A.ย
New sanitary sewers and all extensions to sanitary sewers owned and
operated by the Village shall be designed, by a professional licensed
to practice sewer design in the state, in accordance with the Recommended
Standards for Sewage Works, as adopted by the Great Lakes - Upper
Mississippi River Board of State Sanitary Engineers ("Ten State Standards"),
and in strict conformance with all requirements of the NYSDEC. Plans
and specifications shall be submitted to, and written approval shall
be obtained from, the Superintendent, the County Health Department,
and the NYSDEC, before initiating any construction. The design shall
anticipate and allow for flows from all possible future extensions
or developments within the immediate drainage area.
B.ย
If, however, there is inadequate capacity in any sewer which would
convey the wastewater or if there is insufficient capacity in the
POTW treatment plant to treat the wastewater properly, the application
shall be denied. "Sewer line and POTW treatment plant current use"
shall be defined as the present use and the unutilized use which has
been committed, by resolution, to other users by the Village Board.
When a property owner, builder, or developer proposes to construct sanitary sewers or extensions to sanitary sewers in an area proposed for subdivision, the plans, specifications, and method of installation shall be subject to the approval of the Superintendent, and the County Health Department, in accordance with ยงย 121-28.

Each street lateral shall be installed and inspected pursuant to Article VI, and inspection fees shall be paid by the applicant prior to initiating construction. Design and installation of sewers shall be as specified in ยงยงย 121-31 through 121-34, and in conformance with Paragraphs 3 through 6 of ASTM Specification C-12. The installation of the sewer shall be subject to periodic inspection by the Superintendent, without prior notice. The Superintendent shall determine whether the work is proceeding in accordance with the approved plans and specifications, and whether the completed work will conform with the approved plans and specifications. The sewer, as constructed, must pass the infiltration test (or the exfiltration test, with prior approval), required in ยงยงย 121-36 through 121-42, before any building lateral is connected thereto. The Superintendent shall be notified 30 days in advance of the start of any construction actions so that such inspection frequencies and procedures as may be necessary or required may be established. No new sanitary sewers will be accepted by the Village Board until such construction inspections have been made so as to assure the Village Board of compliance with this Part 1 and any amendments or additions thereto. The Superintendent has the authority to require such excavation as necessary to inspect any installed facilities if the facilities were covered or otherwise backfilled before they were inspected so as to permit inspection of the construction. The Superintendent shall report all findings of inspections and tests to the Village Board.
Plans, specifications, and methods of installation shall conform to the requirements of this article. Components and materials of wastewater facilities not covered in this Part 1, such as pumping stations, lift stations, or force mains shall be designed in accordance with ยงย 121-28, and shall be clearly shown and detailed on the plans and specifications submitted for approval.

K.ย
The elevation of the top section shall be such that the cover frame
top elevation is 0.5 foot above the one-hundred-year flood elevation
(in a field), 0.5 foot above a lawn elevation, or at finished road
or sidewalk grade.
L.ย
When located in a traveled area (road or sidewalk), the manhole frame
and cover shall be heavy-duty cast iron. When located in a lawn or
in a field, the manhole frame and cover may be light-duty cast iron.
The cover shall be 36 inches, minimum, in diameter. The minimum combined
weight of the heavy-duty frame and thirty-six-inch cover shall be
735 5% pounds. The minimum combined weight of the light-duty frame
and thirty-six-inch cover shall be 420 5% pounds. The mating surfaces
shall be machined, and painted with tar pitch varnish. The cover shall
not rock in the frame. Infiltration between the cover and frame shall
be prevented by proper design and painting. Covers shall have "Sanitary
Sewer" cast into them. Covers shall have lifting holes suitable for
any lifting/jacking device. The lifting holes shall be designed so
that infiltration is prevented.
M.ย
A drop of at least 0.1 foot shall be provided between incoming and
outgoing sewers on all junction manholes and on manholes with bends
greater than 45ยฐ.
N.ย
Inverts and shelves/benches shall be placed after testing the manholes
and sewers.

