Design Manual 

The Private Development Design Manual(PDF, 1MB) for Water & Wastewater Design Requirements ("Manual") is a technical resource to assist property owners, developers, professional engineers and other applicants establish minimum requirements for their construction and development projects. Use of the Manual does not assume approval of any plans, project, or other request. All plans for tie-ins to the City's Utilities water or wastewater infrastructure must be approved by the Private Development group in Utilities Engineering. 

The Utilities Department reserves the right to make adjustments or additional requirements for development plans or applications on a case-by-case after analysis and evaluation by our engineering team.
