Subject: Caldwell Widening from S. Santa Fe to Lovers Ln.
To Whom It May Concern:
The estimated cost of installing Facilities for the Caldwell widening S. Santa Fe to Lovers Ln project in Visalia is $169,844.00, including $ 2515.00 for state and federal taxes. Please see the detailed cost estimate for Form 1290 B attached.
Please submit your check in the full amount to California Water Service, attention Allison Schackmann, at 216 N. Valley Oaks Drive, Visalia, CA 93292, with a completed W9 form. (W-9 forms are attached for your convenience.)
Upon completion of the work, an adjustment will be made to any difference between the estimated installation and income tax cost (amount deposited) and the actual cost of the work.
Should it be necessary to make the main connection/installation after hours or on a weekend, it may result in a cost overrun. The difference will be refunded to the applicant if the actual cost is less than the amount deposited. If the actual cost exceeds the amount deposited, the applicant will be invoiced for the difference. California Water Service will own the facilities installed.
If additional sources of water supply, irrigation service, and/or multiple services are on the property section I, page I-4 of the State of California Health and Welfare Agency Guidance Manuel for Cross Connection Control states that “The water user (property owner or consumer) has the primary responsibility to keep contaminants out of the potable water system. This responsibility begins at the user connection and includes any and all water distribution piping on the premises.
If a cross connection or the potential for a cross connection exists, the water user shall install, have tested, and maintain backflow preventers at his own expense as directed by the water supplier or the health agency. The water user should be careful not to create cross connections when modifying their plumbing system.”
Quality. Service. Value.

If an easement(s) is required, it is the developer’s responsibility to have the easement description written along with a plat drawing and submitted to California Water Service Company for review and approval. Once approved, the written description must be on our “Right of Way for Pipeline” form.
The applicant is responsible for marking any easements, right-of-way, or property lines in the field.
Please indicate your acceptance of the foregoing terms and conditions by signing at the bottom of this letter, returning one copy to this office with the required balance due deposit and completed W9 form. Because pipes and other materials may not be available on short notice, we urge you to contact us at your earliest convenience. The estimate is submitted as preliminary information only. Estimated costs, therefore, expire after 30 days.
