Ordinance 4085 - Laserfiche WebLink

• All new distribution system mains shall be suitably lined cast iron pipe, said pipe conforming to the appropriate American Water Works Association standard for cast iron pipe as determined by the Superintendent. No new line in the distribution system shall be smaller than four inches (4") in diameter. The size and location of all new lines shall be determined by the Superintendent. The term "lateral line" or "lateral" is used herein to designate a distribution system pipeline which includes fire hydrants and service connec- tions to adjacent property. The standard minimum size of such lateral lines shall be six inches (6") in diameter. The use of four inch (4") laterals shall be confined to a minimum and used only in such special circumstances where deemed warranted by the Superintendent, such as short dead end lines or as part of a dual system. All new lateral lines shall be paid for by local improvement district assessments or cash payments subject to credits as hereinafter set forth. The property benefited by installation of such laterals shall pay all costs up to and including six inch(6") diameter laterals together with all appurtenances such as valves, fittings and fire hydrants required for a complete installation. All system improvement lines shall be paid for from Water System funds as hereinafter set forth. The term "system improvement line" as used herein shall designate those feeder lines constructed for the purpose of improving the distribution system as a whole or in part, provided however, that where lines of more than six inches (6") in diameter used for feeders as well as laterals are installed, the construction cost thereof shall be shared as follows: To the property benefited there shall be charged an amount equal to the cost of installing a six inch (6") lateral line including fire hydrants and appurtenances; the Water System shall bear all costs in excess thereof. -4-
