The District requires the submittal of an Application for Concept/Planning Review  when the District’s existing water and/or wastewater systems must be expanded to provide new customer service.

The purpose of the Concept/Planning Review is to evaluate the overall project concept and to determine the feasibility of service. A description of the project, review fees and environmental documentation deposit are to be included with the Application. If the project is not feasible, the environmental documentation deposit will be returned.

A project Design Report will be required, unless the project is not complex or will not be a significantly impact. The purpose of the Design Report is to generate an understanding between the Owner and the District on what water and/or wastewater Improvement System the Owner must construct prior to receiving service. The Design Report will be then incorporated into the Facility Agreement by reference. 

The Design Report shall conform to these STANDARDS. The Design Report is to be prepared by and stamped by a California registered engineer. Concept/Planning Approval will not be given until the District Engineer has approved the Design Report.
