Contractor personnel shall be thoroughly familiar with all phases of sewer line cleaning to insure satisfactory end results without causing damage to the sewer lines or adjacent property. PART 3 - EXECUTION 3.01 CLEANING EQUIPMENT A. Since the success of related work depends a great deal upon the cleanliness of the lines, the importance of the cleaning operation cannot be too strongly emphasized. The equipment selected for cleaning shall be capable of removing all dirt, grass, rocks and other deleterious materials from the sewer lines and manholes. Particular emphasis is placed on the removal of grease accumulations so that cracks and breaks can be observed during television inspection and so that joints can be isolated during testing and sealing operations. B. The Contractor shall make an inspection of the lines to be cleaned in order to determine the type of cleaning equipment that is required. It is anticipated that hydraulic cleaning will be adequate for most of the line segments. 5000 -Sewer -Cleaning 2 3.02 CLEANING REQUIREMENTS A. Prior to inspection, the designated sewer lines, as shown on the project drawings, will be thoroughly cleaned as specified below: 1. The sewer lines shall be cleaned by using standard mechanically powered or hydraulically propelled cleaning tools or combinations thereof, such as rodding machines, boring machines, hydraulic balls, cones, ferrets, or other similar devices. 2. All roots, sludge, dirt, sand, rock, grease and other solid or semi-solid material resulting from the cleaning operations shall be removed at the downstream manhole without passing the material from section to section, which could cause stoppage of the lines or accumulation in the wet well and damage to pumping equipment. When cleaning equipment is used, a debris catch riser as shown in the project specific or City engineering standard details shall be used in the downstream manhole so that both solids and water shall be trapped. All solids or semi-solids resulting from the cleaning operations shall be removed from the site and disposed of at no additional cost to the Owner. It the responsibility of the Contractor to secure a legal dump site for the disposal of this material. 3. Satisfactory precautions shall be taken to protect the sewer lines from damage that might be inflicted by the improper use of cleaning equipment. Whenever hydraulically propelled cleaning tools, which depend upon water pressure to provide their cleaning force or any tools which retard the flow of water in the sewer lines are used, precautions shall be taken to insure that the water pressure created does not cause any damage or flooding to public or private property being served by the manhole section involved. The flow of sewage present in the sewer lines shall be utilized to provide necessary fluid for hydraulic cleaning devices whenever possible. When additional quantities of water from fire hydrants are necessary to avoid delay in normal working procedures, the water shall be conserved and not used unnecessarily. No fire hydrant shall be obstructed or used when there is a fire in the area. Before using any water from the City water supply system, the Contractor shall obtain a hydrant meter from the Meter Department. The Contractor shall be responsible for the water meter and related charges for the setup, including the water usage bill. All expenses shall be considered incidental to cleaning. 4. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL SEWAGE OR SOLIDS REMOVED THEREFROM BE DUMPED ONTO STREETS OR INTO DITCHES, CATCH BASINS, STORM DRAINS OR SANITARY SEWER MANHOLES. 5000 -Sewer -Cleaning (THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK) END OF SECTION 5000 5000 -Sewer -Cleaning SECTION 5100 SEWER LINE TELEVISION INSPECTION PART 1 - GENERAL 1.01 WORK INCLUDED A.

Install a valved branch in the supply line past the shut-off valve terminating in a 1/4" female pipe thread for installation of the test gauge. C. Add air slowly to portion of pipe under test until test gauge reads at least 4 psig, but less than 5 psig. D. Shut air supply valve and allow at least two minutes for internal pressure to stabilize. 5200 -Sewer -Inspection 2 E. The pressure shall then be decreased to 3.5 psig. F. Upon reaching 3.5 psig, the time in minutes, seconds for the pressure to fall 1 psig so that pressure at the end of time of the test is at least 2.5 psig shall be observed. G. Compare observed time with minimum allowable times in the following chart for pass/fail determination. TEST CHART FOR AIR TESTING SEWERS Leakage Testing of Sewers by Low Pressure Air Loss (Time Pressure Drop Method) H. Where groundwater level is above the crown of the pipe being tested, increase test pressure at the rate of 1 psi for every 2.5 feet of water above the crown. Air Testing Safety Requirements: 1. Securely brace plugs used to close the sewer pipe for the air test; this is to prevent the unintentional release of a plug which can become a high velocity projectile. For example: four pounds (gauge) air pressure develops a force against the plug in a 12" diameter pipe of approximately 450 pounds; this force can propel a 12 -inch plug weighing 10 pounds to supersonic speeds. 2. Locate gauges, air piping manifolds, and valves at the top of the ground.

Water used for flushing shall be billed to the contractor at the current wholesale water rate plus applicable taxes. 2. The work shall be coordinated to ensure that it will not be carried on during periods of high water usage. Water valves or other appurtenances on the existing water system, new tapping valves, or valves or appurtenances that have been accepted by the City, shall only be operated by a City employee who has a valid ADH Water Operator's License and under the direct supervision of the City of Fayetteville Water & Sewer Maintenance Division. 3. The Contractor shall fill and flush the newly constructed lines and visually check all combination air release and vacuum valves, blow -off valve assemblies, line valves, fire hydrants, and meter setters to assure proper operation. 5300_Water Inspection 2 4. The Engineer of Record shall develop a flushing plan to ensure that all lines are properly flushed. The plan should specify the sequence in which valves and hydrants are to be opened and the duration thereof, ensuring complete flushing and protecting the City's water system from construction contaminated water. The volume to be flushed shall be no less than three (3) but no more than five (5) times the volume of the main to be flushed, and shall be metered by the City. The flow shall be such that a flushing velocity of not less than 2.5 feet per second and preferably 3.5 feet per second or greater is attained. C. Hydrostatic Testing 1. All pipe shall be tested as set out in AWWA C600, latest revision. Tests will be conducted only after the line is completed, including all taps and meter settings as required and the backfill completed. These tests shall be performed by the Contractor in the presence of the City Inspectors and the Engineer of Record. The Contractor shall furnish all necessary pressure gauges, meters, and pumps and make all taps and connections. 