We reserved judgment on the issue of jurisdiction until after the Hearing on the Merits stating. The case involves complex issues and a record more extensive than is appropriate under the dispositive process to determine jurisdiction. The Town operates its municipal water system. When reviewing its 1995 Draft Water System Comprehensive Plan, the Town discovered that the current water supply capacity will not satisfy the future needs of the Town's residents. This Ordinance limits the size and number of new water meters within the Town.
New parcels can have only one water connection and only one water meter.
In addition, the water meter generally cannot exceed one inch in diameter. This is a Final Order under RCW 36.70A.300 for purposes of appeal.
