CHAPTER 2Water Utility PoliciesThe Bellevue Water Utility has established several water system policies that govern variousfacets of utility operations. A listing of the seven policy categories, accompanied by a briefdescription of each, is provided below. The first six policy categories are grouped together andidentified in this chapter as General Policies. These policies are specific to Bellevue’s WaterUtility. The Financial Policies category comprises the other major policy group. The FinancialPolicies apply to the all three Bellevue utilities (water, wastewater, and storm drainage). .Customer Service. These policies define the level of service provided to utility customers aswell as public and private ownership and responsibility for water system components.Facility Abandonment. This policy specifies how to dispose of facilities that are identified forabandonment by the Utility.Fire Protection. These policies detail the Utility's responsibility for the system infrastructurethat provides fire flow. They include system requirements for new and existing construction andthe Utility's commitment to system improvements.Service Area. Service area policies concern the existing and ultimate service area boundariesand conditions for service extension within those boundaries.Water Quality. This policy explains the obligations of Cascade Water Alliance (Cascade),Seattle Public Utilities (SPU), Bellevue Water Utility, and the customer regarding water qualitystandards from supply to the point of use.Water Supply. These policies discuss the Utility's contractual commitment with Cascade,conservation as it affects supply, and the Utility's response during water supply shortages.Financial Policies. This category summarizes the Utility Department’s general financialpolicies, including those governing rate setting, development charges, capital improvementfinancing, and reserves.In addition to these policies, criteria and standards relating to the planning, design, construction,operation, and maintenance of the water system exist to establish consistency and to ensure thatadequate levels of service are provided throughout the system. Specific criteria and standardsrelating to storage volume, distribution system, pressure zones, pump stations, and systemoperations are subsequently described in Chapter 4.2-1
WATER SYSTEM POLICIES BACKGROUNDThese water system policies were originally developed in 1991 by a policy committee comprisedof representatives from the Department of Public Works and Utilities, the Bellevue FireDepartment, and the City of Medina. This policy committee met regularly to consider policyissues affecting development and operation of the water system. Other long-standing operationalpolicies, and all financial policies, were reviewed by utility management. A discussion of pertinentpolicy issues was included in the 1992 Bellevue Water Comprehensive Plan. The policieswere reviewed and updated by Utilities Department management prior to publication of allsubsequent water comprehensive plan updates. The policies (excluding the financial policies)were last reviewed, updated and approved by the Environmental Services Commission onDecember 2, 2004. The financial policies are reviewed, updated and approved separately aspart of each bi-annual budget.GENERAL POLICIESCustomer ServiceService Ownership/ResponsibilityThe Utility shall own and maintain the service line to the meter, the meter and setter, andthe meter box. The property owner shall own and maintain the service line and otherfacilities such as pressure reducing valves, pumps, or backflow prevention devices beyondthe meter. For unmetered connections (fire sprinklers), City ownership will cease at theconnection point to the water main.Discussion:The Utility uses meters on services to monitor and charge for water consumption. The Utilityneeds to control the meter to enforce payment and compliance with utility standards. The meteris normally located at the property line and provides a logical separation point between City andprivate ownership and responsibility. There are isolated existing instances where ownership ofthe line to the meter is private, under separate arrangement.A small portion of Bellevue’s water service area is within unincorporated King County.Bellevue’s franchise agreement with the County requires the City to assume certain obligations(at no expense to the County) for facilities connected to Bellevue’s system that are withinCounty road rights-of-way but which Bellevue does not own, including appurtenant facilitiesand service lines connecting Bellevue’s system to users. Those obligations include:• The City shall apply for, upon request and on behalf of the owner of the facilities, a Countyright-of-way construction permit for any repairs required for such facilities, provided such2-2