2. Each valved section of pipe shall be slowly filled with water and the specified test pressure shall be applied by means of a pump connected to the pipe in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer. Before applying the test pressure, all air shall be expelled from the pipe by permanent taps or corporation cocks where necessary. 3. Test pressure shall be either 150 percent of the static pressure at the lowest points or 200 psi, whichever is greater, not to exceed 250 psi at the lowest point. The contractor shall provide all pumps or other equipment necessary to maintain the test pressure within +1-5 psi at the test point for a period of two (2) hours. All interior valves including guardian valves on fire hydrants and other appurtenances shall be open during all tests. 4. The test pressure shall not vary by more than ± five (5) psi for the duration of the test. During the duration of the two hour test, if the test pressure drops more than 5.0 psi from the start pressure, the test shall be terminated and considered failure due to assumed leaks in the tested pipe section. If the pressure rises beyond the allowed 5 psi variance, the test shall be terminated and remaining air shall be purged from the pipeline. D. Leakage 1. The leakage test shall be conducted concurrently with the pressure test. Leakage shall be defined as the quantity of water that must be supplied into the newly laid pipe, or any valved section thereof, to maintain pressure within 5 psi of the above specified test pressure after the air in the pipeline has been expelled and the pipe has been filled with water. 5300_Water Inspection 2. The maximum allowable leakage rate shall be 1 gallon per foot diameter of pipe per 1000 feet of water line for the duration of the 2 hour test. D inches 6 1 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 24 36 42 Allowable 0.50 1 0.67 0.83 1.00 1.17 1.33 1.50 1.67 2.00 3.00 3.50 3. Upon completion of a two hour test where the test pressure did not vary by more than f five (5) psi, the CONTRACTOR shall determine the leakage amount by measuring the amount of "make-up" water necessary to restore the original starting pressure. 4. Should any test of pipe laid disclose leakage greater than that specified, the leak(s) shall be located and repaired and the line shall be re -tested at the Contractor's expense. All visible leaks shall be repaired regardless of the amount of leakage. It may be necessary to utilize leak detection equipment to locate not visible leaks at the Contractor's expense. 3.04 DISINFECTION A. After successful pressure testing, the line(s) shall be flushed at a velocity equal to or greater than 2.5 feet per second. The line shall then be disinfected in accordance with AWWA C651, latest revision, for Disinfecting Water Mains, continuous feed method, except that the placing of hypochlorite granules into the main during construction will not be permitted. B. The Contractor shall provide a test/chlorine tap no greater than 10' downstream from the beginning of the new water line. All excavation, installation, use of and proper abandonment of the test tap is the responsibility of the Contractor. C. The final concentration of chlorine inside the main shall be 25 parts per million (ppm) at all locations and shall be maintained for a minimum of 24 hours. The chlorine residual at the end of the 24 hour period shall not be less than 10 ppm. The contractor shall supply all test kits necessary to verify chlorine concentrations. D. The contractor shall operate all valves and hydrants in the treated section of water line during the initial 24 hours to ensure disinfection of the appurtenances. E. The contractor shall take great care when flushing the line to assure proper drainage is available to prevent harm at any adjacent downstream location. F. Disposal of the disinfecting water shall be in a manner that will protect the public and the receiving waters from harmful concentrations of chlorine. Decholorination of the 5300_Water Inspection 4 disinfecting water shall be in accordance with AWWA C655, Field Dechlorination, latest edition. A dechlorination plan shall be prepared by the Engineer of Record. G. After disinfection is complete, the Contractor shall then flush the disinfecting solution from the lines to a point that the chlorine concentration is back down to the same level as the treated water from the distribution system. The treated water lines will then be tested before being placed into service. 3.05 BACTERIOLOGICAL SAMPLES A. Bacteriological samples shall be taken by City personnel only. Samples shall be taken on two consecutive days and shall be taken only on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. Before a line is placed in service, two consecutive series of samples which are not collected on the same day and are taken no more than 4 days apart must show that the water is bacteriologically safe for drinking purposes. 3.06 FINAL VISUAL INSPECTION A. Upon completion of the above tests the Engineer will perform a final visual inspection of water pipelines and meters. B. A punch list of defects (including obvious running leaks) will be prepared and sent to the Contractor for correction at the Contractors' expense. 3.07 TRACER WIRE CONTINUITY TESTING A.

OP -1.1 POLICY: General. There have been numerous pipe configurations installed underground since the City of Fayetteville's sewer system was first designed and installed in 1889. This policy is correct and appropriate for over 99% of the situations found. It does not eliminate using sound judgment for the remaining 1% of the cases. Judgment calls shall be the responsibility of the Mayor or his designated representative, who is currently the Water/Sewer Maintenance Superintendent. Grandfather clauses do not apply in cases where public health and safety is compromised, and thus do not apply for sewer issues. Ordinance references are based on the City of Fayetteville Code of Ordinances as in effect on 1 April, 2003. 