RE: “Will Serve” letter for Potable Water Service to APN 040‐280‐109
San Rafael Court
Dear Mr. Symmes,
This is to inform you that the above‐referenced real property lies within the Durham Irrigation District's
current boundaries.
Water service by the District to this project will be provided contingent upon compliance with all rules,
regulations, policies, resolutions, fees, and specifications that are in effect at the time connection to the
District’s water system is requested and any payment by the applicant of all fees and costs incurred by
the District in connection therewith. In particular, the District calls your attention to its policy requiring a
backflow device for buildings that have fire sprinkler systems and the requirement that such devices be
tested annually.
The District requires receipt of the following, as applicable:
1. Final maps for the real property or use permit applications, as the case may be;
2. Payment of the applicable connection fee for a 1” meter ($9,617.00 per attached Appendix A –
Rates, Fees and Charges updated January 19, 2021); and,
3. Review and acceptance of completed water system improvements whether on‐site or off‐site and
which are associated with this property.
Connection of water service as provided in a Will Serve Letter shall be contingent upon the District, at the
time of request for connection, having sufficient water and shall further be contingent upon the District
having sufficient treatment and delivery capacity to comply with all laws and regulations concerning the
delivery of domestic water. All District commitments to deliver water shall, during water supply shortage
conditions, be subject to the provisions of the then‐current District Water Shortage Contingency Plan
and/or Adopted Water Shortage Emergency Measures. The District calls your attention to its policy that
a backflow device is required for buildings that have fire sprinkler systems and that such devices be tested
annually (Appendix A).