The flow channel shall have a smooth curvature from inlet to outlet.
Q.ย
Manhole frames, installed at grade, shall be set in a full bed of
mortar with no less than two nor more than four courses of brick underneath
to allow for later elevation adjustment. In lieu of brick, grade rings
may be used for elevation adjustment. Grade rings shall not exceed
six inches in depth. The total number of grade rings shall not exceed
12 inches in height; however, in no event shall more than three grade
rings be used.
R.ย
Manholes which extend above grade shall have the frames cast into
the manhole top plate. The top plate shall be securely anchored to
the manhole barrel, by a minimum of six one-half-inch corrosion-resistant
anchor bolts, to prevent overturning when the cover is removed. The
anchor bolts shall be electrically isolated from the manhole frame
and cover.
S.ย
Internal drop pipes and fittings shall be PVC plastic sewer pipe
in compliance with ASTM D2241. Corrosion-resistant anchors shall be
used to attach the drop pipe to the inside surface of the manhole
barrel.
All sanitary sewers or extensions to sanitary sewers, including manholes, shall satisfy requirements of a final infiltration test before they will be approved and wastewater flow permitted by the Village. The infiltration rate shall not exceed 25 gallons per 24 hours per mile per nominal diameter in inches. An exfiltration test may be substituted for the infiltration test; the same rate shall not be exceeded. The exfiltration test shall be performed by the applicant, under the supervision of the Superintendent, who shall have the responsibility for making proper and accurate measurements required. The exfiltration test consists of filling the pipe with water to provide a head of at least five feet above the top of the pipe or five feet above groundwater, whichever is higher, at the highest point under test, and then measuring the loss of water, from the pipe section under test, by the amount of water which must be added to maintain the original level. However, under no circumstances shall the head at the downstream manhole exceed 10 feet or fill to within six inches of the top of the downstream manhole. Should this condition prevail, the testing methods in ยงย 121-35F and/or G shall be utilized. In this test, the test section must remain filled with water for at least 24 hours prior to taking any measurements. Exfiltration shall be measured by the drop of water level in a standpipe with a closed bottom end, or in one of the sewer manholes serving the test section. When a standpipe and plug arrangement is used in the upper manhole in the test section, there shall be some positive method for releasing entrapped air prior to taking any measurements.
The test section shall be as ordered or as approved, but in
no event longer than 1,000 feet. In the case of sewers laid on steep
grades, the test length may be limited by the maximum allowable internal
pressure on the pipe and joints at the lower end of the test section.
For purposes of determining the leakage rate of the test section,
manholes shall be considered as sections of forty-eight-inch diameter
pipe, five feet long. The maximum allowable leakage rate for such
a section is 1.1 gallons per 24 hours. If leakage exceeds the allowable
rate, then necessary repairs or replacements shall be made, and the
section retested.
The test period, during which the test measurements are taken,
shall not be less than two hours.
Prior to testing, the section shall be lamped. Any length of
pipe out of straight alignment shall be realigned.
Also prior to testing, all plastic pipe, in the test section,
shall be tested for deflection. Deflection testing shall involve the
pulling of a rigid ball or mandrel, whose diameter is 95% of the pipe
inside diameter, through the pipe. Any length of pipe with a deflection
greater than 5% shall be replaced. The test section shall be flushed
just prior to deflection testing. The test shall not be performed
with a mechanical pulling device.
A.ย
In lieu of hydrostatic testing (exfiltration or infiltration), low-pressure
air testing may be employed. Low-pressure air tests shall conform
to ASTM Specification C 828. All sections to be tested shall be cleaned
and flushed, and shall have been backfilled, prior to testing. Air
shall be added until the internal pressure of the test section is
raised to approximately 4.0 PSIG. The air pressure test shall be based
on the time, measured in seconds, for the air pressure to drop from
3.5 PSIG to 2.5 PSIG.
B.ย
Acceptance is based on limits tabulated, in the Specification Time
Required for a 1.0 PSIG Pressure Drop in the Uni-Bell PVC Pipe Association
Recommended Practice For Low-Pressure Air Testing of Installed Sewer
Pipe.
C.ย
Before pressure is applied to the line, all connections shall be
firmly plugged. Before the test period starts, the air shall be given
sufficient time to cool to ambient temperature in the test section.
D.ย
If the test section is below groundwater, the test pressure shall
be increased by an amount sufficient to compensate for groundwater
hydrostatic pressure; however, the test pressure shall not exceed
10 PSI, or a lower pressure as required by the Superintendent.
E.ย
The pressure test gauge shall have been recently calibrated, and
a copy of the calibration results shall be made available to the Superintendent
prior to testing.
A.ย
In lieu of hydrostatic testing (exfiltration or infiltration), vacuum
testing may be employed for testing of sewer lines and manholes. Sewer
lines and manholes shall be tested separately. All sewer lines to
be tested shall be cleaned and flushed, and shall have been backfilled,
prior to testing. The vacuum test shall be based on the time, measured
in seconds, for the vacuum to decrease from 10 inches of mercury to
nine inches of mercury for manholes, and from seven inches of mercury
to six inches of mercury for sewers.
B.ย
Acceptance of manholes is based on the following:
Manhole Depth

