Estimated time of completion is May 1991. 7. Do you have any plans for future additions, expansion, or further activity related to or connected with this proposal? If yes, explain. Interlocal agreements between the City of Tukwila and neighboring water purveyors may be required for efficient operation of water systems on a regional scale. Such agreements, if required, may pertain to emergency system interties and other items relating to water system operation and will be prepared in accordance with State Department of Health requirements and the recommendations of the SKYWAY Coordinated Water System Plan. 11 { [r [; \ij LIAR 27 1991 PLANNING DEPT. • • 8. List any environmental information you know about that has been prepared, or will be prepared, directly related to this proposal. The Water District No. 25 area was included in the Draft and Final Environmental Impact Statements prepared for the City of Tukwila's annexation of King County Fire District No. 1 in 1989. 9. Do you know whether applications are pending for governmental approvals of other proposals directly affecting the property covered by your proposal? If yes, explain: None Known. 10. List any government approvals or permits that will be needed for your proposal, if known. Not Applicable. 11. Give brief, complete description of your proposal, including the proposed uses and the size of the project and site. There are several questions later in this checklist that ask you to describe certain aspects of your proposal. You do not need to repeat those answers on this page. (Lead agencies may modify this form to include additional specific information on project description.) This proposal contemplates the dissolution of King County Water District No. 25 in accordance with RCW 35.13A and assumption of all District assets and responsibilities for service by the City of Tukwila. The District has initiated this proposal as a result of lack of personnel and capital to operate the system in accordance with State and County regulations. The SKYWAY Coordinated Water System Plan recognized the District's desire to dissolve and recommends dissolution of the District and future water service by others. Because the District is within the City of Tukwila, the City proposes takeover of the District's existing service connections as a means of insuring adequate water service is being provided to all areas of the City. 12. Location of the proposal. Give sufficient information for a person to understand the precise location of your proposed project, including a street address, if any, and section, township, and range, if known.

"iC'a:n: •• NOTICE OF INTENTION FOR DISSOLUTION OF KING COUNTY WATER DISTRICT NO. 25 AND ASSUMPTION BY THE CITY OF TUKWILA I. BACKGROUND/MAPS 1. King County Water District No. 25 initiated this proposal for dissolution by petitioning the City of Tukwila to assume water service responsibilities to its 497 existing water service connections. In response to that request, the City contracted the consulting firm of Horton Dennis & Associates to perform an engineering analysis of water service options to this area of the City. The analysis (see Exhibit F) revealed that the City's takeover of the District is in the best interests of the residents of that area and future provision of adequate utility service. The City has therefore elected to proceed with takeover of the District's assets and responsibilities in accordance with RCW Chapter 35.13A (Water or Sewer Districts - Assumption of Jurisdiction). As indicated on Exhibit A -2, a small portion of the District's recorded legal boundary (8 of the District's approximate 500 acres) extends beyond the Tukwila city limits. All of the District's existing water services and facilities, however, are within the Tukwila limits. Those areas which are within the District but outside of the City of Tukwila are adequately served by the City of Seattle. This proposal does not propose takeover of any services adequately provided by purveyors other than Water District No. 25 and is only for the dissolution of the District and assumption of water services currently provided by Water District No. 25. The District currently purchases the majority of its water supply from the City of Tukwila through existing transmission facilities in the Allentown area, and has entered into a contract with the City to provide emergency and maintenance services to the District's existing facilities (Exhibit B -2). This contract was necessitated by the District's lack of personnel to provide even basic repair and maintenance tasks. Water supply to the Empire Hill area of the District is provided through a metered connection to the City of Seattle system near Beacon Avenue South. 