Construction Water
Most construction projects and activities requiring water from a fire hydrant in the District require a Construction Hydrant Meter Permit, including placement by the District of a construction water meter. A refundable security deposit is required for the use of the meter. In cases where a fire hydrant is not available or placement of a construction water meter is not possible, a Construction Water Permit may be used to provide water for construction purposes. In advance of your project, please contact the District to schedule an appointment to determine your construction water needs. The District’s current Construction Hydrant Meter Permit and Construction Water Permit forms are provided below for your information.
Construction Inspection
The District provides construction inspection services directed at achieving the highest possible level of quality.
Construction Inspection performs a variety of duties involved in inspecting the workmanship and materials applied in the construction and repair of capital improvement projects and private developer/public agency infrastructure. District inspection strives to achieve compliance with approved plans, District construction specifications, local, state and federal regulations, as well as public safety. All improvements to the District’s water system are reviewed to ensure their proper location within dedicated rights-of-way and easements. Upon successful completion of a project, to be owned and operated by the District, ownership of the water system passes from the owner to the District by means of a formal written acceptance.
