Cooperative Water System Development CITY OF PORT ORCHARD
in the PUBLIC WORKS
Port Orchard 580 Zone / Bremerton 580 Zone
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this,l.:(.,day of 2001, by
and between the CITY OF BREMERTON, a municipal corporation, hereinafter referred to as
Bremerton, and the CITY OF PORT ORCHARD, hereinafter referred to as Port Orchard.
FACTUAL BACKGROUND:
1. Port Orchard's 580 zone water system and the Bremerton's 580 zone water
system abut at Old Clifton Road.
2• Reliability and Efficoency of Servica - Port Orchard and Bremerton desire to provide
the highest reliability of service to their customers at reasonable cost. The Cities recognize that
water resources are finite and vulnerable and that prudent use and management of these
resources can be facilitated by cooperation among water utilities. The Cities agree that
cooperation in the construction, operation and management of the water systems that serve the
Port Orchard 580 and Bremerton 580 zones will:
Improve overall system reliability,
Enhance the manageability of the systems,
• Provide opportunities for conjunctive use of water supplies,
Delay the need to develop new water sources, and
Result in cost efficiencies for both systems
3• - Currently, Bremerton has no
significant system improvements in its 580 zone. To serve the 580 zone, Bremerton must
construct new pumping, storage, transmission and distribution facilities. Port Orchard has existing
storage and transmission mains in its 580 zone. These facilities have excess capacity on an
interim basis. The Port Orchard 580 and Bremerton 580 zones can be made hydraulically
consistent so that the excess capacity of the Port Orchard system can be utilized by Bremerton.
Cooperation with Port Orchard will allow phasing of Bremerton system improvements, deferring
capital expenditures and reducing the overall system cost.
4. Sharing of Existing Port ege[y_ojr Site - Bremerton requires a site for a
future reservoir to serve its 580 zone. Port Orchard owns a site at the regional topographic high
point. The site is large enough to accommodate a future Bremerton reservoir.
5 - A portion of the Port Orchard service area
is too high to be served by the existing Port Orchard 580 zone reservoir. Port Orchard plans to
create a new 660 pressure zone, served by a new pump station, to serve this high area. A portion
of the Bremerton 580 zone is also too high to be served by its future Bremerton reservoir and
o95560-1843.doc Page 1 of 6
HGG Inc. December 17, 2001
service to this area will also require a new high pressure zone and pump station. It is logical and
cost effective to coordinate service to these adjacent high areas so that only a single new high
pressure zone and pump station is required.
6• - Port Orchard requires
an additional source of supply to satisfy its 2017 system growth projections. Port Orchard has
applications pending for additional water rights, but the ultimate disposition of these applications is
uncertain. Bremerton has available source of supply to provide to the City of Port Orchard on a
long term, uninterruptible basis.
7. RCW 39.34 and 35.92.200 empower Bremerton and Port Orchard to enter into a
cooperative agreement for providing outside water service.
IT IS AGREED:
1. COOPERATIVE WATER SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT PLAN: Port Orchard and
Bremerton agree to cooperate in the design, installation, operation and management of major
water system infrastructure and water supply to serve the Port Orchard 580 zone, the Bremerton
580 Zone and the future Port Orchard/Bremerton 660 zone, as outlined in the attached
Cooperative Water System Development Plan, (The Cooperative Plan). The Cooperative Plan,
which is attached and made a part hereof, has been reviewed and is approved upon adoption of
the Interlocal Agreement by the City Councils for Bremerton and Port Orchard.
2. SERVICE AREA: Nothing in this agreement is to be construed as changing or
altering the water service area boundaries that exist as of the date of this agreement.
3. RESALE: Water supplied under this agreement shall not be resold to third party
utilities without the prior written consent of the supplying utility.
