§ 51.10. WATER/SEWER SERVICE AND EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION POLICY.

Latest version.

The following shall be the minimum requirement when installing water/sewer service line or modifying existing property water/sewer systems in the city with the property owner being liable for their contractor adhering to these requirements.
(A) A city application for service form must be completed prior to any water/sewer installation, either by the contractor or the property owner. Precise location coordinates and/or as-built drawings will be provided to the city by the contractor.
(B) Existing water and sewer regulations will apply.
(C) The contractor will furnish and install a coated, solid copper tracer wire on all non- conductive water/ sewer service lines in the trench alongside the pipe. Wire color will be blue for water and green for sewer.
(D) The tracer wire must be 12-gauge minimum and run continuously without splices for the full length of the service line, from the building to water or sewer main. If splicing is necessary, a direct buy splice kit is required.
(E) The tracer wire shall daylight at the point of entry at the foundation of the building through PVC conduit and a blank box as a future contact point to locate the service.
(F) Tracer wire will be installed on all new water main installations in the street/roadway and will come to the surface at every fire hydrant for termination.
(G) Depending on the circumstances of a specific installation, the Public Works Department may also require that tracer wire be run to curb boxes, clean-outs or fire hydrants.
