20200916CDS Stoneridge to Staff 20-23.pdf

To whom it may concern,
This is the response to the second production request of case #SWS-W-20-01
i ;i+"iii ;:' i;i:i' i:#,;'i:; ' -*:" il**di,{iii##i
Request NO.20, 2L,22, and 23 allseem to be based around a statement in the application from page
one. The engineer that prepared our application misunderstood the intent of the issue. The word
"request" should not have been used in that aspect.
A 1 inch meter is industry standard from what I understand. Of the water stubs that I have uncovered
and connected here in Stoneridge, including the new construction taps, all have been 1 inch taps from
the water main. All service from the new houses are 1 inch as well. The houses in Stoneridge have
automatic sprinkler systems that require extra flow. lnstalling a 5/8 or % inch meter creates a restriction
that can affect this flow. As a small water district keeping things uniform helps with costs, less parts to
keep on hand. Also the 5/8 and% meter parts are not normally stocked by our local warehouses and
must be ordered. This can make it difficult to perform timely repairs.
The decision to use the coil meter setter (pfcbhh- 88-18-48-r-nl 1") and the 1" Metron Farnier meter
(13L52L71was decided on prior to my employment with Stoneridge. These are good quality products for
the customer and the district. By keeping things uniform and using available products allows us run a
leaner system and keep our costs down.
Thank you for your time
Steven Durbin
