available other than the Second Supply Pipeline
Change was made. Text was added to read "The CWD maintains
three interties with the Cedar River Water and Sewer District, which
in turn purchases water from the City of Seattle, and one emergency
intertie with WD#111. The CWD is also participating in the Cascade
Water Alliance.
5 Sec 2.5 Other Class A
Water Systems
PWC Add text regarding Class B and private wells, and City
encouragement to connect to City.
Change was made. The section was retitled "Other Water Systems"

12 Sec 3.6.12 Reservoir Sizing PWC Does emergency storage include interties and is the
volume of storage a Department of Health requirement?
No change needed. The emergency storage component of reservoir
sizing does not include emergency interties.
13 Sec 3.6.12 Reservoir Sizing PWC Is emergency storage volume determined by City of
Auburn or mandated by Department of Health?
No change needed. There are minimum storage requirements set
by Department of Health (DOH). DOH has recommended minimum
criteria. COA calculates emergency storage differently resulting in a
more conservative approach than DOH recommendations to better
account for unique aspects of the City's water system.
14 Sec 3.10.4 Development
Changes
PWC Do bulleted items accurately reflect Capital Facility Plan
Policy?
No change needed. Yes
15 Sec 4.2.2 Par 3 Wholesale

Valley Storage
Analysis
PWC Should the reliable source capacity volumes change for
the years 2014 and 2028?
No change needed. The reliable capacity volumes shown is Table
5.7 reflect conditions without any improvements completed. Table
5.12 shows reliable capacity volumes with projects completed as
proposed in the Capital Improvements Program.
17 Sec 6.7.4 Water Reuse PWC Add references to irrigation and recharge.Change was made. Text revised to address irrigation and recharge.

City of Pacific and City of Auburn is consistent with our
understanding of the boundary. The emergency intertie to
provide the City of Pacific is consistent with our records
No change needed.
24 Sec ES.3
Table ES.1

two intertie symbols for Lakehaven Utility District are
shown in the wrong location. 1. Future Interties should be
located at 15th Street NW & Terrace Drive. 2. Existing
Intertie located at Aaby Drive & Knickerbocker Drive

28 Sec 2.4.7 Lakehaven Utility
District
LUD Section 2, 2.4.7 Lakehaven Utility District, Page 2-12: You
may want to update this section to indicate that
Lakehaven Utility District has completed a second feed to
this West Hill area via an 8-inch pipeline within Hi-Crest
Drive (2009) and has decommissioned the Aaby Drive
pump station (2009).
Change will be made in the final Plan.

LUD Section 2, 2.9 Inventory of Related Studies, Page 2-20:
Lakehaven Utility District Comprehensive Plan should be
identified with the year 2008.
Change will be made in the final Plan.
31 Sec 5.2.1.1 Valley Service Area LUD Section 5, 5.2.1.1 Valley Service Area, Page 5-2: “There
are active interties in the Valley Service Are to Algona, as
well as emergency interties to Pacific, Lakehaven and
Kent.” This statement from the Auburn 2009 Comp Plan
could be misleading due to the fact that there is no
physical connection at this time between Lakehaven and
Auburn at the 15th Street NW and Terrace Drive location,
and the power to the intertie at the Aaby Drive pump
station has been disconnected (2009).
Change will be made in the final Plan. Text will be modified to clarify
interties with purveyors.
32 Sec 5.4.1.11 Braunwood Well LUD Section 5, 5.4.1.11 Braunwood well, Page 5-24: In 2004,
the Braunwood well was redeveloped and refurbished with
a new 20 GPM submersible pump.

RWSA Pierce Chapter 2 RWSA, Page 2-1: The County has signed a
Standard Service Agreement (SSA) with Auburn dated 09-
16-1997 (reference R#2873 dated 09-15-09). However,
the claimed RWSA does not match what the County has
on record nor the RWSA boundary depicted in Figure 2.1.
Please provide a new signed SSA with a map (no larger
than 11” x 17” in size) that depicts the RWSA, as
correlated to the tax parcel base, within Pierce County
(see Attachment A). Please add text to reference signed
Standard Service Agreements with Pierce County. Please
include these documents in an appendix.
Change will be made in the final Plan. A new SSA will be prepared
and executed.
40 Chapter 2
Page 2-1
RWSA Pierce Chapter 2 RWSA, Page 2-1: In addition, the electronic
version of the RWSA you submitted does not appear to
match the tax parcel boundaries or those of adjacent
purveyors (see Attachment B – we show your RWSA in
purple and you show in hatch marks). This may be
caused by a data shift? Please correct this discrepancy in
the final submitted SSA map.
No change will be made. The City of Auburn and City of Bonney
Lake water service boundary was negotiated prior to the
development of these parcels. In 2010, the City of Auburn will
coordinate with the City of Bonney Lake for a new service area
boundary to match the tax parcel boundaries.

