Ordinance 2161-96 - Laserfiche WebLink

Total permitted flow entering the plant for treatment is 25.5 million gallons per day. Planning for plant expansion will begin in 1996. (b) Domestic water. Domestic water is supplied wholesale to 70% of Snohomish County, including all of Everett, by the Utilities Division of the City of Everett Department of Public Works. Within Everett, water is distributed entirely by the City (Utilities, Department of Public Works). (See Water System Capital Facilities Map on page 20.) Outside the city limits, it is purchased from the City of Everett by a number of districts which supply water to other jurisdictions. Management of the city's water supply is guided by the "Water System Plan Update" (1994) which has been adopted by the Planning Commission and City Council. Department of Public Works sponsored water conservation plans are designed to substantially reduce future per capita water consumption. (c) Stormwater. Stormwater management programs within the Everett area are guided by the "South Everett Drainage Basins Plan," which was adopted by the Planning Commission and City Council in 1982. Updates of specific drainage basins are periodically completed. In addition, the City coordinates its management of stormwater with The Puget Sound Water Quality Authority, which has provided specific guidelines and regulations. Capital improvements for surface water management are funded through City of Everett sewer rates. 5. Transportation Information from the transportation inventory was used to establish a level of ser- vice/concurrency requirement. Revisions to the Interim Transportation Mitigation Ordinance are anticipated in order to meet GMA goals. Currently, transportation thoroughfares are designed to meet Highway Capacity Manual standards. It is not likely, nor is it desirable, that GMA goals can be attained solely through the use of these standards. For a more complete discussion, please refer to the City of Everett Comprehensive Plan - Transportation Element. 6. City Buildings & Other Related Facilities The inventory of City-owned buildings has been completed and plans for new construction and expansion have been outlined. Existing facilities include those used by City Administration, the Fire and Police Departments, the Library and the Senior Center. Current projects include two new facilities (the Animal Control Shelter and the Fire Station#7). The anticipated need for additional facilities to house services such as fire and police as a result of future annexations is expected, in part (a) to depend on future annexation policies, involving the County and Boundary Review Board, and (b) to be fulfilled by existing facilities within these specific planning areas. Police and Fire Departments are currently investigating the concept of shared space. 7. Public Housing Public Housing issues for the city are addressed through the "Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy" (CHAS) document prepared by the Department of Planning and Community Development and adopted by the Everett City Council annually.
