RE: Project: PDP170006 East Ridge Third Filing PDP – Type 1: 2nd Round of Review
The East Larimer County Water District (District) staff has reviewed material delivered to the
District for the proposed project referenced above and has the following comments:
1. Utility Plans:
a. Water Meters in Private Drives: For the final review phase the District will
need to see a proposed typical layout of the water services in the private
drives that will feed the properties to verify appropriate water meter locations.
b. Sheet UT04 – Irrigation Tap: The District highly recommends the location of
the irrigation tap (if one is to be installed) be identified during final design
phase. This will prevent issues frequently seen when the irrigation tap is not
located and connected until after paving work is completed.
c. Sheet UT04 – Backflow Preventer: A reduced pressure zone (RPZ) type
backflow preventer will be required for the water service to the pool/clubhouse
facility.
d. Water Service Line Size: For the attached single family residence buildings,
the District has recently been informed that current fire code dictates these
units have sprinklers installed within them and that a ¾” water service line
may not be of adequate size for fire flow capacity. The District encourages the
developer to identify the service line (and meter) size required for these units
during the final design phase and show this sizing on the final design
drawings.
2. Plat:
a. District Signature Block on Sheet 1: Remove
b. Waterline Easements: Waterline easements will be required to be granted
before the plat is recorded for areas within Tracts B and F where the
waterlines are in private drives. The District plans to work with the developer
to secure these easements. Redlines concerning needed waterline easements
have sent to the project engineer (Galloway).
3. Water Rights: The District encourages the developer to contact the District
General Manager to begin discussions on raw water dedication for the project.

Any written agreements required to complete waterline connections to the property must be
completed prior to final approval of the project construction drawings.
