Re: 1170-1180 Dorset St, Park Rd. Commons
The South Burlington Water Department has reviewed the current plans for 1170-1180 Dorset Street. Please
find our comments below.
1. The Preliminary Application for Water Allocation already requested has not yet been approved for
this project. The SBWD will provide information on the water allocation request forthwith.
Preliminary allocation approvals are dependent on available storage in the City of South
Burlington’s defined storage areas.
2. There is currently no water line on Park Road that would supply this project. Coordination with the
developer of the parcel to the north will be needed depending on timing of construction for these
two projects.
3. The water mains and services for Private Roads A & B will be considered private and subject to all
conditions stated in the City of South Burlington Water Ordinance, including private hydrant fees.
An easement providing the SBWD access for routine repairs and maintenance must be provided to
the SBWD. HOA contact information must also be provided to the SBWD upon project build-out.
4. Private Road A: The three proposed service lines located in front of unit 5 will be subject to water
hammer and pressure fluctuations due to their proximity to the end of the proposed water main
and nearby hydrant. The water main shall be extended to the end of the drive, in front of unit 3.
5. Private Road B: The three proposed service lines located in front of unit 12 will be subject to water
hammer and pressure fluctuations due to their proximity to the end of the proposed water main
and nearby hydrant. The water main shall be extended to the end of the drive, in front of unit 14.
6. The proposed main line gate valves on Park Road are too close to the proposed light pole. Please
refer to the CWD Specifications for utility separation requirements.
7. Note that fire hydrants must be installed with a 4” Storz connection on the pumper nozzle. Please
refer to the CWD Specifications for more C-900 water main and fire hydrant information.
8. Please review and apply all comments provided in the SBWD Technical Review Comments dated
July 22,2021.
