Board approves boundary amendment to bring 8-lot Thompson Lane development into city water service
Loading...
Summary
The board approved Amendment No. 11 to move an eight‑lot proposed development at Thompson Lane and Silver Springs Road from the consolidated utility district (CUD) into the city's water service area after staff said the city's 20‑inch main can provide required fire protection while the CUD's 6‑inch line cannot. The developer will fund the required main extension.
The Water Resources Board voted to approve Amendment No. 11, allowing an eight‑lot development at Thompson Lane and Silver Springs Road to move from the consolidated utility district’s water service area into the city’s system.
Valerie, who presented the item, said the site is “at the corner of Thompson Lane and Silver Springs Road” and noted the city’s 20‑inch main on the western side of Thompson Lane can better serve the project’s fire‑protection needs than the CUD’s existing 6‑inch line. “It will require a water main extension by the developer to provide water and fire protection,” she said, and added that the developer will pay for that extension.
The matter was also on the CUD board’s agenda for consideration, Valerie said, and the board approved the boundary amendment by voice vote after a motion and a second.
Why it matters: moving the parcel into the city’s service area shifts responsibility for long‑term supply and fire‑flow capacity to the city and requires a developer‑funded extension of the distribution main. The board noted that the CUD is concurrently reviewing the same request and that the city’s infrastructure will provide better fire protection for the new lots.
Next steps: the item will proceed through the CUD review and any required permitting and construction phases once easements and the main extension design are finalized.
