Central Arkansas Water:
All Central Arkansas Water requirements in effect at the time of request for water service must be
met.
The Little Rock Fire Department needs to evaluate this site to determine whether additional public
and/or private fire hydrant(s) will be required. If additional fire hydrant(s) are required, they will
be installed at the Developer's expense.
Please submit plans for water facilities and/or fire protection system to Central Arkansas Water
for review. Plan revisions may be required after additional review. Contact Central Arkansas
Water regarding procedures for installation of water facilities and/or fire service. Approval of

i,rEM NO.: 4 (CON'T) (Z -5027-C
plans by the Arkansas Department of Health Engineering Division and Little Rock Fire
Department is required.
If there are facilities that need to be adjusted and/or relocated, contact Central Arkansas Water.
That work would be done at the expense of the developer.
Contact Central Arkansas Water regarding the size and location of the water meter.
Due to the nature of this facility, installation of an approved reduced pressure zone backflow
preventer assembly (RPZ) is required on the domestic water service. This assembly must be
installed prior to the first point of use. Central Arkansas Water (CAW) requires that upon
installation of the RPZA, successful tests of the assembly must be completed by a Certified
Assembly Tester licensed by the State of Arkansas and approved by CAW. The test results must
be sent to CAW's Cross Connection Section within ten days of installation and annually thereafter.
Contact the Cross Connection Section at 377-1226 if you would like to discuss backflow
prevention requirements for this project.
The facilities on-site will be private. When meters are planned off private lines, private facilities
shall be installed to Central Arkansas Water's material and construction specifications and
installation will be inspected by an engineer, licensed to practice in the State of Arkansas.
Execution of Customer Owned Line Agreement is required.
Fire sprinkler systems which do not contain additives such as antifreeze shall be isolated with a
double detector check valve assembly. If additives are used, a reduced pressure zone backflow
preventer shall be required.
This development will have minor impact on the existing water distribution system. Proposed
water facilities will be sized to provide adequate pressure and fire protection.
