Re: North Pointe Apartments Section 1E Phase A Plans
Dear GW Real Estate Partners:
The plan, entitled North Pointe Apartments Section lE Phase A, dated 1/17/23, last revised, 1/17/23,
is hereby approved for construction. Any previously approved plans are voided with this approval.
This approval is for basic compliance with the General Water & Sewer Construction Specifications
of the Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA) and does not relieve the contractor from
responsibility for his work as it relates to the plan and specifications. This approval is valid for a
period of 18 months from the approval date. If construction is not in progress at the end of this time
period, the approval shall be void.
A copy of the approved plan shall be on the job site throughout construction and shall be modified by
the contractor to show as -built conditions. It is the contractor's responsibility to provide this
information to you and your consultant for use in developing the final as -built plan, which shall be
submitted in the format of one paper copy and one PDF copy.
A preconstruction conference is required prior to the start of construction. I can be reached at (434)
977-4511 Ext. 158 to schedule the meeting. The preconstruction conference will help to ensure
project coordination, clarify Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA) requirements pertaining
to construction, and answer any questions you may have. Enclosed are copies of our "Utility
Inspection Policy," "Letter of Dedication," and "As -Built Guide" for your information. These
documents should be reviewed before the preconstruction conference.
A water construction inspection fee will be invoiced to you at the beginning of the project. The
inspection fee for this project is 2,199.60 for the water system and $0.00 for the sewer system, for a
total of $2,199.60.
A plan review fee will be invoiced to you shortly. It will be based upon the actual time of plan review
billed at the current hourly rate established by the Board of Directors of the ACSA. At the end of the
project, you will also be invoiced for an as -built plan review fee. It will be billed in the same manner
as the plan review fee.

The ACSA cannot set permanent water meters until construction has been completed and approved
for operation and recordation of the deed of easement and easement plat for the utility easements has
occurred. The deed of easement and easement plat for the utility easements shall be reviewed and
approved by the ACSA prior to recordation. Copies of the as -built plan and Letter of Dedication shall
be submitted as soon as possible following installation of the utility systems. Timely submission of
these documents will help you avoid delays in receiving utility service.
Please be advised the Albemarle County Department of Community Development is instructed to
hold the (water/sewer) bond amount at a minimum value of 20% of the original amount until the
dedication of the utility systems is completed.
The ACSA has reviewed the proposed development and has determined that as of this date there is
an adequate supply of water and/or adequate sewer capacity to serve the development. Water and/or
sewer connections to the ACSA system are allotted on a first -come, first -served basis at the time
connection fees are paid. The ACSA does not reserve capacity in its system for a specific project.
Approval of water and/or sewer utilities for this project does not constitute a guarantee of future
service.
Due to the likelihood of corrosive soils in the project area, the need for polyethylene encasement may
be required on the ductile iron water main. Soil testing may be performed to determine corrosiveness
of soils, but it will be in the ACSA's sole judgment to determine if polyethylene encasement will be
installed.
The pressure for water will exceed 80 psi at meter locations.
A backflow prevention (BFP) assembly is required for all water services on the project. A BFP
assembly is also required for all underground irrigations systems and fire suppression systems. All
BFP assembly installations shall be in compliance with the Rules and Regulations of the Albemarle
County Service Authority, Section 8.
If you have any questions or if we may be of assistance, please give us a call at (434) 977-4511.
