Any and all applications, hookups and usages of the public sewers shall
be subject to the following specifications for house lateral sanitary sewer
connections, and rules and regulations and shall be made on applications provided
by the Village of Churchville, as agent for the town, on the form supplied
by the village, and a permit shall be issued on the form provided by the Village
of Churchville.
A.Â
Specifications. All connections with sewers shall be
made in accordance with the following specifications:
(1)Â
The word "plumber" is used to describe the person performing
the work.
(2)Â
Connections shall be made at laterals provided in the
sewer.
(3)Â
The location of such laterals may be obtained at the
village office.
(4)Â
Where no lateral exists, permission must be obtained
from the Superintendent to cut into sewers.
(5)Â
On sanitary sewers, tapping of the pipe must be done
by machines designated by the Superintendent.
(6)Â
Any breaking of the sewer caused by tapping shall be
replaced at the expense of the plumber.
(7)Â
Connections to the sewer shall be made using a cast-iron
gasketed saddle with stainless steel bands and brass bolts.
(8)Â
All cut-ins shall be encased in one-to-two-to-four concrete.
(9)Â
Before connecting to any existing sanitary sewer laterals,
the plumber shall make sure that they are free and clear of sand, mud, rocks,
roots and any other material from the point of connection to the main sewer.
(10)Â
Connection to the sanitary sewer shall be made only with
pipe constructed of materials as specified in the Building and Plumbing Code
or applicable rules and regulations of the town and the Village of Churchville.
For residential or commercial establishments equivalent to two units or less,
a pipe not less than four inches in diameter shall be used. For multiple-family
or commercial/industrial establishments, a pipe not less than six inches in
diameter shall be used. The size of the lateral shall be as approved by the
Superintendent.
(11)Â
All fittings shall be recessed drainage fittings with
smooth, continuous inner surfaces to the flow of drainage and shall conform
in all respects to the grade of pipe. Change in direction of flow shall be
made by the use of proper fittings. Where required, one-sixteenth bends shall
be placed at least one foot apart. One-eighth bends shall only be used with
the permission of the inspector. The use of one-fourth bends will not be allowed.
(12)Â
Each lateral will be provided with cleanout at the lot
line, at the interior of the house wall, at sharp changes in direction and
after each 75 feet of lateral, with openings to be flush with ground surface
and three inches above cellar floor. Cleanouts shall be constructed using
cast-iron pipe or approved equivalent within 12 inches of ground surface and
with a brass plug.
(13)Â
All pipes shall be laid with ends abutting and true to
line and grade. Unless otherwise permitted by the inspector, pipelines shall
be laid to a grade of at least one-fourth (1/4) inch per foot for four-inch
diameter pipe, and at least one-eighth (1/8) inch per foot for six-inch diameter
pipe. Pipes shall be fitted together and matched so that, when laid, they
will form a sewer with a smooth and uniform invert. All pipes shall be cleared
of dirt and foreign materials as the work progresses.
(14)Â
Whenever it is necessary to leave the work, the end of
the pipe shall be securely closed with a tightly fitting cover or plug. Any
earth or other material entering the main sewer through the opening end of
any lateral or pipe shall be removed at the plumber's expense. All trenches
must be properly protected by sufficient sheathing and bracing. Where pipes
pass under the walls of any building there shall be a relieving arch constructed
to prevent settlement of the masonry over the pipe. The plumber shall erect
and maintain barricades, lights and other safeguards necessary to effectively
prevent injuries to persons.
(15)Â
The earth fill over and around the pipes up to a depth
of one foot over the pipes must be carefully selected and free from large
stones. It shall be deposited in layers not exceeding six inches in thickness,
each of which shall be well-pounded, rammed and compacted so that the pipes
are firmly embedded. No stones exceeding six inches in their largest dimension
may be used in refilling the remaining of the trench. This refilling shall
be done in one-foot layers, each layer being thoroughly compacted.
(16)Â
It is the responsibility of the plumber to obtain any
permits required and pay any costs before doing any excavating within the
highway limits when searching for a lateral or wye connection.
(17)Â
Where the trench passes beneath a pavement, the refilling
shall follow the directions of the Superintendent of Highways and/or the New
York State Department of Transportation. Where pavements have to be replaced,
work shall be done in accordance with the directions of the Superintendent
of Highways or Department of Transportation. Outside of the limits of the
pavement, the surface of the trenches, after being filled and compacted, shall
be finished off in a smooth and workmanlike manner. All settlement in public
highways occurring after the trenches have been refilled must be filled in
by the plumber. Should he fail to do so, the refilling will be done by the
town or the state and the cost of the work charged to him.