1 Dissolution of the Water District is supported by the recommendations of the SKYWAY Coordinated Water System Plan. As illustrated in Exhibit E -1 the SKYWAY Coordinated Water System Plan recommends that responsibility for service to some portions of Water District No. 25 be by other purveyors. Specifically, the area west of the Duwamish River is recommended for service by King County Water District No. 125, while the area east of Interstate Highway 5 is recommended for service by the City of Seattle. Additional interlocal agreements with neighboring water purveyors will be negotiated in accordance with the SKYWAY Coordinated Water System Plan and the provisions of the Public Water System Coordination Act. Exhibit E -2 documents the City of Tukwila's intentions for such negotiations. Service to the Water District area by the City of Tukwila was addressed and recommended by the Draft and Final Impact Statements prepared when the City of Tukwila annexed Water District No. 25 as part of its 1989 annexation of King County Fire District No. 1. The City of Tukwila has worked closely with the residents of Water District No. 25 throughout consideration of the District's request for takeover. In addition to making the Water District No. 25 Supplemental Engineering Study available for public review, two public meetings have been held in order to explain the dissolution process, resulting rate increases and proposed improvements to the existing water system. The first public meeting was held with a local community group (Duwamish Improvements Club) and was attended by more than 50 Water District No. 25 customers. These customers seemed to both recognize the need for such action and support future improvements to the area. No negative comments were received. A public information letter concerning this proposal was mailed to each customer on the Water District No. 25 system. A copy of this letter is included as Attachment E -4 of this submittal. As noted therein, this letter explained the proposal for dissolution and takeover, and invited customers to the second public meeting concerning water system issues. 2. Documentation of the Water District's request to the City of Tukwila for takeover of the District, along with the existing and draft agreements between the District and the City are included as Exhibits B -1 through B -3 . The City's ordinance authorizing the actual takeover of territory and responsibilities is contingent on the acceptance of this proposal 2 by the King County Boundary Review Board and the King County Superior Court in accordance with RCW 36.93 and 35.13A. A draft of this ordinance is also included as Exhibit B-4. 3. The required SEPA Checklist and subsequent Declaration of Non - Significance is included in this submittal as Part IV. As indicated on the Determination of Nonsignificance, the comment period for the environmental checklist closes on 4. The legal description for King County Water District No. 25 as on file with the King County Department of Public Works is included as Attachment C -1 to this submittal. 5. The following maps have been assembled for the purpose of this Notice of Intention and are included herein as referenced: Exhibits A -1 through A -5 Exhibit D Maps 1 -7 Vicinity Maps as required to show information requested by the KCBRB, such as important physical features, environmentally sensitive areas and land use and zoning information.

II. FACTORS FOR CONSIDERATION 1. Overview King County Water District No. 25 is approximately 500 acres of territory in the Allentown, Foster Point and Empire Hill areas of the City of Tukwila, as indicated on Exhibit A -2. A. Population The District currently serves 485 single family residential connections and 12 commercial /industrial accounts. The majority of the District is within U.S. Census Tract No. 263, which, based on the Puget Sound Council of Governments' 3 Population and Housing Estimates. April. 1988, has an estimated household size of 2.08 persons. Multiplying the 485 residential connections by the average household size results in an estimated current population of 1009 people. The estimated existing population of the City of Tukwila is 14,631 people, this figure includes the approximately 1009 residents of King County Water District No. 25. Therefore, the residents of the District constitute approximately 7% of the City's total population. B. Territory There are approximately 500 acres within the boundaries of King County Water District No. 25. This area includes the Interstate 5 and Burlington Northern Railroad right -of -ways and the Duwamish River through the area. All but approximately 8 acres of the total area are within the City of Tukwila. The area outside of the City of Tukwila is currently served by the City of Seattle and this proposal does not propose takeover of those connections. C. Population Density Based on the above presented estimated population of 1009 people within the District and the total area size of 500 acres, the estimated population density for the area is 2.02 persons per acre. D. Assessed Valuation Total assessed valuation of the property within the District is $41,090,180.00. 2. Land Use A. Existing Land Use in the study area is primarily single family residential, with the exception of a few commercial and industrial uses. Commercial /industrial uses are limited to Burlington Northern Railroad operations along and just west of the railroad tracks, Union Tank Works operations at the intersection of 44th Place South and 46th Avenue South, and a neighborhood grocery at the intersection of 43rd Avenue South and South 124th Street. 4 B. Proposed Zoning in the area is consistent with existing land use patterns, with the majority of the area zoned low density residential (R- 1 -7.2). Manufacturing zoning (M -2) is limited to the area just west of the railroad right -of -way, the Union Tank Works site and the property north and east of the intersection of East Marginal Way and South 115th Street. Commercial and multi family zoning occur along South 116th Street. Detailed land use and zoning information can be obtained from the City of Tukwila Department of Community Development. Zoning information is displayed on Exhibit A-4 and Exhibit A -5 shows Tukwila Comprehensive Plan designations for the area. 3. Comprehensive Plans/Franchises A. King County Comprehensive Plan/Ordinances 1) The area proposed for annexation is entirely within the City of Tukwila. 