1. Connection permit required. [Section 51.035, City of Fayetteville Code of Ordinances]. "No unauthorized person shall uncover, make any connection with or opening into, use, alter, or disturb, any public sewer or appurtenance thereof without first obtaining a written permit from the approving authority. No permit shall be issued to allow any person to tie his property to the sewer system until the connection fee prescribed by Section 51.114 as presently amended or as may be amended in the future is paid. " OP -01 Page 2 of 10 2. Separate building sewer provided for every building;, exceptions. [Section 51.039, City of Fayetteville Code of Ordinances]. "A separate building sewer shall be provided for every building except as follows: (A) Where multiple buildings are constructed in an apartment complex or condominium on a single lot or tract of land which cannot be subsequently subdivided and sold in parcels, the individual buildings may be connected to a collector building sewer, provided that only one person is responsible for maintenance of the building sewer. (B) Temporary buildings, mobile homes, or similar portable structures may be connected to a building sewer installed to serve a previously constructed permanent building, provided that both the permanent and temporary buildings are located on the same lot. " The temporary status is null and void if the structure is in place for more than 365 days. At that time, a separate building sewer must be provided. Two buildings, or two parts of one building which may have different owners (i.e., townhouses) may not be attached to one 4" or 6" private service line. This has never been legally allowed. If two buildings, or two parts of one building which may have different owners, are attached to a single private service line, this situation must be corrected by the owners and each structure must have a dedicated tap onto the main. The only exceptions are listed above. Multiple structures hooked to one sewer service line are not covered by any grandfather clause, and the situation must be corrected. Condominiums and other structures which can have separate ownership must each have their own dedicated sewer service line which remains on the same lot/property as the building or portion of the building which it serves. 3. Service Line Crossing Adjacent Lots. Sewer service lines must run directly from the lot which they serve to the main without crossing another lot. The service may cross street right of way and/or the easement to access the main. It may not run parallel to the main, but can ran at an angle between 450 to and perpendicular to the main if the main is already installed prior to the development of said land and said service line will be no more than 60' in length within the combined easement/right of way area. Ownership is not the deciding factor; lot lines or parcel lines are the issue. Thus, if one Owner owns two adjacent lots, and builds on one lot, the service for this structure and lot cannot cross the other lot. If the service line would have to be more that 60' in length within the combined easement/right of way area, then the main must be extended so the service line can connect at a 90 ° angle to the main. 4. Sewer Mains Accessing Every Lot. Sewer mains shall be installed so as to adjoin each lot such that all service lines meet the above requirements. Sewer main extensions are the responsibility of the owner of the lot receiving the service. 5. Sewer Easements for Private Lines. Sewer line easements for private lines to cross adjacent lots are prohibited except in very rare cases. In general, these are when a given OP -01 Page 3 of 10 private residence tandem lot, containing only one structure which requires sewer service, is "landlocked" from a sewer main, all adjacent lots have legal access to a main, and the sewer line easement is collocated with an above ground access easement. Private easements shall not be used in cases where sewer main extensions are in the public best interest, such as where a sewer main shall be made accessible to other lots or where a future main may be required. 6. City and Owner Service Line Maintenance and Repair Responsibilities. There are two general situations which cover sewer service line configurations in the City of Fayetteville. The following two paragraphs explain City and Customer responsibilities for each of these situations. A. Situation 1, No City Cleanout is Present. If no City cleanout is present, the Customer owns the service lateral all the way to the main. They are responsible for any and all repairs, clearing any blockages, etc., with the following caveat. If there is a blockage under the paved or concreted portion of the street (from a vertical line drawn at the back of curb to the back of curb, or from the actual edge of the asphalt if no curb is present) which cannot be cleared via rodding or washing, then the City will repair the pipe under the street. If the blockage is determined to be caused by anything which should not be placed in a sewer line (grease, paper towels, toys, croquet balls, cleanout caps, sticks, gravel, kitty litter, or any other materials which are not allowed per the sewer use ordinance) then the Customer will be billed for the work. The burden of proof of the location of the blockage rests on the Customer. The City will meet the Customer or their representative (plumber, rooter, etc.) and try to help them determine the location of the blockage. The City will not place a City owned rod, camera, tape, or other item into the Customer's cleanout or sewer system to determine the location of a blockage- anything placed inside the pipe at this time must belong to or be working for the Customer. If the combined forces determine beyond a reasonable doubt that the blockage is under the street, then we will investigate as necessary to determine what type of repair is necessary. This is the only time we will place City tools inside the Customer's piping system. If there used to be a City cleanout and the cleanout has been removed or damaged, then the situation is the same as when there is no City cleanout present. If the blockage is outside the area of the paved or concreted portion of the street (from a vertical line drawn at the back of curb to the back of curb, or from the actual edge of the asphalt if no curb is present), then the City grants the property owner who owns the service line the right to perform maintenance on said service line within the easement and/or right of way. This includes work performed on both sides of the road or right of way, to include work performed under a sidewalk. OP -01 Page 4 of 10 B. Situation 2, City Cleanout is Present. A City cleanout is defined as a 4" cleanout located behind the curb or at the easement line (for back yard lines). These cleanouts are typically within 10' of the edge of the roadway or within 10' of the main, respectively. Cleanouts smaller than 4" are never City cleanouts, and are always the responsibility of the property owner. When a City cleanout is present, the City assumes ownership and responsibility for any blockages between the City cleanout and the main, and which can be cleared by rodding from the City cleanout. If the blockage is determined to be caused by anything which should not be placed in a sewer line (paper towels, toys, croquet balls, cleanout caps, sticks, gravel, kitty litter, or any other materials which are not allowed per the sewer use ordinance) then the owner will be billed for the work. Any blockages prior to the City cleanout shall be the Customer's responsibility. This includes any work to attach to the Customer's side of the tee or wye where the cleanout riser ties to the service lateral. 