Appendix 3. Design Requirements for Water and Wastewater Extensions
A. General.
1. Purpose. The purpose of these design standards is to provide engineers, designers, draftsmen, inspectors, and others with a reference to City of Redmond’s requirements for the design and installation of improvements to the water and sewer systems. No extension or modifications to the City’s utility system shall be made without the approval of construction drawings prepared in accordance with these standards.
The design standards included herein are intended to result in utility systems which will:
a. Provide the needed source, storage, and distribution facilities system to maintain desirable levels of service during periods of maximum use.
b. Provide the needed sewer facilities to carry all anticipated sewage flows within a basin.
c. Conform to the City’s Water System Plan and General Sewer Plan.
d. Be of material strong enough to resist all expected loads, both internal and external, in order to preserve the purity and potability of the water supply, and protect ground and surface waters from the escape of wastewater.
e. Be safe and economical to maintain. Alternate materials and methods will be considered for approval on the basis of these objectives and conformance to all requirements indicated elsewhere in these standards.