2) The below listed County Ordinances have been reviewed for potential impact on the proposed annexation: a) K.C. Code 13.24: Sewer and Water Comprehensive Plan. This proposal is for dissolution of an existing water district and subsequent takeover of water service responsibilities by a City. Water District No. 25 does not have a current Comprehensive Water System Plan and is therefore in violation of K. C. C. 13.24. The District did, however, adopt the SKYWAY Coordinated Water System Plan, which addresses regional water system issues and recommends dissolution of the District and takeover of service responsibilities by others. The City of Tukwila is in the process of updating its Comprehensive Water System Plan. In addition, a separate engineering report has been prepared to address the specific issues pertaining to provision of water service to the Water District No. 25 area of the City. This report will be included as an Appendix to the City's Comprehensive Water System Plan and has been presented to the residents of the Water District No. 25 area. All such discussions have indicated that the residents are in favor of the proposed dissolution and takeover. In addition, the engineering report has been reviewed by the State Department of Health and deemed consistent with 5 their planning requirements and the SKYWAY Coordinated Water System Plan. 3) SKYWAY Coordinated Water System Plan. As mentioned above, the SKYWAY Coordinated Water System Plan addresses water service to the Water District No. 25 area. This plan was adopted by King County, the City of Tukwila, Water District No. 25, the City of Seattle and other purveyors in the Skyway area. The plan recommends dissolution of Water District No. 25 with service to be provided by others. This proposal is consistent with that recommendation, although additional negotiation between the City of Tukwila and City of Seattle as well as King County Water District No. 125 will be required in order to fulfill all recommendations concerning the City's service area. As indicated in Exhibit E -2, the City of Tukwila has initiated these regulations. B. Proponent's Comprehensive Plan/Franchise 1) Tukwila Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan. The Tukwila Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan Designations for Water District No. 25 are indicated on Exhibit A -5. In general, the plan shows Heavy Industrial, Light Industrial and Low Density Residential for the Water District No. 25 area. A Parks and Open Space designation is along the Duwamish River shoreline and at Allentown Park. The Comprehensive Plan also indicates the Duwamish River shoreline as an area for special development considerations. The Comprehensive Policy Plan also identifies the City's "infrastructure", or the man made service and support systems, including water utilities, as necessary for the functioning of an urban development. The Comprehensive Policy Plan asserts two objectives concerning water utilities: Objective 1. Provide efficient and adequate water supply to residents and businesses of the City; and Objective 2. Provided water utility systems which promote planned land use development patterns. Furthermore, the City specifies a policy that is particularly relevant to the takeover of Water District No. 25: Policy 3. The City should decide whether to take over the administration of a water district on a case -by -case basis. This proposal is consistent with these policies. 3) Franchises - The District does not have a franchise to operate facilities in either City of Tukwila or King County right -of -ways. 4) Zoning of the area is under the jurisdiction of the City of Tukwila and is shown on Exhibit A -4. Zoning designation of the area appears to be in compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan Designation. 5) Sensitive Areas. The City has identified several areas within Water District No. 25 as "slopes greater than 15% " and on wetland area as indicated on Exhibit A -3. In general the sloped areas north of the South 115th Street between Puget Sound Power and Light right -of -way and the Burlington Northern right -of -way. Steep slopes are also indicated in the pocket of land east of Interstate 5 near South 114th Street. A wetland is shown near Interstate 5 and South 129th Street. Although this proposal does not affect these designations, any future work in these areas must be accomplished in accordance with the City's requirements associated with sensitive areas. 4. Planning Data A. Revenues/Expenditures Not Applicable. B. Services 1) Water a) Service: All existing Water District No. 25 facilities and existing service connections are to be transferred to the City of Tukwila as part of this proposal. 