In order to construct, install, alter, renovate, operate, or improve a Class A or B public water system, or any part of one, the owner must have prior written approval of engineering plans that comply with the requirements of 18AAC80.205. Written approval under this section is not required for an emergency repair or routine maintenance of a public water system or a single service line installation or modifications. Engineering drawings and calculations for a public water system must be submitted under the seal and signature of a registered engineer. The plan review and approval process consists of two major stages:

1. Approval to Construct
2. Approval to Operate

The agency encourages applicants, engineers and system owners to contact local plan review staff for assistance.

These are some of the necessary forms for DW Engineered Plans submittals.
