WORKSHOP
To: Board of Directors
From: Ed Taylor
Date: December 17, 2008
Subject: Discussion of Revisions to District Code- Title 6, Water Service
1. WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD
The District Code should periodically be reviewed and updated to conform to District
Board policies, new applicable laws, regulations and District procedures.
2. HISTORY
Title 6 Water Service has not been revised in many years. It is a compilation of
resolutions, ordinances, minute orders, management directives and memos from 1970
and prior to 2007.
3. NEW INFORMATION
There have been many proposed revisions to the Code including format changes,
clarification of wording and in some cases changes to the policies and procedures.
Many of the changes reflect removal of construction standard information from the
Code as these reside in a stand-alone Construction Standard Manual.
Attached are three documents for your review:
1) Highlights of the major changes;
2) A draft version of Title 6 incorporating all of the proposed revisions; and
3) A redline copy comparing the proposed changes to the original text
4. FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with the proposed revisions to Title 6.
5. RECOMMENDATION
R e the pro ed policy revisions and provide staff with comments.

6.18.010.2 The District at its option may require such applicant to install water distribution facilities
with more capacity, of greater length, or of a different route than would be required for the service
requested (hereafter"excess facilities"). In such event,the District may reimburse the applicant for

adjacent properties connecting to the main extension, installed by the applicant, will be required to
reimburse the applicant,through the District,for a prorated share of the main extension cost. Such
reimbursement shall be as outlined below:
1. The reimbursement clause of the Development Agreement shall remain in effect for a period
of ten years from the date the facilities are accepted by the District.
2. The amount eligible for reimbursement shall be dependant upon the number of parcels in
existence and the number of equivalent dwelling units as determined from the appropriate
General Plan Land Use Map at the time the Development Agreement is signed. If parcels
are later subdivided, rezoned or change in usage, the applicant shall not be eligible for
reimbursement amounts above that outlined in the Development Agreement. A map
outlining the parcels potentially subject for reimbursement shall be included in the
Development Agreement.
3. The District shall notify the owners of the parcels encompassed in the reimbursement clause
that reimbursement will be required before water service can be provided to those parcels.
Such notification shall be by USPS Certified Mail.

costs related to telephone, cable television, natural gas, roadways or other
utilities and improvements shall not be eligible for reimbursement through the
District.
• Actual costs charged to the Developer by the District for the inspection and
testing of the water system facilities.
• In the case of an underground trench containing only water facilities, the entire
construction cost of the installed facilities shall be eligible. In the case of a joint
trench containing other utilities (electric, gas, telephone, cable TV, etc.), an
allowance per linear foot of trench shall be used.
6. The applicant shall provide invoices, receipts, itemized bills or similar documentation to the
District as proof of the actual cost of the facilities installed. Pre-construction bids from
contractors shall not fulfill this requirement.
7. The District shall review the cost documentation submitted by the applicant. If,in the opinion
of the District,the costs are higher than those considered reasonable and customary for the
type of work performed. The District may reduce amount eligible for reimbursement to that
considered reasonable and customary. Decisions made by the applicant to fast-track
construction, pay overtime and/or perform construction at the end of the construction season
shall not obligate the District to include any such additional costs incurred by the applicant in
the total eligible for reimbursement.
8. Upon completion of the construction and review of the cost documentation submitted by the
applicant, the District shall provide final documentation to the applicant of the total amount
eligible for reimbursement.
9. No adjustments to the amount eligible for reimbursement shall be made for the effects of
inflation (or deflation).
10. When subsequent parties that owe money through reimbursement, request service from the
District, the amount owed shall be paid to the District. The District shall then pay the
appropriate amount to the individuals who are the owners of record of the project APN on