7 b) Storage Locations and Capacity: The City of Tukwila water system includes 2 million gallons of storage located in the North Hill area of the City. c) Mains to Serve to Area (Size and Location): Existing Water District No. 25 facilities are detailed in Exhibit F to this submittal. Facilities generally consists of 2 and 4 -inch water lines which are fed by the District's connection to the City of Tukwila water system in the area. This connection is fed by the City of Tukwila's metered connection to the City of Seattle system a South 112th Street near the west edge of the Burlington Northern Railroad right -of -way. Proposed upgrades to the currently inadequate water system are also presented in Exhibit F. These proposed improvements generally include replacement of all existing facilities within the area to meet City of Tukwila minimum design and construction standards. d) Pressure Station Location and Measured Flow: Water District No. 25 purchases its water supply for the main and Foster Point areas from the City of Tukwila through a Pressure Reducing Valve on South 116th Street. Estimated pressure out of this valve is 80 psi under normal operating conditions. Pressures in the Empire Hill area are directly dependent on operation of the City of Seattle Cedar River Pipelines and are between the acceptable range of 40-85 psi. e) Capacity Available: Flows of approximately 1000 gpm are currently available in the portions of the District which are adjacent to the source in the main portion of the District, but drop off quickly as the distance from the source increases. On streets with 4 -inch lies, the maximumfow available is 350 gpm and 2 -inch mains and standpipes are limited to less than 100 gpm. Fire flows through the Water District 25 system can be categorized as insufficient, as documented in Exhibit F. f) Water Source: City of Seattle via City of Tukwila facilities. g) Financing of Proposed Service: As documented in Exhibit F, transfer of services to the City of Tukwila will result in current Water District No. 25 customers paying increased rates. The City has elected to dedicate an amount equal to the difference between Water District No. 25 rates and the City of Tukwila rates to system improvements in the area. In that recommended improvements are significantly greater than the amount projected from this source, additional revenues will be required. Upon takeover by the City, these improvements will be listed in the City of Tukwila's Capital Improvement Program. Financing options such as Public Works Trust Funding and other grants and loans will be investigated. 2) Sewer a) Service: Not Applicable. b) Mains to Service Area (Size and Location): Not Applicable. c) Gravity or Lift Station Required: Not Applicable. d) Disposal: Not Applicable. e) Capacity Available: Not Applicable. 3) Fire Service a) Nearest Fire Station: City of Tukwila Fire Station No. 53 12026 42nd Avenue South Tukwila, Washington b) Response Time: Less than 10 Minutes. c) Are they fully manned? How many full and part time personnel? There are fifteen full time employees at Fire Station 53, five on each of three shifts per day. d) Major equipment at station location (type and # of vehicles): 1 Fire Engine and 1 Aid Unit. e) How many fully certified EMT/D -Fib Personnel: 15 (5 per shift) 0 Applicable Fire Rating: 3. g) Source of Dispatch: Valley Communications (911) 5. General A. This proposal for dissolution and takeover of water service responsibilities has been documented by the Draft agreement contained in Exhibit B -4. Consummation of this agreement is anticipated during the 45 day review period associated with this proposal. 9 B. In general, the Allentown and Foster Point areas are flat, with the Duwamish river flowing though the area as indicated on Exhibit A -2. The Empire Hill area east of Interstate 5 is characterized by steep slopes. C. As indicated by the City of Tukwila Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan, land use in the area is expected to remain low density single family, with industrial uses limited to the area near the railroad right -of -way. Vacant land in the area is limited to designated recreation areas. Little growth is anticipated under the Existing Land Use Policy Plan. D. This proposal is only relevant to water service. E. Provision of water service by the City of Tukwila will occur immediately upon dissolution of the District. F. As documented in Exhibit F, Water District No. 25 Supplemental Engineering Study, the existing Water District No. 25 system is characterized by aged and leaking lines with insufficient fire flows to meet health and safety needs. The District does not have a certified water operator or maintenance /emergency personnel and is generally incapable of operation as a water utility. Takeover of the District by the City of Tukwila will result in increased rates to Water District No. 25 customers. The City has elected to dedicate an amount equal to the difference between Water District No. 25 rates and City water rates towards improvements in the Water District No. 25 system. III. OBJECTIVES The objective of this proposal is to provide adequate water service in accordance with the requirements, standards and regulations of the State of Washington Department of Health, King County, the City of Tukwila and the SKYWAY Coordinated Water System Plan. King County Water District No. 25 is financially and managerially incapable of pelforming the improvements necessary to meet minimum standards for water systems in the State of Washington. Takeover of water service responsibilities is an attempt to meet the City of Tukwila's objective of providing adequate service to all residents of the City. 10 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 DI.