7. Billing. If a bill is required, the bill will be processed through the accounts receivable process, rather than by being added to the Customer's utility bill. If the bill is not paid or payment terms negotiated within 60 days of first issuance, then the bill will be transferred to the utility bill. Job costs will be based on an actual time and materials basis. Personnel rates will include the full hourly salary costs. 8. Use of old building sewers with new buildings. [Section 51.040, City of Fayetteville Code of Ordinances]. "Old building sewers, or portions thereof, may be used in connection with new buildings only when they are found on examination and test by the approving authority to meet all requirements of this subchapter. " Complete remodeling is included in the definition of "new building" if the remainder of the plumbing system is being replaced and must meet current plumbing codes, or if the value of the renovation is equal or grater than 50% of the value of the structure. The cost of this examination and test is borne by the Owner. Current Environmental Protection Agency regulatory requirements and plumbing codes require that the lines be completely water tight and capable of passing a test with pressurized air. In these cases, a new tap shall be purchased, with the note that the Owner would like to use the existing service lateral. If the latter is determined to be acceptable, then the Owner will be reimbursed the tapping fee less the actual cost of the inspection and testing. It is the owner's responsibility to identify the location of the service lateral. 9. Separation Between Water and Sewer Services. City sewer connections shall be made at least ten feet away from water connections. The sewer service shall have ten (10) feet of separation from the City portion of the water service, measured from the outside of the respective pipes. OP -01 Page 5 of 10 10. Service Line Unusual Installation Requirements. A. Exposed Ditch or Creek Crossings. To protect such service lines from the hazards of water flow, debris damage, freezing, leakage, drainage system maintenance, vandalism, and other factors, sewer service lines which are exposed or which have less than 12 inches of cover where they pass through or under a drainage ditch, creek, swale, intermittent stream, or any other feature whereby they have insufficient cover and/or are exposed shall have special protection in these areas. Sewer service lines in these circumstances shall be installed in a continuous smooth steel encasement across the entire exposed or shallow area. Water tight boots shall be installed on both ends of the steel encasement. Where the line is exposed, the encasement shall be anchored by concrete no less than two feet long along the length of the pipe and surrounding the pipe by six inches in all directions inside the bank. The concrete shall be placed against undisturbed soil in the same fashion as blocking on water lines. B. Pump Systems. Pump systems are sometimes required in the City of Fayetteville to provide sewer service to facilities which are physically lower than the sewer main which provides them service or in other special cases. Pumps for these type systems shall be grinder or solids handling type pumps specifically designed to handle sanitary sewage, the flow volume, and to pump against the head for the specific circumstance in which the pump is installed. Pumps designed for use with septic systems and for ground water sumps shall not be used for sanitary sewer uses. If physically possible, the service lines that come from these pumps shall flow to a gravity section of service lateral prior to entering the sewer main so as to enter the main with a standard four inch gravity flow service lateral connection. 11. Tapping Procedures. A. Making Taps. The City will make all taps on existing sewer mains, either by contract supervised by the City or by City crews. B. The City will provide a wooden stake that is marked "sewer". Please drive this stake in the ground at your property line where you need the service connection. If this is not done, the connection will not be made. Failure to place the stake promptly could delay your construction process. C. Write the desired depth of the service connection on the stake in feet and inches. (Note: Due to the depth of the sewer main, conflicts with other existing utilities, and other underground circumstances, it may not be possible at all times to achieve the desired depth, in which case the Owner and/or plumber will be notified by the City personnel). It is the owner's responsibility to determine if the depth is adequate for the service line. The City will not determine grades on either the service or the mains for purposes of determining whether a structure can tie onto a main using a gravity line. D. It is safer to wait for the service connection to be installed by the City so that the yard line's grade can be adjusted accordingly. This will assure that unnecessary OP -01 Page 6 of 10 bends will not be needed at the point of connection. Also, the plumber will have the exact depth to work with. The builder and/or plumber are responsible for determining grades and building elevations for service. The grade on the City installed portion of the service line can be affected by a number of factors which cannot be identified prior to installation, to include location and depth of other utilities, etc. E. The City service connection will terminate at the property line. However, the customer will be responsible for maintenance of that service line from the building to the City main. F. If the service connection exceeds sixty (60) feet in length (as in a street right- of-way crossing) the property owner will be charged for the excess footage. Prior arrangements must be made for long service connections. All other sewer service connections will consist of one joint of pipe or approximately ten (10) feet. In no case will the line stub out beyond the easement or right-of-way line. G. If the excavation for the tap exceeds eight (8) feet in depth, the property owner may be charged for excess time required to make the connection. Prior arrangements