Re: 6" check valves = Meridian Industrial Park

Dear Mr. Chong:

writing
permitted to i water lines to
the property line without the use of "check valves!'.

We have had our Consultant Check with a number of Municipalities
including Burnaby, Richmond, surrey, Coquitlam, Maple Ridge, New
Westminster and Port Moody. Only Port Moody require a 6" check
valve in the road allowance. -

I understand that Surrey (who hava more by-laws than I can deal
with and as a consequence, we do not do any work in Surrey) re-
quires a check valve on fire lines and domastic line. These
check valves are installed on the private property. However, if
the fire line is not utilized, then the check valve is not re-
quired.

There are a number of reasons for this request as sat out below:

1. A 6" line and shutoff valve is more costly than a domestic
service without the additional cost of “check valves",
(approximately $900, 00).

6" check valves are not stocked in Vancouver and delivery is
anywhere from three to five weeks.

some of the changes in the

our desire to install 6 most if not all of the
sites to be subdivided, whether or not they are ultimately
used. In some cases they are not requirad as the building
size does not require sprinklers, however, on larger sites
the building may he expanded in the future and then fire
lines may be required. Wa are presently working on plans
for an addition to the first building we built in the Park
and fire lines will now be necessary,
