When de- <br />veloped, the subject site will connect to both of these water lines in order to pro- <br />vide for a looped system to serve the entire site. Water pressure and flow tests <br />have been conducted and analyzed to determine the size of water lines needed to <br />serve the site to provide for bath domestic and fire protection needs. <br />Fire protection services provided by the Orange Rmal Fire District will he sup- <br />ported by this extension of the public water system and hydrants within the pro- <br />posed development. <br />Sasrimsy sewer service is proposed to he extended to the subject sift from the <br />Meadowlands development located about one -half mile were of Lawrence Road <br />on Business US 70.