must be made for deep service connections. H. Permanently marking the location of the sewer service connection for future reference shall be the responsibility of the property owner. Unless the customer's plumber is on site, the City will backfill their entire excavation, to include the end of the stubbed out pipe, immediately. L The stubbed out piece of service pipe (coming from the new tap on the main) will be left plugged when installed. The customer's plumber is required to connect the customer's yard line to this piece of pipe. City crews will not connect the stub out from the tap to the customer's service line. J. If the City crews have to return to the site to make any adjustments which are necessitated because of the property owner's change of plans, the labor, materials, and equipment will be charged to the owner. K. A new sewer connection could take as long as four to six weeks or more. All connections are made on a first-come first-served basis, and the demand can fluctuate greatly. Jobs adjacent to or on Arkansas State Highway rights of way require a permit from the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department, which generally add an additional four weeks. Please allow enough time in your construction plans. 12. Taps Installed When Areas Are Developed. Sewer lines are generally installed when land is developed. Taps, with a section of private service line attached, are generally made for each lot at this time. The City and the lot owner rely on accurate information from the developer, his Engineer, and his contractor as to the location and grade of these taps and service lines. OP -01 Page 7 of 10 A. If a tap for a lot is installed when the sewer main is installed, the building on that lot is required to use the tap installed for that lot. B. If the service line coming off the main cannot be found by the owner or his representatives, then the owner is responsible to buy a tap from the City using the process described in this document. The Water/Sewer Superintendent will then determine if it is optimal to make a new tap or to televise to find the tap that is supposed to be present. If televising is performed and the cost of the televising is less than that of the purchased tap, then the difference between the two costs shall be reimbursed to the owner. If a tap is found by televising, the City will mark the location of the tap (at the main) for the owner. If no tap is found, the cost of the televising will not be added to the tapping fee. C. If a tap is not in the most desirable location due to slope, building design, etc., then all expenses related to making a different connection shall be paid by the owner. This includes installation of the new tap and proper abandonment of the tap which is not used. The latter involves excavating at the point of connection to the main and removing the connection to the main. The owner shall purchase a new tap paying the normal tap fee, and will pay the actual costs of abandoning the unused connection. D. Owners are responsible for hooking to the correct tap for that lot, as shown on the developer's as -built plans. If there is a discrepancy between the as -built drawings and the actual installation on the ground, that discrepancy must be resolved between the lot owner and the developer. If an owner inadvertently connects to a tap which is designated for an adjacent lot, then all costs of remediation for all involved lots shall be borne by the owner of the lot which connected to the incorrect tap. No additional taps shall be made until the lot which does not have a connection purchases a tap through the city Engineer's office, using the process described in this document. 13. Taps Prohibited on Transmission Mains Force Mains, and on Sewer Pump Station or Detention Basin Sites. For public health and building safety reasons, individual user or structure sewer taps shall not be made on transmission mains, defined as any sewer main 15" and larger, or any pressurized force mains. Dead end main line extensions off of transmission mains shall only be approved on a case by case basis, and may be rejected. Individual user sewer taps shall not be made on sewer pump station or detention basin sites. Taps for lots adjacent to these sites shall only be made on the collection (as opposed to transmission) mains outside these sites. 14. Control of Extraneous/Illegal Flows. It violates federal, state and local regulations to have any extraneous flows in the sewer system. These flows include but are not limited to rain water, ground water, sump pump water, water from area drains exposed to outside weather (including external stairwell drains, loading docks, etc.), defective pipe joints, defective cleanouts, cellar drains, catch basins, foundation drains, yard drains, and roof down spouts. These flows must be routed to the storm water system, and cannot be routed to the sewer system. Owners are responsible for maintaining their portion of the sewer system in such a way that these flows are prevented from entering the sewer system. OP -01 Page 8 of 10 A. Cleanout caps must be properly installed and must meet current plumbing codes. Caps shall not be removed to allow extraneous flows (ponded yard water, etc.) into the sanitary sewer system. B. If caps are removed such that they allow extraneous flows to enter the sewer system, the City shall replace the cap at the owner's expense. C. If the cap is removed after the first time the City replaces the cap, then a riser will be installed in the cleanout so that extraneous flows cannot enter the sewer system through the cleanout. All associated work will be billed to the owner. 15. Grease Control. Grease is a significant problem in our sewer system. Many people assume that running grease down the drain is okay, as long as they use plenty of hot water. Unfortunately, the hot water cools in the pipes, and the grease coagulates further down the line. Sometimes people assume that putting grease in the line through the garbage disposal or with cleansers is acceptable. These do not prevent the grease from coagulating in the pipes. No amounts of grease, cooking oil, animal fat grease or byproducts, cooking fats or solid animal fat or meat products can be put down any part of the sewer system. These materials should be disposed of in the trash. Grease covered pans or dishes should be wiped down first with a paper towel or rag, which should then be disposed of in the trash. 16. Items Which Are Allowed To Go Down the Sewer. A. Water from showers, bath tubs, dishwashers, laundry facilities, sinks and non - basement floor drains. B. Body wastes from toilets. C. Toilet paper. D. Household chemicals that are specifically designated for use in sinks, showers, and toilets. 