Box 1997 charball@kalispell.com Kalispell, MT 59903-1997 TO: Mayor Pamela B. Kennedy and Kalispell City Council FROM: Charles Harball, City Attorney James H. Patrick, City Manager SUBJECT: Meter Curb Boxes MEETING DATE: Monday, May 2, 2005 — Regular Council Meeting BACKGROUND: The City Council had the opportunity at the April 25, 2005 workshop to review the proposal by the Public Works Department to require the installation of insulated meter curb boxes with back flow protection on all new construction. The reasons for this recommendation was that this requirement would make the meters more accessible to the City for maintenance (by not being in the home) and it would provide the much needed back flow protection for the integrity of the City water supply. n 'Y"1 /'1flA lflTT.1 llTT1 A YTIT 11l�T !i •l 3 1 l 1 3 !+ l S tG!!it—iJ1Y1iV1Ca1V Lti L 1 Vl�i: t punClI Shouid consider and pass one oI the three following motions: a) A motion that directs the Public Works Department to make no change in the current requirements to metering or back flow protection. b) A motion that directs the Public Works Department to require all new construction to have a double check valve and expansion tank installed for back flow protection. c) A motion that directs the Public Works Department to require an insulated meter curb box with back flow protection be installed on all new construction.