4. WATER SUPPLY:
4200 Fe0gley Property - Port Orchard agrees to supply water for domestic use and fireflow
to the 4200 Feigley Property from its 580 pressure zone via its 16 inch water main in Old
Clifton Road, until such time as a separate Bremerton watermain in Old Clifton Road (or its
equivalent) is constructed and operational. Fireflow rates/volumes and domestic/ fireflow
service pressures supplied by Port Orchard will be a minimum of 1,700 gpm for one hour
at a minimum of gradient of 540 at the connection. Bremerton agrees to supply water to
Port Orchard, via its 12 inch Campus Parkway watermain (Old Clifton Road connection),
to replenish the water supplied by Port Orchard to the 4200 Feigley property. The water
supplied by Bremerton to Port Orchard will be delivered at a minimum hydraulic gradient of
580. The volume of water supplied by Port Orchard to the 4200 Feigley property shall be
replenished by Bremerton on a continuous basis, or as otherwise agreed to.
660 on - Upon implementation of the 660 zone, Port Orchard agrees to supply water for
domestic use and fireflow to Bremerton's 660 service area, via the 660 pump station.
Fireflow rates/volumes and domestic/fireflow service pressures supplied by Port Orchard
will be agreed to and approved by both Port Orchard and Bremerton prior to
implementation of the 660 zone. Bremerton agrees to supply water to Port Orchard, via
the Campus Parkway connection or reservoir site connection, as applicable, to replenish
the water supplied by Port Orchard to Bremerton's portion of the 660 service area. The
water supplied by Bremerton to Port Orchard will be delivered at a minimum hydraulic
o95560-1843.doc Page 2 of 6
HGG Inc. December 17, 2001
gradient of 580. The volume of water supplied by Port Orchard to Bremerton's 660 service
area shall be replenished by Bremerton on a continuous basis, or as otherwise agreed to.
- Port Orchard agrees to supply the Bremerton 580 zone
with fireflow, via the Old Clifton Road connection or reservoir site connection, as
applicable, until such time as a separate Bremerton storage reservoir is constructed and
operational. Fireflow will be provided at a maximum rate of 1,700 gpm for a maximum
period of 3 hours at a minimum gradient of 540 at the connection.
If either Bremerton or Port Orchard has a need for an emergency water supply (other than
fireflow), it shall notify the other utility of this and of the volume required prior to activating
the connection between the two systems. Notification of this need may be verbal, but it
will be followed up within 10 working days by written confirmation. The emergency supply
of water between each system shall not be unreasonably be denied by either party.
The volume of water supplied for fireflow or emergency supply shall be replenished by the
receiving utility to the supplying utility within 24 hours after the emergency, or as otherwise
agreed to.
- Beginning on January 1, 2004 (or at a
later time agreed by the parties, Bremerton agrees to supply a uninterruptible water supply
to the Port Orchard 580 Zone of up to a maximum of 285 ac.-ft. on a yearly basis, at a
maximum rate not to exceed 350 gpm, via the Old Clifton Road connection or reservoir
site connection, as applicable. This supply is in addition to water supplied by Bremerton to
Port Orchard for service of the 4200 Feigley property, the Bremerton 660 zone,
emergency purposes or for service of other portions of the Bremerton service area that
may be included in this agreement (and served via the Port Orchard system) in the future.
The water supplied by Bremerton to Port Orchard will be delivered at a minimum hydraulic
gradient of 580. Port Orchard agrees to compensate Bremerton for this long term water
supply in accordance with the terms of this agreement.
The water supplied by Bremerton to Port Orchard shall be firm and uninterruptible until
such future time as Port Orchard may secure new water rights to replace the Bremerton
supply. Port Orchard agrees to make diligent, continuous, best efforts to acquire water
rights to replace the Bremerton supply. Nothing in this Agreement shall abrogate Port
Orchard's obligation to provide its water supply needs through its own sources at the
earliest possible date. Bremerton agrees that if new water rights are not secured, the
water supplied by Bremerton will continue indefinitely. For purposes of this Agreement
Port Orchard is a wholesale customer of the City of Bremerton and will make no claim to
any Bremerton water right.
5• WATER QUALITY: Bremerton agrees to deliver water to Port Orchard at the
purity and quality in effect for residential customers of Bremerton. Port Orchard agrees to deliver
water to Bremerton at the purity and quality in effect for residential customers of Port Orchard,
except that water delivered by Port Orchard to Bremerton shall not be fluoridated. In the event of
water quality problems in either system, Bremerton and Port Orchard agree to work cooperatively
and diligently to determine the source/location of the problem and correct it. Regardless of the
source/location of water quality problems, each party agrees to assume the cost of correcting
water quality problems in its own system.
