Section 3- Application of Standards. The Minimum Design Standards are hereby
adopted and incorporated into this Ordinance by reference. Subject to the exceptions noted

that a utility shall adopt the Minimum Design Standards contained herein or higher standards,
provided such standards are not inconsistent with applicable land use plans.

replacement of facilities so long as no expansion of service are involved. However, if existing
facilities must be repaired or replaced to serve an expanded area, new construction shall meet
these minimum standards.

system planning requirements using land use designations for their service area, as prescribed in
the Kitsap County Comprehensive Plan, appropriate subarea plans, Zoning Code, City
Comprehensive Plans, and any related interlocal agreements. Such designation shall be identified
in the utility's water system plan, and shall be used to establish design requirements.