17. Items Which Are Not Allowed To Go Down the Sewer. The following cannot be placed in a sewer system under any circumstances. Repair costs incurred due to a blockage caused by any of these items being placed in a sewer line, either intentionally or unintentionally, will be billed to the customer who owns or resides in the building to which the sewer line provides service. A. Grease of any type, to include cooking oil, cooking grease, cooked animal fats, etc. Grease should be handled as specified above. B. Meat, meat by products, animal fats. C. Paper towels. D. Feminine Hygiene Products, including those that claim to be "flushable." E. Any items greater than '/2" in any measured dimension except body wastes and toilet tissue. F. Chewing gum. OP -01 Page 9 of 10 G. Household chemicals other than those specifically designated for use in sinks, showers, and toilets. H. Baby wipes and other similar wipes, including those that claim to be "flushable." I. Kitty litter. J. Animal wastes. K. Diapers. L. Foreign materials such as toys, sticks, cleanout caps, gravel, etc. M. Air conditioner condensate. N. Uncontaminated cooling water from cooling towers. If said water is too hot to be discharged into the storm drain, the owner is responsible to hold the water until it cools enough to be discharged into the storm drain. Cooling tower water which is treated, and is thus contaminated, shall be discharged to the sanitary sewer. O. Clean or uncontaminated natural water to include but are not limited to rain water, ground water, sump pump water, water from area drains exposed to outside weather (including external stairwell drains, loading docks, etc.), defective pipe joints, defective cleanouts, cellar drains, catch basins, foundation drains, yard drains, and roof down spouts. These flows must be routed to the storm water system, and cannot be routed to the sewer system. Owners are responsible for maintaining their portion of the sewer system in such a way that these flows are prevented from entering the sewer system. P. Automobile or engine mechanical lubricant liquids, semi-liquid materials or solids. Q. Wastewater having a pH less than 5.0 or more thean 12.5, or otherwise causing corrosive structural damage to the wastewater collection system, the wastewater plant or equipment. R. Wastewater having a temperature greater than 150 degrees Fahrenheit (65° Q. S. Pollutants which create a fire or explosive hazard, to include but not limited to liquids with a closed -cup flashpoint of less than 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60° Q. T. Pollutants which result in the presence of toxic gasses, vapors, or fumes within the collection system or wastewater treatment plant which may cause the potential for acute worker health and safety problems. U. Wastewater which imparts color which cannot be removed by the treatment process, to include but not limited to dye, wastes and vegetable tanning solutions which consequently impart color to the treatment plant's effluent. V. Any radioactive wastes or isotopes except in compliance with applicable federal or state regulations and approved by the City. W. Medical wastes. 18. Access to Easements. The City of Fayetteville is required by federal law to properly operate and maintain its utilities. Doing this requires periodic work on said utility system to include but not limited to clearing easements, adjusting manholes to grade, inspecting manholes and cleanouts, installing and inspecting marking signs, locating lines, testing lines with dye and smoke, televising lines, washing lines, and more. In order to do this work, City employees and contractors working for the City are required by law to access the pipe. This often requires crossing private property to get to our easement. By having OP -01 Page 10 of 10 an easement on a lot, these workers are granted the legal right to cross said lot to get to the utility easement. Lots containing an easement shall have a double wide gate installed to allow vehicular access to the main. APPENDIX B WATER SERVICE LINE AND CONNECTION POLICY (THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK) OP -02 Page 1 of 6 CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS POLICY AND PROCEDURE Subject: WATER SERVICE LINE AND CONNECTION POLICY Policy Number: OP -02 Original Policy Date: June 23, 1988 Effective Date of New/Revised Policy: August 1, 2005 Revision Dates: July 21, 2005 Custodian: (Division) WATER AND WASTEWATER Mayor's Signature and Date OP -2.0 PURPOSE: To establish a uniform policy concerning water service lines and water service connections. OP -2.1 POLICY General. There have been numerous pipe configurations installed underground since the City of Fayetteville's water system was first designed and installed in 1889. This policy is correct and appropriate for over 99% of the situations found. It does not eliminate using sound judgment for the remaining 1% of the cases. Judgment calls shall be the responsibility of the Mayor or his designated representative, who is currently the Water/Sewer Maintenance Superintendent. Grandfather clauses do not apply in cases where public health and safety is compromised, and thus do not apply for water system issues. 1. Tapping Procedures. A. Making Taps. The City will make or supervise all taps on existing water mains, either by City crews making the tap or by contract supervised by the City Engineering inspectors. B. When the tap is purchased, the City will provide a wooden stake that is marked "water" and with the size of the connection to be made. Please drive this stake in the ground on the City side of your property line where the center of the meter box is to OP -02 Page 2 of 6 be located. If this is not done, the connection will not be made. Failure to place the stake promptly could delay your construction process. C. Double water service connections should be placed at the common property line for the two addresses being served, when applicable. D. The meter box will be installed at the existing grade unless otherwise specified. If special instructions are necessary, please make an appointment with a Water and Sewer Division service representative and give instructions at that time. Making a special note and attaching it to the tap paperwork when the tap is purchased will reduce potential delays for special requirements. The owner is responsible for knowing the final grade, as required by the owner's work or ordinances which govern the grade for sidewalks and trails, and areas parallel to streets, drainage ways, etc. E. Meter boxes are generally located on the City side of the property line (edge of easement and/or right of way). If you have a special situation, consult with a Water/Sewer Department service representative. Deviations