from the tank. Cold water from the supply
line enters the tank to replenish it. Once the tank is
filled, the colder water is heated to provide hot water
for the demand cycle. With the installation of a
backflow preventer (or check valve) on the supply
line, the closed delivery fixtures, the tank and the
system piping form a closed system under pressure.
As the water is heated, thermal expansion occurs.
Pressure increases until the relief valve opens and
the expanded water "spills" from the tank. This
represents wasted BTU's and energy. The thermal
expansion absorbers are designed to eliminate this
problem by providing control of maximum
pressures at a level below the relief valve setting.
And also by providing an additional space in the
system to accommodate the increased volume of
water created by thermal expansion, returning it to
the system when delivery is demanded at the outlet
fixtures.
Maximum pressure is kept well below the relief
valve setting by the thermal expansion absorbers
with its precharged air chamber that is permanently
separated from system water. The relief valve does
not open and "spilling" is eliminated.
The compact, low cost, easy to install Model ST-12,
shown above, controls the thermal expansion of
most home water heaters up to 120 gallons.* Requires
no maintenance.

PLANNING/BUILDING/PUBLIC WORKS - UTILITY SYSTEMS
TO PROTECT YOUR HOMI; AND FAMILY FROM "THE POSSIBILITY OF
A CW'ATER HEATER EXPLOSION, YOU SHOULD CHECK YOUR HOT
WATER STORAGE?. TANK TO MAKE: SURE THAT IT HAS A "TEMPERA-
TURE AND PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE". 1F YOUR WATER HEATER IS
NOT EQUIPPED WITH THIS VALVE, READ ON.
-Why should I be concerned now, when I have lived in the same house
with the same water heating system for many years?
To ensure the quality of your drinking water, the Utilities Division of the
City of Renton is:
1. Systematically replacing old galvanized iron pipes which connect the City
water main in the street to the water meters servicing homes and businesses,
and
2. Installing backflow prevention devices at each meter:
In the past, before relief valves were required, if your system overheated or
built up excessive pressure, the hot water could flow back through the pipes
into the City water main.
While backflow prevention devices reduce the possibility of contamination
of water in the city water mains, it also means that your hot water can no
longer flow back through the pipes into the City water main.
Therefore, introduction of these backflow prevention devices makes it
critical that your hot water tank be equipped with the temperature and
pressure relief valves since overheated water will have no place to go.
What is a "temperature and pressure relief valve?
A temperature and pressure relief valve is a safety device installed on water
heaters which can prevent injury, hazard to life and damage to property
resulting from an explosion.
In the event that excessive temperature or pressure develops in a water
heater, the relief valve opens automatically, discharges hot water through a
discharge pipe into an open drain. Cold crater flows into the system, cools
down the water remauiing in the tank and relieves the pressure.
What causes a water heater to explode?
The basic cause of hot water storage tank explosion is overheating or
excessive temperature. Superheated water expands, creates pressure in a
closed storage tank and, if there is a wealuiess in the tank or corrosion is
present, the tank may explode.
Exactly what should I look for?
To be certain that your water heating system meets
building code requirements, look for a temperature and
pressure relief valve similar to the one illustrated in
Figure 1. It may be installed on the top of your water
tank or on the side. (See Figure 2.) Attached to the
temperature and pressure relief valve should be a tag
which is marked with maximum pressure and
temperature standards for your water heater. Make sure
that the relief valve is connected to a discharge pipe
which will carry water to within 6" of a suitable open
drain.
I checked my hot water tank and it is
not equipped with such a device.
Tell me what to do.

Go to your local FIG. l
hardware store and
look for a package
that says "tempera-

purchase price is
approximately S6
to $10,
Can I install it myself?
Yes. There are instructions on the
regulator carton, but if you are
uneasy about installing it, a
plumber can install it quickly and
safely for you.
Is a permit required to install the device? No.
1 qualify for the City's low income elderly and/or handicapped water rates.
Can the City help me?
If your hot water tank requires a new temperature and pressure relief valve and
you qualify under the low income elderly and/or handicapped water rates, the City
will install one for you at no cost.
I want more information!

Ingram Short Plat -
There is currently a Short Plat under construction at: 1411 Shattuck Ave. S. under the
name Ingram Short Plat. As a condition of the construction permit, the private
developer will be installing a 4" water main within a private driveway to provide
domestic service to each lot. Because our new 8-inch main is being installed in
August —through September, the developer is being allowed to install a tee and valve
in the location of where our new main will be installed instead of tying to the existing
6-inch main. This is to avoid an additional tie-in and wasted open cut trench on a line
that will be abandoned. VJM shall align the pipe within this area of Shattuck for
future connection to this new plat. City will tie-in after contractor's pipe in
serviceable.
