Water Design and Construction Standards

Design and construction of water mains and other appurtenances in the District shall comply with either the Water Design and Construction Standards or the Recycled Water Design and Construction Standards, or the permit requirements of various governing bodies, except where specific modifications have been approved, in writing, by the Public Works Director.

A registered civil engineer shall sign all submitted plans, and all work shall be in accordance with good engineering practice. This document sets forth the procedure for designing and preparing plans and specifications for water systems built for the District. Wherever there are differences between these standards and other county, state, or federal regulations, the most stringent or highest requirement shall govern. Specifications and plates relating to pipelines are intended for pipes up to and including 18 inches (450 mm) in diameter.

These Standards complement the City of Simi Valley Municipal Code, Title 9, entitled "Planning and Zoning."

Modification or Deviation

Requests to modify or deviate from a standard within this manual may be made. Such requests must be presented in writing for the City's approval, through the Director of the Public Works, clearly specifying the modifications or deviations, clearly describing the nature and purpose of the modification or deviation, and citing the standard to which such change applies.

References to other published engineering standards (not other municipal standards, rather general engineering standards) are encouraged where applicable.