6. COMPENSATION: For purposes of this agreement the cost of water shall be fixed
at ninety-five percent (95%) of Bremerton's County retail rate. In calculating costs, the Master
o95560-1843.doc Page 3 of 6
HGG Inc. December 17, 2001
Connection between the Port Orchard and Bremerton systems shall be assumed to be an 8 inch
meter (regardless of actual meter size). For all other connections between the systems, the meter
size for billing purposes shall be the actual installed size. All water provided from or to either utility
will be charged at this cost, unless otherwise agreed to. Payment for supplied water shall be
made monthly by the receiving utility, upon receipt of an invoice from the supplying utility.
Any and all fixed costs for a meter connection shall cease at such time that the receiving
utility notifies the supplying utility that the connection is no longer necessary for normal domestic
supply. After this notification, if the connection remains in place for purposes of emergency
supply, it will not be subject to the fixed cost portion of a rate structure, although any water used
for emergency purposes will be subject to the agreed upon unit rate for water use.
This agreement is based on the City of Bremerton's current rate structure, as of the date
of this agreement. This rate structure consists of two parts: a fixed cost (based on meter size)
and a variable cost (based on the actual volume of water purchased). It is acknowledged that
changes to this rate structure may occur during the life of this agreement. It is agreed by the
parties that any further rate structure changes to add progressive rates for increased water usage,
will accommodate the fact that the water supplied under this agreement will serve a large number
of ERU's and that the estimated total number of ERU's served will be used to calculate the
volume of water in each rate tier.
7. WATER CONSERVATION: Port Orchard has begun to prepare and implement a
water conservation plan for the Port Orchard 580 zone. The goal of this plan is to reduce
domestic water consumption in the Port Orchard 580 zone. Upon execution of this agreement,
Port Orchard will move to complete and implement the conservation plan.
During drought conditions or other supply shortages suffered by Bremerton for any
reason, it is agreed that Port Orchard customers using Bremerton supplied water will comply with
similar restrictions and conservation measures required or requested of Bremerton customers
according to Bremerton's Water Conservation Plan.
8. NOTICES: All notices and other written communications required by this
Agreement shall be in writing and, except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement,
shall be deemed to have been given at the time of delivery, if personally delivered, or at the time
of mailing if mailed by first class, postage pre -paid and addressed to the party at its address as
stated below, or at such address as any party may designate at any time in writing.

Port Orchard 580 Zone / Bremerton 580 Zone
Plan for
Cooperative Water System Development
This Document provides a plan for cooperative water system development between the
City of Port Orchard and the City of Bremerton. The Cooperative Water System Development
Plan ("The Cooperative Plan") outlined below describes phased water improvements in the Port
Orchard 580 and Bremerton 580 zones which will provide safe, reliable service in an efficient and
cost effective manner. Cooperation between the City of Bremerton and the City of Port Orchard in
the development of their adjacent water systems will result in the following benefits:
A. RefiabmfiLy aod EfficipanQy Qf Seryice - Water resources are finite and vulnerable and
the prudent use and management of these resources can be facilitated by
cooperation among water utilities. Cooperation in the construction, operation and
management of the water systems that serve the Port Orchard 580 and Bremerton
580 zones will:
Improve overall system reliability,
Enhance the manageability of the systems,
Provide opportunities for conjunctive use of water supplies,
Will delay the need to develop new water sources, and
Result in cost efficiencies for both systems
B. Deferral/Phasing of Bremerton Infrastructure - Currently, Bremerton has no
significant system improvements in its 580 zone. To serve the 580 zone,
Bremerton must construct new pumping, storage, transmission and distribution
facilities. Port Orchard has existing storage and transmission mains in its 580
zone. These facilities have excess capacity on an interim basis. The Port Orchard
580 and Bremerton 580 zones can be made hydraulically consistent so that the
excess capacity of the Port Orchard system can be utilized by Bremerton.
