EXISTING CAPITAL FACILITIES & FORECAST FUTURE NEEDS WATER SYSTEM PLAN The City owns, operates, and manages a Group A community water system. The City obtains its drinking water supply from Domerie Creek, a tributary of the Cle Elum River, and has an agreement with Kittitas County Water District No. 2 to provide wholesale water to the community of Ronald. The water distribution system was constructed in the City between 1890 and 1920, consisting of }'z-inch to 8-inch steel and galvanized pipe. In 1968, roughly 11,560 feet of 10-inch tar-lined steel pipe was installed to serve the High School. In 1992, a water system improvement project was funded by a Farmers Home Administration grant and loan package and a Public Works Trust Fund loan. The water system improvement project included replacement of the entire distribution system, with the exception of the 10-inch piped described above, and installation of source, residential and commercial meters. The City's existing water service area consisted of approximately 430 acres, including area within the City's corporate limits, and some areas outside the City limits along SR 903 to the High School, Horvatt Road, and Nelson Dairy Road. The City serves approximately 754 customers. The City has a water rights claim to Domerie Creek dating back to 1908. In 2005, with the assistance of a Department of Ecology grant, the City purchased 238 acre-feet of water rights from a private seller, whoever those rights have not yet been transferred to the City. The City's Water Reservoir consists of a one-million gallon poly-propylene lines and covered reservoir located above the City to the West at an elevation of 2,460 feet. The highest water service site points in Roslyn are at an elevation of approximately 2,100 feet. The reservoir was built in the early 1920s, re- lined in 1939, lined with poly-propylene in 1998, and covered in 1999. The reservoir has a 12-inch intake pipe, a 16-inch outlet pipe serving the City and two overflow pipes. The reservoir is considered adequate for fire suppression needs. The reservoir was completely re-fenced with 6-foot high chain link fencing in 2000, paid for by grant monies from USDA Rural Development. Each two to three years, the City hires a scuba diver to clean the reservoir. The water system area includes Kittitas County Water District #2 (Ronald) the entire City of Roslyn and the Cle Elum-Roslyn school complex. The school has its own lO-inch line that was installed in 1968. The City parks and cemeteries are also served. The entire in-town distribution system was replaced in 1992, solving many problems of chronic leaks, low pressure, poor fire flow and outdated hydrants. Approximately 11 miles of new PVC and ductile iron were installed. NO PROJECTS FORECASTED: WATER TREATMENT PLANT & OPERATIONS BUILDING -7881 SR 903 The Water Filtration building was built in 1998.
