Preliminary Utility Plans
1. Please explain how you intend to tap a 6" water line with an 8" water line. The 6"
water line you are proposing to tie into is approximately a 25-year-old cast iron water
line. We have problems with the cast iron water lines in the Northlake Woodlands
developments. We have recently just replaced a substantial amount of that water line
along Meadowcreek Road. I would strongly recommend that you install an 8" water
line on the east side of lot 6 all the way to Meadowcreek Road and connect to the new 8"
PVC water line on the south side of Meadowcreek Road. I am concerned that tying into
the 6" cast iron line that is 25 years old could be a source of problems once these homes
are developed.
When the final plans are submitted, there could be additional comments made on the
outfall of the stormdrain to the south. Without knowing the actual outfall velocity, it is
difficult to ascertain whether the pipe should be extended all the way to the
Meadowcreek Road storm sewer system.
