Vashon Water System Plan. A. ((Ratification.)) The Vashon Coordinated Water System Plan is ratified in accordance with the regulations of the Washington State Department of Health found in WAC 248-56. The King County council finds the Vashon Coordinated Water System Plan ((to be)) is consistent with the county's adopted land use plans and policies, as ((called for)) set forth in ((RCW)) chapter 70.116 RCW and K.C.C. chapter 13.24 and recommends its approval by the Washington ((S))state Department of Health with the following conditions:
1. ((Service Area.)) A principal requirement and objective of the Vashon Coordinated Water System Plan is the establishment of service areas to assist the water utilities in providing an effective process for the planning and development of a water system. The Vashon Coordinated Water System Plan defines a service area as a geographical area assigned to a water purveyor for the purpose of providing both current and future public water service consistent with local land use plans. The geographic boundaries are defined by agreements among adjacent utilities and are recorded on a set of maps on file with the ((building and land development division)) department of development and environmental services, the Seattle-King County ((health)) department of public health, and the ((real property division)) department of executive services. Water service provided within a designated service area is to be consistent with county land use plans and policies and existing county review procedures regarding water utility comprehensive plans, a water utility's service area and a planning area. An existing service area is a geographic area within which service to customers is available as specifically defined on a map in a utility's comprehensive plan which is approved by King County as consistent with its land use policies.
A planning area is the remaining geographic area identified on the service area maps contained in the Vashon Coordinated Water System Plan which is a logical area for expansion of the system. Extension of service into the planning area requires King County approval as part of the utility's comprehensive plan to make certain that the proposed utility service is consistent with land use plans and policies.
2. ((Land Use Policies.)) Vashon Island purveyors recognize the county's land use policies and will not use water service as a vehicle to supersede the land use policies and zoning on Vashon Island. The purveyors may perform satellite management of all class 2, 3 and 4 water systems within their service areas as provided for by the Vashon Coordinated Water System Plan.
3. ((Conservation Element.)) An application has been submitted to the ((U.S.)) United States Environmental Protection Agency to declare Vashon/Maury Island water supply as a sole source aquifer. For this reason, a water conservation program is an integral element of the Vashon Coordinated Water System Plan. All purveyors shall develop a conservation element as part of their individual water comprehensive plans. The conservation programs to reduce water consumption as outlined in the Vashon Coordinated Water System Plan shall be in place and operating by 1996 and will be reviewed by the Washington ((S))state Department of Health with assistance from the Water Utility Coordinating Committee. King County will monitor and review the effectiveness of purveyor conservation plans in conjunction with the approval of their water comprehensive plans. 1991 will be the base year used to establish the average annual per capita((l)) water consumption figure for measurement purposes, adjusted for any weather abnormalities or previous reduction as a result of an existing conservation program. All water utilities shall achieve a four percent minimum total reduction in water use from the 1991 average annual per capita consumption figure (((base year measurement))) by 1996.
A minimum total reduction in average per capita water consumption of six percent from the 1991 base figure is the stated goal for the entire Vashon/Maury Island Critical Water Supply Service Area by the year 2000.
B. ((Service areas in dispute.)) The Vashon Coordinated Water System Plan identified an unresolved service area dispute between Westside Water Association and Island Spring Water Company. King County recommends to the Washington ((S))state Department of Health that the area in question be assigned as part of the designated water service area of Westside Water Association.
C. ((Plan consistency.)) King County approvals of water service areas through water comprehensive plans or developer extensions will be based upon consistency with V-59 and V-60 of the Vashon Community Plan and F-111, F-305, F-309, and F-310 of the King County Comprehensive Plan, in effect on the effective date of Ordinance 9839.
D. ((Fire protection.)) K.C.C. 17.08.020E exempting new or replacement water mains from fire flow requirements as long as the main will serve exempt uses only shall be utilized in sizing water mains((, and further,)). ((c))Consistent with K.C.C. 17.08.030 A.4 and A.5, if fire protection measures are warranted for buildings over ((2,500)) two thousand five hundred square feet, sprinkler systems, on-site water storage facilities or other measures shall be proven infeasible before requiring fire flow to the site.
SECTION 21. Ordinance 9462, Sections 1 through 3, and K.C.C. 13.28.055 are each hereby amended to read as follows:
East King County Water System Plan.
