Subdivisions & Developers

A developer is anyone who is subdividing land and/or seeking to place more than one meter on property. Our engineers must perform a study in this case to ensure proper water supply and pressure to both new and current customers.

All developers who are seeking service with Cash SUD must complete a  Non-Standard Service Application Pkt. 

This packet contains all the information, application and proper documentation that will need to be provided to our Consulting Engineers. 

 APPENDIX A
This appendix is set forth and adopted by the District to meet the growing need to provide fire
flow in new subdivisions and developments throughout the District’s service area. The District reserves the right to “Re-classify” flows on all fire hydrants within the distribution system including new subdivisions and development as the District adds more connections to the distribution system. All fire hydrants shall, at all times, meet the minimum state standards and
the “Re-classification of a fire hydrant shall not constitute a need for off-site improvements by the District.

Design

1. Design is based on current rural development densities as seen throughout the state.
   5 acres and larger size lots
   6 inch distribution main with fire hydrants (FH) located every 2000 feet. Flow can range
   from 250 gallon per minutes (gpm) to 500gpm.
2. 2 acre to 5 acre size lots
   6 inch distribution main with FHs located every 1000 feet. Flow can range from 500gpm
   to 750gpm.
3. 1 acre to 2 acre size lots
   8 inch distribution main with FHs located every 500 feet. Flow can range from
   500gpm to 750gpm*.
4. 1 acre and smaller size lots
   8 inch distribution main with FHs located every 500 feet. Flow can range from
   1000gpm and up*.
5.  Industrial and Commercial Structures
   8 inch distribution main with FHs located between each lot. Flow can range from
   750gpm to 1000gpm*.
6. Schools
   Looped 8 inch distribution main with FHs located every 500 feet. Flow can range from
   750gpm to 1000gpm*.
   (*) can include the use of more than one FH.

All fire hydrants shall be color coded to the flow established after installation and testing to the
District’s requirements below. The fire hydrant barrel shall be painted black and the end caps
and top bonnet painted according to tested flow.
250gpm to 500gpm flow = Red
500gpm to 750gpm flow = Orange
750gpm to 1400gpm flow = Green
1400gpm and greater flow = Blue

All fire hydrants shall have a reflective device and or tape to aid in locating at night.
