I have completed a preliminary review for the above-referenced proposal located at parcel(s)

Renton by the applicant.

pressure zone.
2. There is an existing 6-inch City water main located in NE 16th Street (see Water plan no. W-1878)
and an existing 8-inch City water main located in Harrington Ave NE (see Water plan no. W-
1878) that can deliver 1,500 gallons per minute (gpm). The static water pressure is 86 psi at
elevation of 366 feet.

development:
a. Installation of a new 1-inch minimum domestic water service line and meter to each
new lot. The existing ¾-inch can be used for one of the lots.
b. Installation of a pressure-reducing-valve (PRV) behind the water meter because the
pressure is over 80 psi.
c. Installation of a “Storz” adapter on the existing hydrants.
6. The development is subject to a water system development charge (SDC) fee. The SDC fee for
water is based on the size of the new domestic water to serve the project. The current water fee

line is $3,250.00 per service connection. Each lot shall have a separate meter. Credit will be