Cooperation with Port Orchard will allow phasing of Bremerton system
improvements, deferring capital expenditures and reducing the overall system cost.
C. Sharing Qf Existing Part Orchard Reservoir Site - Bremerton requires a site for a
future reservoir to serve its 580 zone. Port Orchard owns a site at the regional
topographic high point. The site is large enough to accommodate a future
Bremerton reservoir.
D. Elimination of Duplicate Pump5tations - A portion of the Port Orchard service area
is too high to be served by the existing Port Orchard 580 zone reservoir. Port
Orchard plans to create a new 660 pressure zone, served by a new pump station,
to serve this high area. A portion of the Bremerton 580 zone is also too high to be
served by its future Bremerton reservoir and service to this area will also require a
new high pressure zone and pump station. It is logical and cost effective to
095560-1842.doc Page 1 of 11
HGG Inc. December 17, 2001
coordinate service to these adjacent high areas so that only a single new high
pressure zone and pump station is required.
E. Satisfartion of Port Orchard Water Source_ Requirements - Port Orchard requires
an additional source of supply to satisfy its 2017 system growth projections. Port
Orchard has applications pending for additional water rights, but the ultimate
disposition of these applications is uncertain. Bremerton has available source of
supply to provide to the City of Port Orchard on a long term, uninterruptible basis.
The Cooperative Plan will be implemented in four phases, as described below. Attached
is a summary chart which provides a quick one page synopsis of the main points of The
Cooperative Plan. Also attached is a map of The Cooperative Plan area (Figure 1) with key
landmarks noted.
For purpose of this Cooperative Plan, a Port Orchard 580 zone ERU connection is defined
as a single family residential connection or, if other than single family, a connection which has an
average daily demand of 290 gpd and a maximum daily demand of 650 gpd, and a Bremerton
580 zone ERU connection is defined as a single family residential connection or, if other than
single family, a connection which has an average daily demand of 202 gpd and a maximum daily
demand of 392 gpd.
Phase 1 extends from the present through 923 Port Orchard ERU connections in the Port
Orchard 580 Zone (approximately year 2004) QL through 1,260 Bremerton ERU connections, in
the Bremerton 580 Zone, whichever occurs first.
During Phase 1 the 4200 Feigley property will be served by Port Orchard with water
replenished by Bremerton, Phase I of the Northwest Corporate Campus will be served by the
Bremerton system, and the McCormick Woods PUD and McCormick West will be served by the
Port Orchard system.
In Phase 1, Bremerton will construct new Pump Station 2A, a new 12 inch transmission
main in Campus Parkway (from pump station 2A to Old Clifton Road) and a new connection
between the Port Orchard and Bremerton systems at Old Clifton Road (termed the Old Clifton
Road connection). Port Orchard will provide up to 1,700 gpm of emergency fireflow for up to 3
hours to the Bremerton system, via the new Old Clifton Road connection. This will defer the need
for Bremerton to construct a separate new storage reservoir in the 580 zone and a separate new
water main in Old Clifton Road. Water will also be supplied from Bremerton to Port Orchard, via
this connection, in the event of a supply emergency in the Port Orchard system.
The 4200 Feigley property is within the Bremerton service area and its internal water
system will be constructed, owned and operated by Bremerton. In Phase 1, the 4200 Feigley
project will connect to, and be supplied water from, the existing Port Orchard 16 inch water main
in Old Clifton Road. This will defer the need for Bremerton to construct a separate new water
main in Old Clifton Road.
o95560-1842.doc Page 2 of 11
HGG Inc. December 17, 2001
Bremerton will supply water to the Port Orchard system, via the Old Clifton Road
connection, to replenish the water supplied by Port Orchard to the 4200 Feigley property. Port
Orchard and Bremerton will also replenish and/or reimburse each other for water supplied for
emergency and/or fireflow purposes.
Specific responsibilities in Phase 1 are:
Consistent Pressure Gradient - A consistent pressure gradient between the Bremerton
and Port Orchard systems is required to facilitate cooperative service. Therefore, as part of
Phase 1, Bremerton will adjust its adjacent water system to a 580 pressure gradient so that it is
consistent with the hydraulic gradient in the Port Orchard system. The adjustment of Bremerton's
hydraulic gradient may require revisions to the design of Bremerton's planned Pump Station 2A.