Section
42 Sec 2.2 Retail Water
Service Area
King The second paragraph states the current boundaries of
the retail water service area (RWSA) match those
established in the Coordinated Water System Plan
(CWSP) with on exception. The paragraph then goes on
to list several interlocal agreements and therein is our
confusion. If the RWSA is the same as within the CWSP
except for a portion of Pierce County (an area south of the
City), why are interlocal agreements with Kent and King
County Water District 111 listed? Given those jurisdictions
are north of the City, they have nothing to do with Pierce
County. do the interlocal agreements identified with
Lakehaven, City of Kent, or King County Water District
111 change the respective service areas identified in the
CWSP? See also the second paragraph on page 2-7
and/or the last paragraph of section 2.4.3 that talks about
modified service areas with King County Water District
111.
Change will be made in the final Plan. Text will be revised and
expanded to clarify the City of Auburn RWSA boundaries with King
and Pierce Counties.
43 Sec 2.4.3 RWSA King The last sentence of the second paragraph is confusing.
The sentence states that, "The City serves outside its
RWSA as a result of the division of WD 87 until such time
as Kent system expands." Our understanding is that the
retail service area defined or demarcated in a water
system plan must include where the City currently serves
water. Please clarify the retail service area for the City.
Comment noted. No change will be made. The City of Auburn has
not expanded their service area. The City is assisting Kent on an
interim basis with providing water to this area.
44 -Unincorporated
King County
King it would be helpful to identify those portions of
unincorporated King County served by the City on one of
the maps, perhaps Figure 2.1 or perhaps ES.2

Section
45 Sec 2.9 Inventory of
Related Studies
King To your list, please add the 2006 King county Flood
Hazard Management Plan. For that plan, we encourage
the City, as you have probably now done because of the
Howard Hanson situation, to talk about the relationship of
the City water system to floodplain management programs
such as the Regional Flood Warning Center and
emergency response, public education and outreach
programs. The salmon recovery plan, especially the
chapter for the Green River basin, seems to be very
applicable for the City as it considers new source
development. For example, whether planned development
of new sources of supply may be constrained by potential
adverse effects on streamflows of habitat for listed
species, and plans for mitigation or avoiding impacts.
Comment noted. No change will be made. Emergency operations
for the water system, whether in response to flood conditions or
other hazard, are discussed in Chapter 12 - Operations and
Maintenance and have been developed as part of the Public Works
Emergency Response Manual. The City recognizes that any new
source development would need to consider potential adverse
impacts to stream flows.
46 Sec 3.1 Policies and
Criteria for Water
Service
King The second paragraph, second sentence, states, "The
City may develop criteria and standards for satellite
systems that differ from those developed for the City's
multi-source municipal water system." We encourage you
to develop any criteria and standards for satellite systems
that differ from those developed for the City's multi-source
municipal water system and state them in the Plan. As
you know, there are currently numerous smaller Group A
and Group B public water systems within the city's service
area. If those systems are not able to provide adequate,
potable water, the CWSP policies call for Auburn to
provide service. It seems prudent to put in place now the
framework to create predictability for small systems and
enable the City to provide satellite or remote service.
Change will be made in the final Plan. In the second paragraph, the
first sentence will be revised to read "The policies included in this
plan are developed specifically for the City's multi-source municipal
water system (System Number 03350V)." and the second sentence
will be deleted.