Such agreements, if required, may pertain to emergency system interties and other items relating to water system operation and will be prepared in accordance with State Department of Health requirements and the recommendations of the SKYWAY Coordinated Water System Plan. 11 8. List any environmental information you know about that has been prepared, or will be prepared, directly related to this proposal. The Water District No. 25 area was included in the Draft and Final Environmental Impact Statements prepared for the City of Tukwila's annexation of King County Fire District No. 1 in 1989. 9. Do you know whether applications are pending for governmental approvals of other proposals directly affecting the property covered by your proposal? If yes, explain: None Known. 10. List any government approvals or permits that will be needed for your proposal, if known. Not Applicable. 11. Give brief, complete description of your proposal, including the proposed uses and the size of the project and site. There are several questions later in this checklist that ask you to describe certain aspects of your proposal. You do not need to repeat those answers on this page. (Lead agencies may modify this form to include additional specific information on project description.) This proposal contemplates the dissolution of King County Water District No. 25 in accordance with RCW 35.13A and assumption of all District assets and responsibilities for service by the City of Tukwila. The District has initiated this proposal as a result of lack of personnel and capital to operate the system in accordance with State and County regulations. The SKYWAY Coordinated Water System Plan recognized the District's desire to dissolve and recommends dissolution of the District and future water service by others. Because the District is within the City of Tukwila, the City proposes takeover of the District's existing service connections as a means of insuring adequate water service is being provided to all areas of the City. 12.

EXHIBIT D - KING COUNTY ASSESSOR MAPS EXHIBIT E - OTHER SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION SKYWAY COORDINATED WATER SYSTEM PLAN NOVEMBER 1988 EXHIBIT E -1 King County Parks, Planning and Resources Department Building & Land Development Division VI ALTERNATIVES AND RECOMMENDATIONS A. GOALS In developing a recommended Plan for SKYWAY Critical Water Supply Service Area, a variety of general concepts and specific issues were considered. The goals for this effort were established by the findings outlined in previous chapters and are generally summarized as follows: 1. Establish a plan for logical changes to existing service areas based on existing systems, hydraulic conditions, legal and franchise boundaries, "sphere of influence" planning areas, and existing and projected population and land uses; subject to meeting the requirements of Title 57, RCW and Chapter 36.93; RCW as appropriate. 2. Provide necessary facilities to meet the Minimum Design Standards (Part V) and correct area wide deficiencies. No attempt was made to identify localized deficiencies such as insufficient distribution, pipe sizes, local areas of high and low pressure, etc. except as they might relate to the area as a whole. These individual deficiencies should be addressed in each purveyor's Comprehensive Plan. B. OBJECTIVES Members of the SKYWAY WUCC identified the following objectives to be used in selecting an Alternative: 1. Provide logical and continuous boundaries for existing water systems; 2. Provide storage to all customers; 3. Maximize existing facilities; 4. Provide at least 40 psi static pressure; 5. Provide adequate fire flows; 6. Avoid duplication of facilities; 7. Minimize dead ends; 8. Maximize backup sources and interties; 9. Establish equitable allocation of traded assets; 10. Achieve all of the above in the most cost effective way possible to minimize impact on