These revisions are the responsibility of Bremerton. All planning and design revisions necessary
to accomplish the change in hydraulic gradient shall commence upon execution of this agreement
and be completed by January 1, 2002.
Bremerton Pump Station 2A - In Phase 1, Bremerton will construct, operate and maintain
pump station 2A to supply a minimum of 1,600 gpm at a hydraulic gradient of 580 at the Port
Orchard reservoir. Pump Station 2A will be equipped with a standby power generator sufficient to
maintain operation of the pump station during a power outage. The pump station will be
completed and operational by July 1, 2002.
1-2-inch Trarlsmi55iQn Main in Campus Parkw,-iy - Bremerton will construct, operate and
maintain a 12 inch transmission main in Campus Parkway from Pump Station 2A to the Old
Clifton Road connection with the existing Port Orchard 16 inch water main. This transmission
main shall be completed and operational by July 1, 2002.
Connection between the Bremerton and Port Orchard Systems nt Old Qifton Road -
Bremerton will construct a connection (including meter) between the 12 inch transmission main in
Campus Parkway and the existing Port Orchard 16 inch water main in Old Clifton Road (Old
Clifton Road connection). The meter shall be capable of measuring the flow of water both from
Bremerton to Port Orchard and from Port Orchard to Bremerton. The specific design and method
of operation of the connection/meter shall be approved by both Port Orchard and Bremerton prior
to installation. Construction and maintenance of the connection/meter is the responsibility of
Bremerton but the cost of construction, operation and maintenance will be shared equally by both
Port Orchard and Bremerton. The connection shall be completed and operational by July 1, 2002.
Port Orchard and Bremerton shall work together to secure Washington State Department
of Health and Washington State Department of Ecology approval of the connection. If
amendments to water system plan documents are required these shall be completed by each
system at its own expense. If additional specific studies/designs are required to secure approval
of the connection these shall be completed as agreed to and the cost shared equally by both Port
Orchard and Bremerton.
Ficeflnw for Northwest Corporate Campus - Fireflow for the Northwest Corporate Campus
is reported by Bremerton to be 1,700 gpm for 3 hours. Port Orchard has approximately 306,000
gallons of available storage in its existing reservoir which allows Port Orchard to provide up to
1,700 gpm of fireflow for 3 hours to the Bremerton system (at a minimum hydraulic gradient of
540). With Port Orchard supplying 1,700 gpm fireflow, Bremerton need not supply any fireflow
o95560-1842.doc Page 3 of 11
HGG Inc. December 17, 2001
directly from Pump Station 2A. If the fireflow requirement at Northwest Corporate Campus
increases above 1,700 gpm due to unforeseen circumstances, Bremerton will supply the fireflow
amount above 1,700 gpm.
Port Orchard's supply of 1,700 gpm for 3 hours for fireflow is contingent on the approval of
the local fire district and the Washington State Department of Health to allow standby and fireflow
storage to utilize the same volume (in the Port Orchard 580 reservoir). Port Orchard and
Bremerton will work together to secure these approvals.
Service to 4200 Feigley Property - Bremerton will construct a connection (including meter)
between the 4200 Feigley water system and the existing Port Orchard 16 inch water main in Old
Clifton Road (Feigley connection). The meter shall be capable of measuring the flow of water
from the Port Orchard system to the 4200 Feigley system. The specific design and method of
operation of the connection/meter shall be approved by both Port Orchard and Bremerton prior to
installation. Construction, operation, maintenance and all associated costs of the connection
/meter is the responsibility of Bremerton.
660 Pressure Zone - Port Orchard will create a 660 pressure zone by designing,
constructing, operating and maintaining a new pump station at the 580 reservoir site. The 660
pump station will be designed and constructed to service area in both Port Orchard and
Bremerton. The 660 pump station will be designed to supply domestic demands and fireflow, in
accordance with applicable state regulations. The 660 pump station will be equipped with a
standby power generator sufficient to maintain operation of the pump station during a power
outage, in accordance with applicable state regulations. Design and construction of the 660 pump
station, and implementation of the 660 zone, will begin at a future date to be agreed on by
Bremerton and Port Orchard. Design of the 660 pump station, the 660 zone boundaries, the
number of connections to be served and required fireflow will be approved by both Port Orchard
and Bremerton prior to implementation.
