PREAMBLE:
K.C.C. chapter 13.24 requires approval of comprehensive plans for water utilities as a prerequisite for granting right-of-way franchises and approval of right-of-way construction permits.
RCW 43.20.260 requires that water system plans for any new industrial, commercial, or residential use are to be consistent with the requirements of any comprehensive plans or development regulations adopted under chapter 36.70A RCW or any other applicable comprehensive plan, land use plan, or development regulation adopted by a city, town, or county for the service area.
The city of Duvall currently provides water service to 5,200 residents and several schools and businesses. The city is located in the northeast portion of King County.
The city of Duvall obtains its water from Seattle Public Utilities. The average annual water demand is currently 0.42 million gallons per day. The demand is projected to increase to about 0.79 million gallons per day in 2022, assuming a modest water conservation reduction of one-percent per year.
The city of Duvall is planning a 10-year capital improvement program valued at nearly $6,300,000. The capital improvements proposed include modifications to the storage and distribution systems.
The King County utilities technical review committee ("UTRC") reviewed the plan for compliance with K.C.C. chapter 13.24, and conditionally approved the plan on October 13, 2004. The conditions of approval have been met in the plan copies attached to this ordinance. The UTRC recommends that the King County council approve the plan.