6.56.010 Purpose—The purpose of this policy is to:
1. Protect the Truckee Donner Public Utility District's (District's)potable water supply from
the possibility of contamination or pollution by isolating within the customer's internal
distribution system(s) or the customer's private water system(s) any contaminants or
pollutants which could backflow into the public water systems.
2. Promote the elimination or control of existing cross-connections, actual or potential,
between the customer's in-plant potable water system and non-potable water system,
plumbing fixtures and industrial piping systems.
3. Provide for the maintenance of a continuing program of cross-connection control which
will systematically and effectively prevent the contamination or pollution of all potable
water systems.
4.The District shall have a backflow prevention and cross-connection control program which
meets or exceeds all State and Federal rules and regulations.
6.56.020 District Responsibilities - The District shall be responsible for the protection of the
public potable water distribution system from contamination or pollution due to the backflow of
contaminants or pollutants through the water service connection. It is the responsibility of the
District to evaluate the hazards beyond the service connection in a customer's water system to
determine whether pollutants or contaminants are,or may be, handled on the customer's premises
in such a manner as to possibly permit contamination of the public water system. The District has
the right to discontinue service to any customer whose water system may potentially harm the public
water system.
When a hazard or potential hazard to the public water system is found or suspected,the customer
shall be required to install an approved backflow prevention assembly at each public water service
connection to the premises in accordance with District rules and regulations. The District shall not
be responsible for any loss or damage directly or indirectly resulting from or caused by the proper,
improper or negligent installation,operations, use, repair or maintenance of,or interfering with,any
protective device by any customer or any other person.
6.56.030 Customer Responsibilities -
6.56.030.1 The Customer shall be required to furnish and install, in a manner approved by the
District, and keep in good working order and safe condition, any and all backflow prevention
assemblies. All backflow prevention assemblies shall be owned and maintained by the customer.
6.56.030.2 All backflow prevention assemblies shall be tested at the time of installation and
annually thereafter. In the event of high hazard installations,the District may require more frequent
testing. Backflow prevention assemblies shall be tested by a certified backflow prevention assembly
tester and test reports shall be submitted to the District.
6.56.030.3 In the event that a backflow prevention assembly is found to be damaged,defective or
operating improperly, it shall be repaired or replaced by the Customer.

6.56.030.5 The Customer is to maintain an adequate heat source to any backflow prevention
assembly housings in order to prevent cold weather from affecting the operation of the assembly.
6.56.030.6 Once notified of the need to install a backflow prevention assembly,the customer shall
immediately install such approved assembly at the customer's own expense. Failure, refusal or
inability on the part of the customer to install, have tested and maintain said assembly shall
constitute sufficient grounds for discontinuing water service to the premises until such requirements
have been satisfactorily met.
6.56.040 Protective Devices Required - The protection required to prevent backflow into the
public water system shall be commensurate with the degree of hazard that exists on the customer's
premises. The District shall determine the type of backflow prevention assembly.
6.56.050 Testing and Maintenance-All backflow prevention assemblies shall be tested annually
to assure proper operation. In instances where a hazard is deemed great enough, testing may be
required at more frequent intervals. Such intervals shall be determined by the District. The
customer shall bear all costs of device testing. The cost of any maintenance required as a result of
inspections or testing is the responsibility of the customer. Maintenance work shall be performed by
private contract. Records of inspections, testing or repairs shall be kept by the District and made
available to the appropriate regulatory agencies.
The District shall notify the customer when tests are required and supply the necessary test forms
and instructions. These forms will be completed by the certified backflow-prevention tester and
returned to the District by the date indicated.
If a device is found to be in non-compliance by inspection and/or testing, the customer shall be
notified in writing. The customer shall correct any deficiency within 15 calendar days of notification,
at which time the inspection shall be repeated. The District shall cause discontinuance of water
service if a backflow prevention device has failed to be tested properly or properly maintained or
installed. Notification of intent to terminate water service shall be commensurate with the hazard to
public health and may be delivered to the tenant, owner, or both as the situation requires.
6.56.060 Fees and Charges Backflow prevention devices shall be subject to fees and charges to
allow the District to recover the costs of administering the backflow prevention program. Such fees
and charges shall be posted in a schedule approved by the District's Board of Director's.