47 Sec 3.2.1 Retail Service Area King This section is a bit confusing with the use of the terms
firm and no-firm customer. It is our understanding that the
City has a duty to serve all customers with in the RWSA.
Please clarify what a firm or non-firm customer is and how
you can have customers within the RWSA and not have a
duty to provide water.
Change will be made in the final Plan. Section 3.2.1 will be retitled
"Retail Water Service Area". Reference to the Pierce County
Coordinated Water System Plan will be added to the first sentence.
The third sentence and remainder of this paragraph will be moved to
section 3.6.1 Water Supply Planning, as the second paragraph, to
read "The City will plan for and provide water service to all firm
customers. Firm customers are those customers within the RWSA
and wholesale customers to whom the City is obligated to provide
an uninterruptible supply of water. As supply permits, the City may
provide water to non-firm customers unilaterally or as part of a
capital improvement partnership agreement. Provision of water
service should be consistent with the goals, objectives and policies
of the City of Auburn Water Comprehensive Plan."
48 Sec 3.2.4 Potential
Annexation Areas
King Language in 3.2.4, first bullet, that says "(in the event of
significant conflict between county and City requirements,
the City may choose to not extend utility services)." What
conflict between county and City requirements may
compel the City to not extend utility service? I suggest that
if conflicts exist we should resolve them now to the extent
we can to ensure the City will extend utility service in the
RWSA.
Comment noted. No change will be made. This statement is in
accordance with the City Comprehensive Plan. The City will work to
resolve any conflicts which may arise.
49 3.2.5 Conditions of
Service
King Also potentially problematic is the first sentence of 3.2.5
that reads, "for areas outside the current City limits, but
within the RWSA, the City shall condition service on
agreement that development is in compliance with City
standards." As you probably know, there are at least two
unincorporated areas within the RWSA and not within the
PAA (very northwest corner and in the center of the City,
eastside, west of Covington Water District and east of the
City limit) and it seems problematic to say that
development will be in compliance with City standards for
development in the County. Why and how would the City
impose its development standards for areas in
unincorporated King County?
Change will be made in the final Plan. First sentence will be revised
to read "For areas outside the City limits, but within the RWSA, the
City shall condition service on agreement that development is in
compliance with City water system standards."

50 Sec 3.2.7 Connections for
Existing Wells
King The second to last bullet on page 3-5 says, "The owner of
lands located within Auburn's water service area that
apply to connect to the Auburn water system shall sign a
service agreement prohibiting the installation of an
irrigation well or wells on their lands for which service is
provided." Please state how this requirement will be
implemented for that part of the RWSA in unincorporated
Kind County in the light of RCW 90.44.050.
Comment noted. No change will be made. The owner of a parcel
who desires water service from the City is not specifically prohibited
from exercising the provisions of RCW 90.44.050 but rather is
entering into a contractual agreement to not install an irrigation well
as a condition of water service.
51 Sec 3.2.8 Service Extension King The second paragraph talks about the City working
cooperatively with King county to ensure that water
system facilities constructed within the RWSA and
unincorporated Kind County meet or exceed the County
standard. We agree that water system facilities must be
constructed to King County's standards and are happy to
meet with the City on this point if needed. We are
unaware of any water system facilities that do not meet
County standards in place at the time development
occurred.
Comment noted. No change will be made.
52 Sec 3.4.5 Fire Flow
Quantities
King Please document the fire flow quantities that apply within
the RWSA and outside of the City. For King County we
would look for those standards to be consistent with KCC
17.08
Change will be made in the final Plan. First bullet will be revised to
read "residential area within the RWSA." and the second bullet will
be revised to read "parks and open spaces within the RWSA."
53 Sec 3.5.1 Agency
Coordination
King We support the City in its efforts to coordinate and
cooperate with other agencies. We are concerned with
section 3.5.1 in that the City within this planning process
should determine the applicable regulatory requirements
for water now, as compared to some coordination at some
date in the future. For King County, an adequate water
supply is defined in KCC 21A.28.040 and we look for the
City to purvey water consistent with those standards for
that portion of the of the RWSA in unincorporated King
County.

54 Sec 3.6.1 Water Supply
Planning
King The City will project future populations with data from the
Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC). Using the PSRC
population data for future forecasts seems very
reasonable. We also encourage the City to ensure that the
Growth Management Act population and employment
targets accepted by the City be considered within your
analysis of future needs. The objective is to ensure that
the policy goals for population and employment for the
City can be met by the water supply.
Change will be made in the final Plan. The third sentence will be
revised to read "Future water demands will be estimated using
existing water usage patterns and projected future populations
developed by the City Planning Department and consistent with the
Puget Sound Regional Council data.
55 Sec 3.8 Water Use
Efficiency
King We are pleased to see the City promoting programs and
addressing water efficiency. We encourage the City to
comply with existing state law and file a water use
efficiency goal with DOH for 2009. Our understanding is
the City had not filed its goal for this year. We believe that
an aggressive conservation program is on that, at a
minimum, meets existing statutory standards.
Comment noted. No change will be made.
56 Sec 3.8.7 Reclaimed water King We appreciate the statement that the City is committed to
wastewater reuse. We also noted the language is section
6.7.4 and section 8.2.5 echoes the commitment to the
evaluation and use of reclaimed water. As you know, King
County is exploring the development of a reclaimed water
comprehensive plan. I appreciate the work you have done
with Mark Duscher and Kristina Westbrook related to that
planning effort; we encourage the City to integrate your
evaluation of reclaimed water with the County's work to
the extent practical. The City's commitment to reclaimed
water can be further supported by completion of the
reclaimed water checklist and inclusion of it in the Plan. It
appears that the checklist is incomplete (the first page is
missing) in appendix M.
Change will be made in the final Plan. First page of the checklist will
be included in Appendix M.