The cost of design and construction of the 660 pump station will be shared by Bremerton and
Port Orchard on a pro-rata basis, based on the total number of ERU connections within the 660
zone. Distribution mains within the 660 zone will generally be the individual responsibility of Port
Orchard and Bremerton, depending on which service area they serve. The cost of shared
distribution facilities in the 660 zone, if any, will be shared by Bremerton and Port Orchard on a
pro-rata basis based on the total number of ERU connections served by the facility.
Water supplied from the 660 pump station to the Bremerton service area will be metered.
The specific design and method of operation of the connection/meter shall be approved by both
Port Orchard and Bremerton prior to installation. Construction, operation, maintenance and all
associated costs of this connection/meter is the responsibility of Bremerton. Bremerton will supply
water to the Port Orchard system, via the Old Clifton Road connection, to replenish the water
supplied by Port Orchard to the Bremerton service area within the 660 zone, including domestic,
fireflow and emergency supply.

I&EM:
Phase 2 extends from 923 Port Orchard ERU connections in the Port Orchard 580 Zone
(approximately year 2004) through 1,500 Port Orchard ERU connections (approximately year
2007) QL through 3,350 Bremerton ERU connections in the Bremerton 580 Zone, whichever
occurs first.
In Phase 2, Bremerton will provide a long term, uninterruptible source of supply to the Port
Orchard system of up to 285 ac.-ft. on a yearly basis, at a maximum rate not to exceed 350 gpm.
This supply is in addition to water supplied by Bremerton to Port Orchard for service of the 4200
Feigley property, the 660 zone or for emergency purposes. This source of supply will be provided
by upgrading the capacity of Bremerton Pump Station 2A (unless it was oversized in Phase 1).
In Phase 2. Port Orchard will continue to provide up to 1,700 gpm of emergency fireflow
for up to 3 hours to the Bremerton system at a minimum hydraulic gradient of 540, via the Old
Clifton road connection, and Port Orchard will continue to supply water to 4200 Feigley via the
Feigley connection, deferring Bremerton transmission main and storage improvements. In Phase
2 water will also be supplied between the systems, via the Old Clifton Road connection, in the
event of a water supply emergency in either system.
Specific responsibilities during Phase 2 are:
RrpmertQn Pump Sta_tion 2A - In Phase 2, Bremerton will upgrade the capacity of Pump
Station 2A to accommodate the supply of a maximum of 350 gpm to the Port Orchard water
system. All incremental costs associated with the required capacity upgrades to Pump Station 2A
will be the responsibility of Port Orchard. The pump station capacity upgrades will be completed
and operational within one year of Port Orchard's request, in writing, that the source be made
available, but no sooner than January 1, 2004.
- If the supply of an additional 350 gpm to
the Port Orchard system requires upgrading the capacity of transmission mains in Campus
Parkway, the cost of these upgrades will be the responsibility of Port Orchard. However,
Bremerton will cooperate with Port Orchard to minimize the need for transmission main upgrades
by managing its system as efficiently as possible, including utilizing distribution mains as
transmission facilities where feasible.
Beginning in Phase 2, Bremerton will
provide a uninterruptible source of supply to the Port Orchard 580 Zone of up to a maximum of
285 ac.-ft. on a yearly basis, at a maximum rate not to exceed 350 gpm, via the Campus Parkway
or reservoir site connection, as applicable. This supply is in addition to water supplied by
Bremerton to Port Orchard for service of the 4200 Feigley property, 660 zone or for emergency
purposes. The water supplied by Bremerton to Port Orchard will be delivered at a minimum
hydraulic gradient of 580 (at the 580 reservoir).

The water supplied by Bremerton to Port Orchard shall be firm and uninterruptible until
such future time as Port Orchard may secure new water rights to replace the Bremerton supply.
