Your Committee on Public Works and ]ntergovemmental Relations, to which w•as referred
Communication No 45 and attached Resolution No I5-01, reports as follows
Resolution No I S-Ol authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Works to issue permits for the
installation of pnvately owned residential waterlines within county rights-of-way
Communication No 45 is from Deputy Chief Engineer Jiro Sumada, dated December 4, 2000,
transmitting Resolution No I S-Ol for the Council's review and consideration Mr Sumada states that
because water service is not evadable to all residential properties, this resolution establishes a system that
would enable consumers to obtain water service by installing a private waterline from an authonzed water
meter to a residence within a county right-of--way
Presently, a conditional permit is issued for a penod of only 180-days or an easement is granted
Mr Galen Kuba, in discussion at the meeting, explained that the permitting system proposed in this
resolution would provide an alternative to both an easement, which can prove costly, and the 180-day
conditional permit process, which imposes time constraints that are not practical
At the request of Chair Elarionoff, the Department of Public Works transmitted to the committee a copy
of the Conditional Permit currently used for such waterlines
Council Member Julie Jacobson voted kanalua times two
Your Committee is in accordance with the purpose and intent of Resolution No I5-01, and recommends
its adoption
