In support of the development and in order to ensure RPU protects the water quality provided to its customers, staff will perform all construction activities related to connection with the existing water system. This requires that staff install two 8-inch system connections, install 21 1-inch and one 2-inch water services and meters. RPU will also provide inspection for the 8-inch and 4-inch waterlines constructed by the developer's licensed contractor. On October 28, 2013, the developer paid the required fees and charges as set forth in Water Rules 10 and 11 in the amount of $183,903.23 of which, $47,211 is allocated towards the construction and inspection related services provided by RP U.