are only approved on a case- by-case basis, and may not be approved. If the Water/Sewer Department feels the meter box needs to be located at a different location other than where staked, a field representative will contact the individual who purchased the tap. F. When locating your meter box, please avoid the following: driveways, sidewalks, parking lots, enclosed areas, drainage ditches, flower beds, and low areas where water stands. Meters shall not be installed in or allowed to remain in driveways or areas where meter readers cannot easily get to the meter box to read the meter. They will not be installed in locations where the meter box will regularly be filled with ground water, nor in places where it is difficult for a meter reader to get to the meter to read it. When driveways are constructed or created with either gravel, asphalt, concrete, or any other similar material, existing water meters shall be moved out of the driveway area at the owner's expense. G. The connection to the customer's side of the meter is done by the customer's plumber after the meter loop and box is in place. The plumber will tie the yard line to the service pipe that is stubbed out of the meter box, City crews will not make this connection. Pressure regulators shall be installed no closer than 5 feet from the water meter box. H. Connections are made on a first come first served basis, and could take three to six weeks or more to be installed, depending on workload. In cases of connections in or adjacent to Arkansas State Highways or railroads, a permit must first be obtained which often takes up to an additional six weeks. This will greatly lengthen the tap process. I. City water connections shall be made at least ten (10) feet away from sewer connections. The City portion of the water service shall have ten (10) feet of separation from the sewer service, measured from the outside of the respective pipes. OP -02 Page 3 of 6 J. Connections shall not be made in circumstances where they will degrade the operating pressure or flow available to existing domestic or building water meters. In these cases, the owners requiring the connection shall be responsible for increasing the capacity on the City's water distribution system such that the required capacity is available. 2. Water Meter Adjustments. If City crews have to return to the site to make any adjustments on the meter box which are necessitated because of the property owner's change of plans, such as landscaping, driveway location, grade, etc., all labor, materials and equipment costs shall be charged to the owner. This also applies to meters which are installed by a developer when a development is first constructed and to preexisting meters. 3. Service Line Depth. A water service line must have at least 24" of ground cover to prevent freezing. If the grade is changed such that the service line does not have sufficient cover, the service line must be lowered so that it does have sufficient cover. The labor, materials and equipment costs will be charged to the owner. 4. Access to and Visibility of Water Meters. A. Brush, landscaping or other items which cause the meter box to be difficult to see from the right-of-way or easement, or which causes difficulty for meter readers to get to the box, shall be removed at the owner's expense. This includes plants, decorative landscaping, retaining walls, private side walks, stairs, decks, large decorative rocks, concrete statues, and other similar items. These shall not be placed over the City's portion of the service line or within two feet of the box on the customer's side of the box, three feet of the box parallel to the edge of the right of way or easement, or at all on the City's side of the right of way or easement. B. Meters shall be accessible without going through fences or gates except in special circumstances. C. Meters shall be placed on the City side of any private retaining walls of any type, including those constructed immediately beside the sidewalk. The City portion of the service line shall not go under any type of private wall or other structure. 5. Owner Responsibility. The owner is responsible for the service line from the outside edge of the meter box to the home. This includes the point where the plumber hooks up to the tail piece which comes out of the meter loop, and any pressure regulator or other hardware installed on the owner's side of the meter box. 6. Irrigation Taps. The City reserves the right to refuse to make irrigation taps, if said tap has the potential to degrade the operating pressure or flow available to domestic or building water meters. In general, irrigation taps shall not be made on mains which are 3" or smaller. Irrigation meters and irrigation systems shall not be installed on double OP -02 Page 4 of 6 meters servicing another residence, as this can degrade the other residence's water pressure. The City must maintain positive control over the amount of flow on marginal irrigation installations, The City shall not rely on verbal or written commitments from the owner, as owners change and companies and individuals operating and maintaining irrigation systems can not be reasonably expected to pass information regarding agreed upon flow restrictions through the life of the irrigation system. Flow tests shall not be used to change this policy, as the water line flow will gradually degrade with time and with peak usage, and the flow test represents only the best case situation. 7. Two Inch Taps. Two inch taps shall not be made on any mains 3" or smaller. If a customer requires a two inch (2") tap and if said tap has the potential to degrade the operating pressure or flow available to other domestic or business meters, then the customer, at his expense, shall be responsible to reinforce the water distribution system such that the point demand from the two inch meter shall not degrade the operating pressure or flow available to other domestic or business meters. 8. Sewer Service Required. Water services can not be installed until after the lot has legal, approved and installed access to public sewer or an a septic system approved by the Arkansas Department of Health. 9. Relocating Existing Meters. Meters are typically located on the City side of the easement or right of way. In the past, some meter boxes were placed further in the property than the easement or right of way. These meters shall be moved to the property line at such time as the City side of the meter loop needs work or needs to be replaced. The existing yard line will remain in service as long as it meets the current plumbing codes and has had no documented problems. The new meter location will conform to this policy. Meters shall be placed on the City side of any private retaining walls of any type, including those constructed immediately beside the sidewalk. The City portion of the service line shall not go under any type of private wall, sign, or other structure. Meters shall not be allowed to remain in a driveway. 