Dear Ms. Huang:
The purpose of this letter is to inform you of the procedures you need to follow to finalize
the installation of a new water service for this project. Basically, you will need to hire a
contractor to perform the work to our standards and under our inspection. It is suggested, but not
required, that you contact one of our general contractors to have this work performed. They are
West Valley Construction at (408) 371-5510, and Lewis & Tibbitts at (408) 925-0220. In any
case, your contractor must possess a valid license to perform this type of work, and must obtain a
permit from the City of Cupertino to do the job.
Based on the data that was provided on our water service questionnaire, our Engineering
Department has determined that a 1'/z" copper service with a check valve needs to be installed for
this house. The piping from the check valve/meter to the house should also be 1'/2" in size. By
copy of this letter, we are informing the City of Cupertino of our determination, and I have
enclosed our standard service drawing that details an approved installation. The meter/check
valve (service connection) defines the point at which you receive service, and the point where the
owner's piping begins. The owner of the property is responsible for all piping and equipment past
the check valve.
Please note that in addition to the check valve in the meter box, you must also install a
rubber seated single check valve (property of the owner) on the internal plumbing of the house.
The location of the check valve must be where the fire sprinkler piping tees off from the domestic
piping. Also, the water pressure in this area is over 80 PSI (approximate range at the meter will
be 95 - 104 PSI). San Jose Water Company recommends that a pressure regulator be installed on
private service lines that will prevent pressure in excess of 80 PSI from entering the structure.
Please contact your plumber regarding this matter.

If you would like to proceed with the service work, please sign, date, and return this letter
with a construction deposit as discussed below. Also include the address where the monthly
billings should be sent. Monthly billings start when the meter is installed, and a copy of our rate
schedule is enclosed for your information. You must also submit a deposit in the amount of$829
to cover the cost of our reviews and inspection, and the purchase and installation of the new meter
and check valve. Please make your check payable to San Jose Water Company.
At the appropriate time, you will need to provide our Construction Department at least one
week notice for inspection services. Your contact is Nick Bernhardt, who can be reached at (408)
279-7830. A San Jose Water Company inspector must witness the actual tap of the water main.
Once the service lateral and meter box have been installed and approved, we can install the meter
and check valve at.your request.
If you have any questions, or require further information, please contact me at (408) 279-
7800, extension 5805.