rates. C SERVICE AREA RECOMMENDATIONS Plate VI -1 presents the WUCC recommendations for changes to existing service areas within the SKYWAY CWSSA. This recommendation evolved after careful consideration of many alternatives, some of which are presented later in this Part. Please refer to PART VII - FINANCING AND IMPLEMENTATION for procedural recommendations for achieving the service area recommendations shown on Plate VI -1 and listed below. - The merging of Lakeridge Water District and Water District No. 14 is proposed to form the Bryn Mawr - Lakeridge Water and Sewer District. Source of supply and storage to the area would be by the existing Water District No. 14 facilities and Renton West Hill Joint Use Facilities. Additional emergency interties with Seattle and Renton are required to reduce the total amount of storage required and to provide adequate fire flows as defined by the Minimum Design Standards. - Although Water District No. 57 could logically be included in this merged Bryn Mawr - Lakeridge District, the voters of that area have selected to receive direct service from the City of Seattle. - Expansion of the City of Seattle service area is proposed to include all of the Skyway Water District and those Water District No. 125, City of Tukwila and Water District No. 25 customers which are east of the railroad right -of -way. It is also recommended that Creston Water Association customers be connected to existing Seattle facilities. This expanded Seattle service area would be served by interconnecting the various existing systems in the area and construction of a new storage facility. Takeover of these areas is subject to the approval of voters and each purveyor will be required to upgrade facilities to City of Seattle standards. PLATE VI-1 RECOMMENDED SERVICE AREA BOUNDARIES. t_t % ••• 7. AREA TO BE SERVED BY - RENTON IF ANNEXED - The area south of Empire Way South (in the vicinity of the abandoned Black River Quarry) is recommended for inclusion in the City of Renton's service area. The City of Seattle currently has a few customers south of Empire Way in this area but the remainder of the area is undeveloped. As such, facilities required to serve this area will be designed and installed as development occurs. This area is included in the City of Tukwila's Fire District No. 1 annexation proposal but Tukwila does not intend to serve east of the railroad right -of -way. - The shaded area north of Empire Way South is currently served by the City of Seattle and is outside of any purveyors legal boundaries. When and if this area is annexed to the City of Renton, it should be included in their service area. This will necessitate transfer of facilities and customers from the City of Seattle to Renton. This recommendation proposes that City of Tukwila serve Water District No. 25 and Water District No. 125 customers west of railroad right -of -way (with exception as noted west of the Duwamish River - to be transferred from Water District No. 25 to Water District No. 125). This will include transfer of Water District No. 125 customers and facilities east of Interstate Highway 5 and west of Interurban Avenue South. If a proposed Tukwila annexation of Fire District No. 1 is approved, Water District No. 25's service area will lie within Tukwila's City limits and therefore the City can provide direct service to area as shown. If the proposed Tukwila annexation is not approved, Water District No. 25 and Tukwila should negotiate an agreement for either Tukwila takeover of Water District No. 25's facilities between the Duwamish and I -5 or intertie with the Tukwila system (by interlocal agreement) to provide storage via proposed Tukwila r4 2 MG reservoir facility. 11 - It is recommended that no new water systems be created within the SKYWAY CWSSA. This is based on the ability of existing systems to efficiently and effectively serve all property within the planning area.

