(a) [Policy No. 4] New school facilities should locate within the Sequim urban growth area or Carlsborg rural commercial activity center where public facilities and services needed to support the school facilities (e.g., water, sewer, transportation, fire and police) can be efficiently provided.

(b) [Policy No. 5] School facilities necessary to support development should be adequate to serve the development at the time the development is available for occupancy and use, or a financial commitment is in place to complete the improvements within six years without decreasing current service levels below established minimum standards.

(a) [Policy No. 7] Public water systems should be provided within designated urban growth areas, rural centers, rural villages, and rural commercial activity centers. Public or municipal water systems (i.e., PUD and City of Sequim) should be limited in rural lands to those areas that can demonstrate water quantity limitations, water quality problems or hydraulic continuity to rivers and streams.

(b) [Policy No. 8] Extension or the existence of public water service in designated rural areas or resource lands shall not result in or be justification for higher density than that anticipated by a regional or subarea comprehensive plan.

(d) [Policy No. 10] Water systems necessary to support development shall be adequate to serve the development at the time the development is available for occupancy and use.

(4) Fire Protection. [Policy No. 11] Fire protection and suppression facilities in urban areas should receive first priority. Fire flow (e.g., fire hydrants) in rural areas should not be required of new development or extension of public water systems except for commercial/industrial uses and public facilities.

(5) Other Governmental Services. [Policy No. 12] Clallam County and other governmental service providers should continually monitor the population growth, age and other demographic characteristics of the population to determine the need for new or expanded services.

(6) Sanitary Waste Disposal. Please see County-wide Comprehensive Plan policies for specific reference to sanitary waste disposal within and outside urban growth areas.