10. Site Restoration. In the event maintenance work is required on a service line, meter, or meter box, the site restoration will match that done for main line repairs. The utility shall repair only the following in an easement area or within two feet of the meter box: grass, asphalt, normal (standard) concrete, irrigation systems which are damaged, mail boxes which are damaged, and/or private wiring (such as for on -premises lighting, etc.) which is damaged. The City shall not pay for relocation, repair, or damage caused to any landscaping, unusual concrete, plants, planters, playground equipment, decorative rock, rip rap, and other items placed on the easement or within two feet of the meter box. The latter items can be removed by the City, at the owner's expense, if their movement is required to make a repair. OP -02 Page 5 of 6 11. Water Service Line Location. A. Crossing Public Easements or Rights of Way. The customer's portion of a water service line shall not be installed in a public easement or right of way, except for the last two feet required to access the meter box. B. Service Line Crossing Adjacent Lots. Water service lines must run directly from the lot which they serve to the main without crossing another lot. The service may cross street right of way and/or the easement to access the main. It may not run parallel to the main, but can run at an angle between 450 to and perpendicular to the main. Ownership is not the deciding factor; lot lines and separate property parcels are the deciding factor. Thus, if one owner owns two adjacent lots, and builds on one lot, the service for this structure and lot cannot cross the other lot. 12. Water Mains Accessing Every Lot. Water distribution mains shall be installed so as to adjoin each lot such that all service lines meet the above requirements. Installing and paying for water main extensions is the responsibility of the owner of the lot receiving the service. 13. More Than One Water Main Available. In cases where more than one water main is available to a given lot, the City reserves the right to decide which main may be used to provide service to that lot. This is required in cases where some mains are on different pressure planes, where some lines have a longer life expectancy than others, etc. 14. Water Easements for Private Lines. Water line easements for private lines to cross adjacent lots are prohibited except in very rare cases. In general, these are when a given for private residence tandem lot containing only one structure which requires water service, wherein the lot is "landlocked" from a water main, all adjacent lots have legal access to a main, and the water line easement is collocated with an above ground access easement. Private easements shall not be used in cases where water main extensions are in the public best interest, such as where a water line shall be made accessible to other lots, where a future main may be required, where a water main loop is desirable to provide better public service, or where fire protection is required. 15. Use of old building water service lines with new or renovated buildings. Old building water service lines may be used in connection with new buildings only when they are found on examination and test by the approving authority to meet all current plumbing requirements. Complete remodeling is included in the definition of "new building" if the remainder of the plumbing system is being replaced and must meet current plumbing codes, or if the value of the renovation is equal or grater than 50% of the value of the structure. The cost of this examination and test is borne by the Owner. In these cases, a new tap should be purchased, with a note that the Owner would like to use the existing service line. If the latter is determined to be acceptable, then the Owner will be reimbursed the OP -02 Page 6 of 6 tapping fee less the actual cost of the inspection and testing. It is the owner's responsibility to identify the location of the service line. 16. Taps Prohibited on Transmission Mains and on Water Tank or Pump Station Sites. Individual user water taps shall not be made on transmission mains, defined as any water main 16" and larger. Main line extensions off of transmission mains shall only be approved on a case by case basis, and may be rejected. Individual user water taps shall not be made on water tank or pump station sites. Taps for lots adjacent to these sites shall only be made on the distribution (as opposed to transmission) mains outside these sites. 17. Water Pressure Provided. A. The City shall provide normal operating water pressure of at least 25 pounds per square inch (psi) at the City's side of the meter loop. The City does not guarantee this water pressure at all times, as the pressure will occasionally be lowered or the mains may have to be turned off for scheduled and unscheduled maintenance. It is possible that some customers at some locations shall need a pump on their side of the meter to provide the pressure desire for their water use. These pump systems cannot have such capacity that they reduce pressure on the City's main such that degrade the operating pressure or flow available to existing customers. B. Taps shall not be made for locations where there is not a reasonable expectation of the City being able to provide 25 psi operating pressure at the City's side of the meter under summer high flow operating conditions. C. The water pressure at the City's side of the meter may exceed that for which domestic plumbing is designed. If the pressure at the City's side of the meter exceeds 70 psi, the owner is required to install a pressure regulator on his system on his side of the meter. The pressure regulator is the owner's property and responsibility. 18. Access to Easements. The City of Fayetteville is required by federal law to properly operate and maintain its utilities. Doing this requires periodic work on said utility system to include but not limited to clearing easements, checking valve boxes, raising, exercising and operating valves, installing and inspecting marking signs, locating lines and more. In order to do this work, City employees and contractors working for the City are required by law to access the pipe. This often requires crossing private property to get to our easement. By having an easement on a lot, these workers are granted the legal right to cross said lot to get to the utility easement. Lots containing an easement shall have a gate installed to allow vehicular access to the main.