Seattle Water Department 9th Floor Dexter Horton Bldg. 710 Second Avenue Seattle, WA 98104 PHONE # (206) 433.1800 RE: NOTICE OF INTENT TO TAKE -OVER WATER DISTRICT 25 PROJECT NO. 89 -WTO2 Dear Dave: Gary L. Van Dusen, Mayor This letter serves as our notification to take -over the exist- ing service area of Water District 25. The area was annexed to Tukwila in 1989. A copy of the letter from Water District 25 formally requesting take -over is attached along with the Dis- trict 25 Supplemental Engineering Study. Tukwila has contracted with Horton Dennis and Associates to help the City in accom- plishing the take -over. Of unique concern is a portion of Water District 25 which lies east of I -5 from S. 113th Street to Wallace. The Skyway Critical Water Plan specified that SWD would acquire this por- tion. All parties involved agreed that the lack of storage in the area, combined with existing City of Seattle and proposed regional facilities in the area, made it logical for Seattle to provide service to these customers. This was accomplished with full knowledge of the potential for future annexation of the area to Tukwila. It was anticipated that future adjustments could be made to the Skyway Plan as certain changes occurred. Since the Skyway CWSP was executed many circumstances have changed. The City of Tukwila recently contracted with Water District 25 for emergency services including repairs and line locates until the formal take -over is complete. It appears most expedient for Tukwila to take in all of District 25. The prac- ticality of Tukwila serving those areas east of I -5 should be considered in terms of also serving within Tukwila's boundary north to Ryan Way. Still, the provision for storage raises an issue which could be quite costly. Also it is difficult for Tukwila to administer the Skyway Minimum Design Standards to match the time frame planned by the City of Seattle's CIP. The area in question is intended to be served by the regional storage facility proposed for construction on the Skyway hill. Tukwila would need to have some participation in this facility in order to adequately serve customers east of I -5. Because of EXHIBIT E -2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 -2-- the considerations outlined above, Tukwila will serve either all or none of the area east of I -5. Service by Tukwila would require an ammendment to the Skyway CWSP. The Tukwila engineering staff would like to meet with you at your earliest convenience to discuss this matter. Please call me at 433 -0179 in order to set a convenient time. Sincere Ross garnet Public Works Director xc: Ted Freemire Ron Cameron .

The commissioners of Water District 25 have made a request to the City of Tukwila to assume responsibility of water services for District ratepayers. As a result, the City of Tukwila has started the acquisition process. 1 1 1 1 1 How will this be accomplished? The City and District will agree on the terms of transfer for the water system and District as- sets. Then a formal submittal is made to the King County Boundary Review Board which will require 45 days notice before approval. Once all approvals are received, the inventory and accounts must be verified and entered into the City's billing system. 1 What does this mean to me as a water customer? WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTSI Tukwila has prepared a plan for water line replacements in the major streets. Replacements will meet current water standards and fire flow require- ments. Fire hydrants will be added to improve fire protection. Soon Tukwila will add fire hydrants along an existing 18 -inch waterline on 42nd Avenue South. The City and District have already executed an agreement which allows the City to perform emergency repairs and line locations within 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 the District. Emergency problems in the public water system can be reported to: City Maintenance — 433 -1860 Hours: 7:30 -3:30 weekdays Tukwila Police Dept. — 433 -1808 After hours & weekends What will it cost? It is anticipated that water construction proj- ects will be phased over a period of years with cost estimates specifically detailed in the "Water District 25 Takeover Study". The Takeover Study can be viewed at any time during regular business hours at the Tukwila Public Works engineering reception counter, 6300 Southcen- ter Boulevard (phone, 433-0179) . The source of funds may consist of a Public Works trust fund loan, grants, and /or rates. District 25 customers currently pay $16.00 per 1,800 cubic feet bimonthly. Tukwila bills every month and has summer and winter rates as well as rates for those qualifying under low income. The current rate comparison based on 1,000 cubic feet per connection per month pro- rated is as follows: Estimated ave. Tukwila winter rate /month $14.33 Estimated Water District 25 rate /month 12.20 Net rate difference /month: $ 2.13 You are invited to attend a Public Meeting in the City Council Chambers at Tukwila City Hall, 6200 Southcenter Boulevard, on Thursday, March 14, 1991, at 7:00 P.M. After the Presentation, Tukwila staff will be available to answer your questions. EXHIBIT E -4
