LEAK ADJUSTMENT CODE UPDATE a) AB - 1803 2. RELEASE OF EASEMENT REQUEST FOR MEADOWCREST EARLY LEARNING CENTER a) AB - 1805 AB - 1803 City Council Regular Meeting - 21 Nov 2016 SUBJECT/TITLE: Leak Adjustment Code Update RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Utilities Committee DEPARTMENT: Utility Systems Division STAFF CONTACT: Lys Hornsby, Utility Systems Director EXT.: 7239 FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY: N/A SUMMARY OF ACTION: In 2006, the City staff drafted a leak adjustment policy to assist in evaluating requests for bill adjustments for customers with large water leaks. Staff wanted a policy that provided a standard process for determining the amount of adjustment and under what circumstances. Since this time the City has received numerous requests for very large adjustments. In some instances the policy did not provide clear guidance on what was an eligible case for an adjustment. This modification clearly states that water adjustments will be granted for the water service line only and includes a definition of the water service line. EXHIBITS: A. Draft Ordinance STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Modify the Water Billing Adjustment for Water Leak section of the Renton Municipal Code to clarify that water adjustments will be granted for the water service line only and to include a definition of the water service line, and place the ordinance amending RMC 8-4-46 on the agenda for first reading. AGENDA ITEM #1. a) 1 CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON ORDINANCE NO. ________ AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON, AMENDING SECTION 8‐4‐46 OF CHAPTER 4, WATER, OF TITLE VIII (HEALTH AND SANITATION) OF THE RENTON MUNICIPAL CODE, CLARIFYING THE CITY’S WATER LEAK ADJUSTMENT POLICY. THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION I. Section 8‐4‐46, Water Billing Adjustment for Water Leak, of Chapter 4, Water, Of Title VIII (Health and Sanitation) of the Renton Municipal Code, is amended as follows: 8‐4‐46 WATER BILLING ADJUSTMENT FOR WATER LEAK: A. The City will process and grant no more than one (1) water billing adjustment for water leaks on the customers’ side of the water meter per water service connection every five (5) years. Adjustments will be calculated over the billing periods when the water leak occurred, up to a maximum of two (2) regular meter reading cycles. Leak aAdjustments will be granted for leaks on the service lines only. A service line is the pipe from the City‐owned water meter to the house or commercial building. Examples of piping that are not eligible for leak adjustments include but are not limited to irrigation systems; frozen connections or pipes; hose bibs; leaky toilets or internal building plumbing; pools or hot tubs; outdoor water features such as ponds or fountains; and docks. B. A written request for a water billing adjustment must be submitted to Utility Billing Customer Service within sixty (60) days of discovery of the water AGENDA ITEM #1. a) ORDINANCE NO. ________ 2 leak and/or sixty (60) days of receipt of a notice from the City regarding high water consumption and that a water leak might have occurred. The written request must include the service address, billing periods over which the leak occurred, location of the leak and a copy of the repair receipt and/or a description of the completed repair. The applicant must show that the leak occurred on the service line and was repaired. Photos verifying the repair and the location of the repair on the service line are strongly recommended. Exception to the timely submittal of an adjustment request may be made if the Administrative Services Department Administrator or designee determines that the applicant has made good faith effort to effect the necessary repairs, or the repairs cannot be performed due to other extraneous circumstances that cannot be controlled by the applicant. C. The water portion of the bill will be adjusted by charging for only fifty percent (50%) of the leaked consumption over the two (2) billing periods when the leak occurred. A sample calculation for an adjustment is: (0.50 X Consumption in excess of the historical average for the billing period) X Commodity Rate. Adjustments greater than two thousand dollars ($2,000) shall be submitted to the Finance Committee for approval or denial. There will be no adjustment of the Basic Monthly Charge or any other water charge. SECTION II. This ordinance shall be in full force and effect thirty (30) days after publication of a summary of this ordinance in the City’s official newspaper. The summary shall consist of this ordinance’s title. AGENDA ITEM #1. a) ORDINANCE NO. ________ 3 PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL this _______ day of ___________________, 2016. Jason A.

One easement was granted in 1965 and another in 2007. The required fees were received on October 28, 2016 and the release of easements were sent to the Department of Community and Economic Development (CED) for validation. CED validated the petitions on November 8, 2016. The easements are being released as they are no longer needed for the City utilities. The development approved and constructed on the site through CED rerouted the existing utilities and new easements were required to cover the new City utilities. The request to release the easements was made by the City during review and is now being formalized by this process. EXHIBITS: A. Approval memo B. Release of Easement (KC #20070416000702) C. Release of Easement (KC #5852489) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the release of easements submitted by the Renton School District for the Meadowcrest Early Learning Center. AGENDA ITEM #2. a) 1 Jason Seth From:Amanda Askren Sent:Tuesday, November 08, 2016 8:41 AM To:Jason Seth; Megan Gregor Cc:Rohini Nair Subject:Release of Easement - Meadowcrest Good morning! I am in receipt and have reviewed the Release of Easement documents for the Renton School District – Meadowcrest Early Learning Center. The forms are filled out correctly, however the borders on the exhibits do not meet the 1” margin required for recording. With approval, I believe by scaling down the exhibit we can achieve the required margins. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the review. Thanks!