For six-feet diameter manholes, add 60 seconds to the times
above.
|
C.ย
If the test on the manhole fails (the time is less than that tabulated
above), necessary repairs shall be made and the vacuum test repeated,
until the manhole passes the test.
D.ย
Acceptance of sewers (7 inches Hg to 6 inches Hg) is based on the
time tabulated in the Specification Time Required for a 0.5 PSIG Pressure
Drop in the Uni-Bell PVC Pipe Association Recommended Practice For
Low-Pressure Air Testing of Installed Sewer Pipe.
E.ย
The vacuum test gauge shall have been recently calibrated, and a
copy of the calibration results shall be made available to the Superintendent
prior to testing.

H.ย
When the daily average design detention time, in the force main,
exceeds 20 minutes, the manhole and sewer line receiving the force
main discharge or the sewage shall be treated so that corrosion of
the manhole and the exiting line are prevented. The corrosion is caused
by sulfuric acid biochemically produced from hydrogen sulfide anaerobically produced in the force main.
I.ย
The force main shall terminate, in the receiving manhole, at a PVC
plastic sewer pipe tee. The vertical arms of the tee shall be twice
the diameter of the force main. The upper arm shall be at least four

During the test, water shall be added, as needed, to maintain the
test pressure. The amount of water added shall be recorded so as to
calculate leakage. Leakage shall not exceed 25 gallons per day per
mile per inch nominal pipe diameter. During the test, the owner and
the Superintendent shall walk the route of the force main and examine
the exposed pipe and the ground covering any backfilled pipe to discover
leaks. Leakage in excess of that specified above shall be corrected
with new material at the owner's expense and the test repeated.
Any observed leaks shall be repaired at the owner's expense.
Each test section length shall be as approved by the Superintendent,
but in no event longer than 1,000 feet.
All sanitary sewers and extensions to sanitary sewers constructed
at the applicant's expense, after final approval and acceptance
by the Superintendent, and concurrence by the Village Board, shall
become the property of the Village, and shall thereafter be operated
and maintained by the Village. No sanitary sewer shall be accepted
by the Village until four copies of as-built drawings have been so
filed with the Superintendent and the Superintendent has approved
the submitted drawings. Said sewers, after their acceptance by the
Village, shall be guaranteed against defects in materials or workmanship
for one year, by the applicant. The guarantee shall be in such form
and contain such provision as deemed necessary by the Village Board,
secured by a surety bond or such other security as the Village Board
may approve.
A.ย
All contractors engaged in connecting house laterals with sanitary
sewers, who perform any work within the right-of-way of any highway,
shall file a bond in the amount of $5,000 with the Village Clerk to
indemnify the Village against loss, cost, damage or expense sustained
or recovered on account of any negligence, omission or act of the
applicant for such a permit, or any of his, or their agents arising
or resulting directly or indirectly by reason of such permit or consent,
or of any act, construction or excavation done, made or permitted
under authority of such permit or consent. All bonds shall contain
a clause that permits given by the Village Board may be revoked at
any time for just cause.