Section
57 Sec 3.10.10 Water Rate
Structures
King This section states that water rates should be set by
customer class based on the costs to serve each
customer class. We understand the city imposes a 50
percent surcharge on services outside the City, but within
the RWSA. However, we could find no justification or
explanation of what additional costs relate solely to
service outside the City to justify the 50 percent
surcharge. Please provide a rational beyond the policy
statement in the Plan to justify those costs of service for
those areas outside the City in unincorporated King
County. We believe such a description in the Plan will be
helpful should the County have to address an appeal of
timely and reasonable service under the CWSP.
Comment noted. No change will be made. The City is presently
conducting a rate study to determine the appropriate level of
adjustment to rates over the 2009-2014 planning period, with results
expected by the end of the first quarter 2010.
58 Sec 4.6.1 Existing Land Use King Figure 4.6 describes the zoning within the City. On figure
4.6, the zoning for unincorporated King County within the
RWSA is not described. Please affirm that even though
figure 4.6 does not describe the zoning for that portion of
the RWSA within King County that King County land use
zoning was used as part of your analysis. We suggest that
figure 4.6 would be more complete if it reflected the
County's zoning. County land use zoning for those areas
can be found on the King county website.
Change will be made in the final Plan. County zoning will be added
to the figure.
59 Sec 4.7 Growth Rate King Within this section it would seem appropriate to discuss
the final population and employment demand projections
used for the water forecast and, the GMA adopted
population and employment targets for the same six and
twenty year periods. Please describe how the GMA
adopted population and employment targets were
considered in your analysis.
Comment noted. No change will be made. Final population and
employment projections are presented in Table 4.8 and details of
the analysis are included in Appendix F.
60 Figure 4.7 Water Service Area King As you know, there are generally three areas associated
with the City and water supply, the corporate boundary of
the city, the RWSA, and the future service area under the
CWSP. We encourage you to use one of those three
terms. However, if another term is used to describe the
water service area it would be helpful to define it. Please
describe if the "water service area" on figure 4.7 is the
same as your RWSA, perhaps the future service area
under the CWSP, or some other area.
Change will be made in the final Plan. The City has areas of the
system that contain multiple pressure zones, commonly referred to
by Operations staff as water service areas. The City has four such
water service areas: the Valley, Academy, Lea Hill and Lakeland
Hills service areas. Text will be added in Section 2.2 and Figure 2.1
will be modified to clarify this.

61 Sec 6.8 Appendix K King Appendix K pertains to ground water management and the
City's wellhead protection plan. The description of the
wellhead protection plan, especially section 6.8.1 leads us
to believe there had been no change in the delineation of
the time of travel zones from the 2001 water system plan.
The City's wellhead protection plan from the 2001 water
system plan was incorporated into our critical areas
ordinances and reflected in critical aquifer recharge areas
as described in the 2008 King County comprehensive
Plan. If the wellhead protection zones have not changed,
the current critical areas ordinances affords the maximum
protection for that portion of the wellhead protection areas
in unincorporated King County and we can meet our
mutual interest of protecting ground water quality for
domestic supply.
Change will be made in the final Plan. There have been changes in
the delineation since the 2001 Plan. Text and figures presenting the
new delineations will be added.

Subject: Auburn Water System Plan
Cynthia
Thank you for providing the City of Pacific an opportunity to review the August 2009 City of Auburn
Comprehensive Water System Plan. The review has determined that retail service between the City of
Pacific and City of Auburn is consistent with our understanding of the boundary. The emergency intertie
to provide the City of Pacific is consistent with our records.