A. ((Ratification.)) The East King County Coordinated Water System Plan is ratified in accordance with the regulations of the Washington ((S))state Department of Health found in ((C))chapter 248-56 WAC. The King County council finds the East King County Coordinated Water System Plan ((to be)) is consistent with the county's adopted land use plans and policies, as called for in ((C))chapter70.116 RCW and K.C.C. chapter 13.24 and recommends its approval by the Washington ((S))state Department of Health with the following conditions:
1. ((Service Area.)) A principle requirement and objective of the East King County Coordinated Water System Plan is the establishment of service areas to assist the water utilities in providing an effective process for the planning and development of a water system. The East King County Coordinated Water System Plan defines a service area as a geographical area assigned to a water purveyor for the purpose of providing both current and future public water service consistent with local land use plans. The geographic boundaries are defined by agreements among adjacent utilities and are recorded on a set of maps on file with the ((building and land development division)) department of development and environmental services, the Seattle-King County health department, and the ((real property division)) department of executive services. Water service provided within a designated service area is to be consistent with local land use plans. In order to be consistent with county land use plans and policies and existing county review procedures regarding water utility comprehensive plans, a water utility's service area boundary in the context of the East King County Coordinated Water System Plan is understood to consist of an existing service area and a planning area. An existing service area is a geographic area within which service to customers is available as specifically defined on a map in a utility's comprehensive plan which is approved by King County as consistent with its land use policies.
A planning area is the remaining geographic area identified on the service area maps contained in the East King County Coordinated Water System Plan which is a logical area for expansion of the system. Extension of service into the planning area requires King County approval as part of the utility's comprehensive plan to make certain that the proposed utility service is consistent with land use plans and policies.
2. ((Land Use Policies.)) East King County purveyors recognize the county's land use policies and will not use water service as a vehicle to supersede the land use policies and zoning within unincorporated King County.
The purveyors may perform satellite management of all class 2, 3 and 4 water systems within their service areas as provided for by the East King County Coordinated Water System Plan.
3. ((Conservation Element.)) A water conservation program is an integral element of the East King County Coordinated Water System Plan. All purveyors shall develop a conservation element as part of their individual water comprehensive plans. The conservation program to reduce water consumption as outlined in the East King County Coordinated Water System Plan shall be in place and operating by 1995 and will be reviewed at that time for its effectiveness by the Washington ((S))state Department of Health with assistance from the Water Utility Coordinating Committee. King County will monitor and review the effectiveness of purveyor conservation plans in conjunction with the approval of their water comprehensive plans.
1990 will be the base year used to establish the average annual per capita water consumption figure for measurement purposes, adjusted for any weather abnormalities or previous reduction as a result of an existing conservation program.
All utilities of five hundred or fewer customers shall achieve a four percent minimum total reduction in water use from the 1990 average annual per capita((l)) consumption figure (((base year measurement) ))by 1995.
Utilities with five hundred to ten thousand customers and those utilities with greater than ten thousand customers shall achieve a ((6.5)) six and five-tenths percent reduction per capita((l)) consumption figure by 1995.
A minimum total reduction in average per capita water consumption of eight percent from the 1990 base figure is the stated goal for the entire East King County Critical Water Supply Service Area by the year 2000.
B. With respect to the ((U))unresolved service area between the ((C))city of Redmond and Union Hill Water Association((. )), King County recommends to the Washington ((S))state Department of Health that the area in question be assigned as a part of the city of Redmond's designated water service area with the following provisions:
1. The ((C))city of Redmond shall establish an implementation schedule to finalize water service arrangements to this area in a timely and reasonable manner and the area shall be addressed in ((their)) its Comprehensive Water Plan updated by ((year)) the end of 1990. If this is not accomplished, reconsideration will be given to another service provider for the area.
2. The ((C))city of Redmond shall endorse land use and zoning as provided in the Bear Creek Community Plan and Area Zoning and shall not use water service to supersede King County land use authority. Failure to comply will cause King County to withdraw its approval of this portion of the coordinated water system plan and to decertify that particular service area for consistency with county land use plans and policies. Washington ((S))state Department of Health will be notified of this action and the consequences.
3. King County supports the ((C))city of Redmond and the Woodinville Sewer and Water District in the effort to re((-))examine ((their)) the existing interlocal agreement between them regarding provision of water service in this area and to consider changes based on property ownership lines.
C. ((Changes to the Plan.)) The Seattle-King County ((health)) department of public health requests that the following changes to the plan be forwarded to the Washington ((S))state Department of Health for consideration during the final Washington ((S))state Department of Health approval process:
SECTION XI, Part 4 of the East King County Coordinated Water System Plan follows:
