Memo Hansz/Irrigation Water Service (2)�IA
MEMORANDUM
May 26,1998
To: Glen Neier, City Attorney
From: Jim Hansz, Director of Publi Works
Subject: Irrigation water service
Dave Greer stopped by the office today to discuss signing up for irrigation water service for the five
park/greenbelt areas in the Buffalo Commons development. These park/greenbelt sites were a City
requirement for the development. The attached drawing shows these five sites and meter pit locations.
Upon review of the City's water regulations and the 1996 amendments, relevant copy attached, it appears
impossible to provide irrigation service for these park sites within the present policy language. There is
no authorization for providing irrigation as a stand alone service, it must be in conjunction with
residential or commercial service. In fact, the language is very specific that irrigation service is not
permitted. We provide irrigation on a regular basis to our parks department and as a metered item to
regular residential and commercial customers. But, I am puzzled as to why we deny this option as a
separate service category within the City, especially when we routinely require park -style landscaping in
developments. It appears to be an area that needs review.
Can you please look at this situation and let me know whether I am misreading this regulation? Is there
authorization for irrigation service some place I am unaware of? If this is denied by the present
regulation, then can you recommend language for a revision? I would suggest including:
• A connection fee of $600.00, to include a 5/8" meter.
• Cost of meters larger than 5/8" to be paid by customer with credit given for a 5/8".
• A water rate of $.75/1000 gallons per schedule C.
These suggested elements are consistent with current policy regarding general water service. If they are
made specific for irrigation service we could provide this service without problems.
Dave Greer would like to arrange irrigation service as soon as possible. Please let me know what you
think about this and whether any action by Council is necessary to move forward. If Council action is
required please let me know what I can do to expedite the process.
