ESTABLISHING STANDARDS FOR SUBDIVISION WATER SYSTEMS

within the County of Kauai

and Providing Penalties for the Violations Thereof

SECTION X - MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS,

INSTALLATION OF WATER SERVICE, INSPECTION OF WORK

1. Materials and Construction Standards. All materials, design and construction procedures, and workmanship, with respect to any subdivision water system, or any portion thereof shall be in accordance with the requirements of the “Standard Specifications for Waterworks Construction” of the Board of Water Supply, County of Kauai, dated 10/1/63 or as later amended and with the requirements of the State Department of Health and all applicable laws. The Manager and Chief Engineer shall determine the capacity and location of any of the component parts of the subdivision water system.

2. Installation of Water Service. No water service will be approved until the subdivision water system has been completed and accepted by the Department and the FRC has been paid to the Department. Service for subdivision construction purposes such as site work and roadways (excluding construction work for individual lots) may be approved.

3. Inspection of Work. The Manager and Chief Engineer or any employee representing him shall have free access at all times to all installations made for the subdivision and shall be given any assistance required and every facility, information and means of thoroughly inspecting the work to be done and the materials used or to be used.

SECTION XI - OWNERSHIP OF INSTALLED WATER SYSTEM

Before the Department will provide water service within the subdivision, the subdivider shall convey the subdivision water system to the Department and said subdivision water system thereafter will be maintained and operated as a part of the public water system; provided, however, that the Department may refuse to operate and maintain facilities installed without the Department’s prior approval. Prior to the commencement of water service, and as a prerequisite to such service, the subdivider shall also deliver to the Department perpetual easements for all portions of the subdivision water system installed in other than publicly owned property. The subdivider shall also convey to the Department fee simple title to all sites on which are located tanks, reservoirs, sources of supply, and pumps constructed by the subdivider and connected to the public water system together with easements for ingress and egress. The subdivider shall also convey to the Department a breakdown of costs of the subdivision water system on forms provided by the Department.

SECTION XII - MODIFICATION OF REQUIREMENTS

When conditions pertaining to any subdivision are such that the public may be properly served with water and with fire protection without full and strict compliance with these rules and regulations, or where the subdivision site or layout is such that the public interest will be adequately protected, such modification thereof as is reasonably necessary or expedient, and not contrary to law or the intent and purposes of these rules and regulations, may be made by the Department.