Port Orchard agrees to make diligent, continuous, best efforts to acquire water rights to replace
the Bremerton supply. Nothing in this Agreement shall abrogate Port Orchard's obligation to
provide its water supply needs through its own sources at the earliest possible date. Bremerton
agrees that if new water rights are not secured, the water supplied by Bremerton will continue
indefinitely. For purposes of this Agreement Port Orchard is a wholesale customer of the City of
Bremerton and will make no claim to any Bremerton water right.
Bremerton will coordinate its operation and maintenance of pump station 2A so that
interruptions, if any, in water supplied to Port Orchard occur during low water use periods.
Regulatory Approvals ovals - Port Orchard and Bremerton shall work together to secure
Washington State Department of Health and Washington State Department of Ecology approval
of Bremerton's supply to Port Orchard. If amendments to the water system plan documents are
required these shall be completed by each system at their own expense. If additional specific
studies/designs are required to secure approval these shall be completed as agreed to and the
cost shared equally by both Port Orchard and Bremerton.
Phase 3 extends from 1,500 Port Orchard ERU connections in the Port Orchard 580 Zone
(approximately year 2007) through 2835 Port Orchard ERU connections in the 580 Zone (full
buildout - approximately year 2018) ar through 3,350 Bremerton ERU connections in the
Bremerton 580 Zone, whichever occurs first.
After approximately 1,500+/- ERU connections in the Port Orchard 580 Zone, the existing
Port Orchard 16 inch main in Old Clifton Road may not have sufficient capacity to supply fireflow
to the Bremerton system. In Phase 3 Bremerton will construct a permanent transmission main in
Old Clifton Road from Campus Parkway to the Port Orchard reservoir and 4200 Feigley will be
disconnected from the Port Orchard 16 inch main and served from this new Bremerton main. In
Phase 3 the connection between the Port Orchard and Bremerton systems at Old Clifton Road will
be relocated to the Port Orchard reservoir site (termed the reservoir connection).
In Phase 3, Port Orchard will continue to provide up to 1,700 gpm of emergency fireflow
for up to 3 hours to the Bremerton system at a minimum gradient of 540, via the reservoir
connection, deferring the need for Bremerton to construct a separate new storage reservoir in the
580 zone.
During Phase 3, Port Orchard will construct a second reservoir on its existing reservoir site
to satisfy its growth requirements in its 580 zone. Port Orchard will coordinate the design of this
second reservoir with Bremerton so that space is available at the Port Orchard site for a future
Bremerton reservoir(s).
Specific responsibilities during Phase 3 are:

Bremerton ,12 �inch Transmissim Main in Old CliftQ ad - Bremerton will construct,
operate and maintain a 12 inch transmission main in Old Clifton Road from Campus Parkway to a
connection with the Port Orchard water system at the Port Orchard reservoir site (reservoir
connection). The transmission main will be completed and operational within 1 year of Port
Orchard's request, in writing, that the main be constructed, but no sooner than 2007.
If Bremerton's long term supply of 350 gpm to the Port Orchard system requires upgrading
the capacity of the Bremerton transmission main in Old Clifton Road, the cost of this upgrade will
be the responsibility of Port Orchard. However, Bremerton will cooperate with Port Orchard to
minimize the need for transmission main upgrades by managing its system as efficiently as
possible, including utilizing distribution mains as transmission facilities where feasible.
Relocation of the Connection between the Bremerton end Port Orchard Systems - As an
element of the installation of its transmission main in Old Clifton Road, Bremerton will relocate the
Old Clifton Road connection and meter to the Port Orchard reservoir site (reservoir connection).
The specific design and method of operation of the connection/meter relocation shall be approved
by both Port Orchard and Bremerton prior to installation. Installation and maintenance of the
connection/meter at the reservoir site is the responsibility of Bremerton, but the cost of installation,
operation and maintenance will be shared equally by both Port Orchard and Bremerton. The
construction schedule for relocation of the connection/meter shall be coordinated with Port
Orchard to avoid disruptions in supply to Port Orchard.
