MOTION: Authorize the Mayor to approve a two-year extension request for
the Kent Water System Plan, subject to final terms and conditions
acceptable to the City Attorney and Public Works Director.
SUMMARY: The Water System Plan (Plan) is required to be developed by all
municipal water purveyors pursuant to guidelines and standards promulgated by
the Washington State Department of Health. The Plan will provide a detailed
overview of the Kent Water System including current storage needs, demand, and
conveyance capacity. It will describe future water system demand based on growth
predictions and will identify system improvements that may be necessary.
Public Works staff is currently working with a consultant to complete the 2018 Kent
Water System Plan. Due to the extensive data collection and modeling required as
part of preparing the Plan, we anticipate that the final plan will not be completed
until late 2018. At the request of the Washington State Department of Health, we
are submitting an official extension request.

Dear Mr. Rodriguez:
,rH[AND
On behalf of the City of Kent(City), RH2 Engineering, Inc., (RH2) is requesting a 2-year
TACOMA extension for the City's 2011 YGater.System Plan (WSP) approval. In 2011, the City's
WSP was approved for a 6-year term. Since then, there have not been any significant
changes that were not already documented in the 2011 WSP, and the projects and growth
presented in the current WSP are still accurate projections of the City's current planning
OREGON LOCATIONS efforts.
I'GRTLAhID SYSTEM CAPACITY
YI,IN OFFIU-
Demand
The City's annual water demand between 2011 and 2016 has been less than the projected
demand in the City's WSP for each corresponding year, both with and without savings
m�FDaD projected from the City's Water Use Efficiency program. Table I shows the difference
between the annual demand projections in the 2011 WSP, both with and without water use
efficiency (W UE), and the actual system demand for the years 2011 through 2016. The
projected demand volumes are taken from Table 3-9 and Table 3-10 of the 2011 WSP and
include an additional 6 percent to account for non-revenue water. Because the actual
2016 system demand is similar to the 2011 baseline demand projection used for analyses
in the 2011 WSP, many of the conclusions of the analyses performed for the year 2011 are
applicable to the year 2016.

Storage
'I able 7-7 of the 201 1 WSP presented the 529 West Service Area as the only area with a storage
deficiency in the 2008 planning period. The 2011 WSP also projected a storage deficiency in each of
the 529 West and 590 East Service Areas in the 2014 and 2028 planning periods. Because system
demands are significantly less than those projected in the 2011 WSP, the actual storage requirements are
lower than those calculated during the 2011 WSP. Specifically, the actual annual demand for 2016, as
shown in Table 1, is less than the projected demand for 2011, indicating that storage projects related to
growth could potentially be shifted as much as 5 years into the future.
The 2011 WSP recommended that a new 2.5 million gallon (MG) storage facility be constructed in the
529 West Service Area, and a new 3.5 MG storage facility be constructed in the 590 Fast Service Area.
A new 4.0 MG 640 Tank was constructed in 2011 to resolve the storage deficiency in the 590 East
Service Area. This tank is currently operated in the existing 590 Pressure Zone, but will be operated in
the 640 Pressure Zone when all facilities necessary for the pressure zone conversion are completed.
Property is being evaluated for construction of a new tank in the 529 West Service Area, but this tank
has not been constructed yet. The project was scheduled for 2014-2015 in the 2011 WSP but has been
delayed. This project will be re-scheduled as part of the City's WSP update.
Water Use Ilf6 ciencv
Two WUF_goals were established in the 2011 WSP,
I. Reduce water use by public agencies during June through August by 0.5 percent annually from
2008 through 2014.
2. Maintain water loss for the Kent Water System at less than 6 percent per year.
The City is continuing to work towards its first goal. Various conservation programs have been
implemented, including education and outreach, providing outdoor/indoor hardware and technical

assistance to customers, adding/maintaining meters, and performing unaccounted water/leak detection in
the system. The second goal has been continuously achieved since 2009 per the City's Water Use
Efficiency Annual Performance Reports, with the exception of 2016, when the calculated distribution
system leakage was equal to 6.0 percent. The annual distribution system leakage reported in the City's
WUE reports is shown in Table 2.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
The City has worked to complete capital improvement projects per the schedule outlined in Chapter 10
of the 2011 WSP, although this has not always been feasible due to the economic uncertainty of the
recession.

The City is currently working to install the facilities required to complete the 640 Pressure Zone
conversion over the next 3 years and replace a small amount of water main each year. The City is
committed to ensuring a safe and reliable water service, as such, it is not anticipated that major
improvements beyond those identified in the 20t l WSP will be required to ensure adequate water
service throughout the City's system.
LAND USE AND GROWTH
The City's land use plan and growth projections have changed since the 2011 WSP was prepared. The
revised land use plan and growth projections are attached and will be utilized for the WSP update that is
currently underway.
As stated in the Demand section, the actual 2016 system demand was similar to the 2011 baseline
demand projection, despite population growth that has occurred over this time. It is anticipated that the
actual growth in demand over the requested 2-year extension period will not likely exceed the 6-year
demand projections stated in the 2011 WSP. Therefore, the City's revised population growth projections
are not expected to adversely impact the system capacity within the 2-year extension period.
POLICIES AND DESIGN CRITERIA
The City's policies and design criteria, as presented in Chapter 6 of the 2011 WSP, have been updated as
necessary since the completion of the WSP. Ordinance 4019 is attached. The City is committed to
operating its system and constructing new projects according to these policies and criteria.

FINANCIAL PROGRAM
The financial analysis in Chapter 1 I of the 201 l WSP includes the capital improvements the City is
currently pursuing. The City is continuing to fund and construct capital improvement projects as
economically feasible.
SEPA COMPLIANCE
Since the 2011 WSP, no changes have occurred that would require a new Determination of
Non-significance to be issued.
The City will begin an internal adoption process for this Extension Request Letter at its November 6,
2017, Public Works Committee meeting. Once approved by committee, the request will be placed on the
public agenda for the November 21, 2017, City Council meeting, where the required meeting of
consumers and final approval and adoption wilt take place.
The City requests, and R112 recommends, that the 2011 WSP's existing approval be extended by 2 years
as the analyses and recommendations contained in the WSP are still valid, and the WSP currently meets
the Department of Health's water system planning requirements.

adjustments to those fees require amendments to the text of the Kent City
Code by ordinance.
B. Many of these fees in the city code have not been reviewed or
updated since 2006.
C. Adjustments to the current fees contained in the Kent City
Code would be served best by amending the code to reference fee
schedules contained in a resolution, thereby allowing for adjustments
without amending the text of the Kent City Code.
