Re: Water System Comprehensive Plan Review
Introduction
The City is in the process of updating the Water System Comprehensive Plan. The final plan will consist
of two large binders; one with chapter data and one with appendices. This is a large amount of
information to review, especially at one time. We also have a deadline to submit the plan to Washington
Department of Health (DOH) that is quickly approaching. We intend to divide the chapters and review the
preliminary draft plan in smaller segments. Reviewing the plan in this manner will allow us to meet the
DOH deadline.
The following review schedule is proposed:
Review Chapters 2-6 in November. These chapters include information on Planning Considerations,
Policies & Criteria, Water Requirements, Existing System, and Water Resources.
Review Chapters 7-9 in December. These chapters include information on Water Quality, Water Use
Efficiency, and System Analysis.
Review Chapters 1, 10-12 in January. This includes an Introduction chapter and information on Capital
Improvements Plan, Financial, and Operations & Maintenance.
Appendices will only be included in the final document, unless specific data is requested. A binder with
Chapters 2-6 will be provided for review in November. We will provide additional chapters to insert into
the binder for review in December and January. We request council members keep their binder and bring
them to future meetings.
