INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Utilities Committee
FROM Bob Giberson Public Works Director
BY: Mike Cusick, Senior Program Manager
DATE: July 3, 2014
SUBJECT: Comprehensive Water Plan
Project No. 91040101, Contract No. 10-055
Resolution to Adopt 2013 Comprehensive Water Plan
ISSUE
Adopt by Resolution the 2013 Comprehensive Water Plan.
BACKGROUND
The City of Tukwila (City) hired Caro llo Engineers in 2010 to update our Water and Sewer
Comprehensive Plans. The Comprehensive Plans are updated to reflect changes in regulatory
requirements for water and sewer utilities within the City systems. The Comprehensive Water Plan
was last updated in 2005 and did not reflect changes in regulations required under the Washington
State Department of Health (DOH). The Comprehensive Plans also needed to be updated to
include completed Capital Improvement Projects and newly identified needs. After the City Council
passes a Resolution adopting the Comprehensive Water Plan, it will be submitted to DOH and King
County for approval.
DISCUSSION
The updated 2013 Comprehensive Water Plan contains the following overall changes:
• Provide a demographic analysis summarizing the population, employment, and land use
projections for the City.
• A map book was added showing a schematic of the water lines within the City's water system.
• New/revised list of recommended Capital Improvement Projects.
• Develop a series of maps showing fire water flows with the City's water system.
• Developed a funding strategy that will provide financial strength and viability for the City to
implement the schedule of capital improvements.
• Developed accurate flow projections for the water system to forecast future expansion needs.
• Describe and inventory the City's water distribution system.
The Comprehensive Water Plan is available on the City's website at
www.tukwilawa.qov/pubwks/water/2013ComprehensiveWaterPlan.pdf and on the Z drive in the 2013
Comprehensive Water Plan folder.
RECOMMENDATION
Council is being asked to adopt by Resolution the 2013 Comprehensive Water Plan and consider this
item on the Consent Agenda at the July 21, 2014 Regular Meeting.
