The Water Department is updating the Water and Wastewater Installation Policy and Design Criteria for development and redevelopment.

The scope of work includes four phases. Phase 1 is to review the Water Department's Installation Policy and Design Criteria and compare with those of other utilities. Phase 2 is to assess the standards needing to be updated and determine how those polices and criteria affect other existing city policies and ordinances. Phase 3 is to develop the revised design criteria and policies. Phase 4 is to seek input from the stakeholders and incorporate comments into a draft design criteria and policy update. The work is expected to start in August 2017 and be complete by July 2018.