Regulatory Approvals ovals - Port Orchard and Bremerton shall work together to secure
Washington State Department of Health and Washington State Department of Ecology approval
of the connection relocation. If amendments to the water system plan documents are required
these shall be completed by each system at their own expense. If additional specific
studies/designs are required to secure approval these shall be completed as agreed to and the
cost shared equally by both Port Orchard and Bremerton.
Term:
There is no specific timetable for the start of Phase 4. Phase 4 begins when Bremerton
requires separate standby storage in its 580 Zone and/or when separation of the Port Orchard
and Bremerton systems is desired by either City, whichever occurs first.
In Phase 4, the Bremerton and Port Orchard systems will be functionally separated.
Bremerton will construct separate storage reservoir(s) on the Port Orchard reservoir site(s) and a
separate distribution main in Old Clifton Road (if necessary). In Phase 4 Bremerton will provide its
own fireflow. Port Orchard will provide space within its reservoir site to Bremerton for a reservoir,
when requested to do so by Bremerton.

reservoir site(s) for Bremerton to construct, operate and maintain a separate storage reservoir or
reservoirs to serve the Bremerton 580 zone. The exact location of the Bremerton reservoir(s) will
be determined by mutual agreement prior to construction. Title for the land on which the
Bremerton reservoir(s) are built will remain with Port Orchard. Port Orchard will grant a
permanent easement to allow Bremerton to construct, maintain and operate the reservoir(s) and
associated water mains and appurtenances on the site in perpetuity, at no cost to Bremerton.
Each party shall be responsible for the cost of construction, site restoration, operation and
maintenance of its own reservoirs and water system infrastructure on the reservoir site(s). After
construction of the Bremerton reservoir, the cost of routine maintenance of the reservoir grounds
and access roads will be shared equally by Bremerton and Port Orchard.
Due to uncertainties regarding future land use and sensitive area codes, Port Orchard will
not warrant that any specific area, size or shape of land will be available for use by Bremerton.
However, from the date of this agreement Port Orchard will coordinate with Bremerton regarding
its future space requirements prior to constructing any additional infrastructure on the site(s).
Separat.ian_nf the Bremerton and Port Orr -hard Systems - Separation of the Bremerton
and Port Orchard systems and/or restoration of both systems to a permanent configuration may
require the removal and/or relocation of temporary piping, valving meters, etc., the addition of new
connections at the reservoir site, etc. The cost of these miscellaneous adjustments will be shared
equally between Bremerton and Port Orchard unless it is clearly demonstrated that the work is for
the benefit of a particular system.
All water supply delivered as described in this plan shall be measured by the supplying
utility using electronic metering equipment of a type which is agreeable to each utility. Meters
shall be read and metering results shall be reported to the receiving utility on a monthly basis, or
at such frequency as may otherwise be agreed to by the parties. The metering equipment shall
be furnished, installed, maintained, and calibrated by the receiving utility, as specified below.
Calibration shall be done at least once every three (3) years and a copy of calibration results
submitted to the supplying utility. Both utilities shall have access to and be permitted to install and
maintain its own monitoring and recording system at its own expense.
4200 Feigley meter - For this connection Port Orchard is the supplying utility and
Bremerton is the receiving utility.
660 Zone meter - For this connection Port Orchard is the supplying utility and
Bremerton is the receiving utility.
Old Cloffon RQad connection and/or Reservoir QQnoection meters - For these
connections Bremerton is the supplying utility and Port Orchard is the receiving
utility. However, Bremerton will be responsible for furnishing, installing,
maintaining, and calibrating the metering equipment for these connections, and the
cost shall be shared jointly.
In the event any meter fails to register, or it registers incorrectly, the Water Utility Billing
Department for the supplying utility shall estimate the amount of water delivered for the period
during which such meter failed to register by taking an average of the total deliveries of water
o95560-1842.doc Page 8 of 11

through such meter for the preceding two months in which water was delivered.
Each utility shall install, operate, and maintain isolation valves and related facilities on their
respective water mains at the point where those mains are interconnected. Each utility shall
cooperate with the other utility in coordinating the operation of the isolation valves and related
facilities for the purposes of this Agreement.
