Bo
The Turnout Construction Agreement between Tacoma Water and City of Auburn
dated November 8, 2002, and adopted by City of Auburn Resolution 3543 dated

C. DEFINITIONS:
The definition of certain terms, when used in this agreement, are as follows:
TURNOUT means a physical connection between water mains of the two parties
to this agreement, at specifically identified points, where water may be transferred
Exhibit" 1"
Auburn Resolution No. ~ ~.~ 7
-1-
from the supplies of one system to the transmission or distribution facilities of the
other.
ISOLATION VALVE means a positive shut-offvalve that shall be installed
immediately downstream of the water meter vault at the point in each water
system that is used to accept or deliver water through the turnout. The isolation
valve is defined as part of the system connected to the turnout and not part of the
turnout. Each connected system has sole responsibility for providing and
operating their isolation valve.
TURNOUT CAPACITY means the maximum flow capacity for water to be
delivered through a turnout as agreed upon by the parties to this agreement.
Turnout facilities shall be designed so as to be capable of conveying no less than
the maximum agreed upon flow.
SSP means the Second Supply Project (to bring water to the SSP Partners)
SSP ISOLATION VALVE means a positive shut-off valve that shall be installed
at the point in each water system that is used to accept or deliver water through
the turnout. The SSP isolation valve is defined as part of the system connected to
the turnout upstream of the meter vault. Each connected system has sole
responsibility for providing the SSP isolation valve. Tacoma will be responsible
for operating the SSP isolation valve.
SSP PARTNERS refers to the City of Kent, Tacoma Water, Covington Water
District and Lakehaven Utility District.
PURCHASE OF WATER FOR THIS TURNOUT:
The purchase of water to be delivered via this subject turnout shall be by a
separate agreement with one or more of the SSP Partners and Auburn. This
Turnout Construction Agreement does not guarantee any rights to use or purchase
water from any of the SSP Partners. Tacoma will only allow Auburn, its
successors and assigns, to obtain water via the subject turnout after the applicable
SSP partner has advised Tacoma in writing that an acceptable agreement for water
purchase has been executed. In delivering water via the subject tumouts, Tacoma
will be relying on directions and/or confirmation from the SSP partner as to the
timing and quantities of water deliveries and all other aspects of providing water
via the subject turnouts. In the event of a disagreement between Auburn and the
applicable SSP Partner pertaining to entitlement to continued water delivery via
the subject turnouts, Tacoma is entitled to rely on the written directions or
instructions of the SSP partner. Therefore, Auburn agrees that it shall not file any
claim or legal action against Tacoma when Tacoma's actions are consistent with
the written directions or instructions from the applicable SSP partner from which
Auburn has contractual arrangements to purchase water.

Auburn Resolution No.
E. CONDITIONS:
The TURNOUTS described in Exhibits A, B-l, B-2 and B-3 attached to
this agreement shall be governed by the terms of this agreement. No
future TURNOUTS shall be permissible without a subsequent and

The cost of design and construction of the TURNOUTS and installation of

Tacoma (see Exhibit A for more information), with all capital costs to be
paid by Auburn. Maintenance and operation of the SSP ISOLATION
VALVES, piping and meters will be performed solely by Tacoma, and
Aubum will be invoiced for such costs and shall reimburse Tacoma.
Meter vault maintenance costs and any cost for maintaining any
equipment such as pumps, buildings and other appurtenances downstream

and a 16" diameter water line containing Auburn water. The turnout is located at
the intersection of 132nd Avenue SE and SE 296th Street extended. The turnout
consists of 12" diameter piping with 12" diameter valves to control flow. A 6-
inch diameter water meter will be used to measure the volume of water
transferred between the two systems. The meter will be contained in a concrete
vault buffed in the Second Supply Pipeline right-of-way. Second Supply Pipeline
construction drawings 15-19-62 and 15-19-69 are attached and show the detail for
the turnout vault construction.
The turnout is designed to be capable of conveying at least 3000 gallons per
minute from Tacoma owned facilities to Auburn with approximately 125-foot
differential in hydrostatic pressure under normal operating conditions.
TURNOUT #2: A 12-inch turnout connection located on the east side of B Street
NW and approximately 32nd Street NW between Tacoma's 60"diameter Second
Supply Pipeline and Auburn's 16" diameter water line in B Street. An 8-inch
diameter water meter will be used to measure the volume of water transferred
between the two systems. Second Supply Pipeline construction drawings 15-25-
29 and 15-21-62 are attached and show the details for the turnout vault
construction.
The turnout is designed to be capable of conveying at least 8300 gallons per
