Re: New 1” Irrigation Meter ~ Proposed Property Address: 3298 Ingleside Avenue
Dear Charles Green,
The Macon Water Authority (MWA or the Authority) has reviewed your request for information regarding the installation of a 1” irrigation water meter at the subject property. Per the information provided to the Authority, the new irrigation water service will be utilized to irrigate the subject property. The new irrigation service will be extended from the existing 4” water main within the right-of-way of Ingleside Avenue and set on the subject property. The Authority will perform a 4” x 1” tap & set a 1” meter (with E-Coder) for a cost of $1,490.00. A pavement cut is required for the performance of the work; therefore, an additional cost of $360.00 will be required to repair the asphalt pavement.
We require a Double Check (DC) backflow prevention device to be installed on the water line, on the customer side, before the service is extended. The Contractor will be responsible for the installation of the backflow prevention devices and the extension of the private services from the meters. A “Certified Backflow Prevention Tester” shall test the backflow preventers at the time of installation and yearly thereafter. A copy of the reports must be submitted to the
Macon Water Authority, Attn: Mr. Cole Dove, via email ([email protected]) or fax (478-738-3864). All backflowprevention devices must be installed and tested within seven (7) business days after meter installations and established use of the meter accounts. Failure to comply with these requirements will result in compliance charges ($100.00 per day) and/or termination of water service.
The costs stated herein are good for ninety (90) days from the date of this letter. Please contact Applications in our Customer Care department at (478) 464-5616 regarding the application fees ($25.00), any other applicable fees, payment terms and all customer service account related inquiries. These fees must be paid prior to the performance of the work and/or installation of the meter. The work is hereby approved/released by Engineering and a work order can be issued upon payment of fees.
Sincerely,
Jarvis Fennelle Jarvis Fennelle Engineering Technician I

shall describe the conditions for this action to take place.
1. The Contractor must obtain written permission from the Architectural client,
that the Architect does not object to providing electronic copies when AH&P is
hired by an Architect to perform Engineering services.

directly), Contractor must obtain permission of AH&P to obtain electronic
copies.
3. If approval by Architect or Engineer (as noted above) is obtained, Contractor
may obtain electronic copies based on the following rates: $25 per sheet, with
minimum $200 per project.
4. Contractor shall mail a copy of the check to AH&P, payable to AH&P and shall
sign the enclosed indemnification letter, and send this letter to AH&P, along
with requested sheets. If time is of essence, a copy of the check and
indemnification may be faxed as evidence of the Contractor’s intent to mail
said documents.
5. Upon receiving the check or faxed copy, and signed indemnification letter,
electronic copies of requested sheets shall be provided. AH&P reserves the
right to alter the electronic copies by removing Professional Engineering
Stamp, title block information, company logo, and similar information that is
not relevant to the Contractor’s needs. Contractor shall indicate the desired
