CITY OF EVERETT SPECIAL PROVISIONS <br /> ' concentration of an initial 50 mg/I solution following a 12 hour contact time shall be <br /> not less than 10 mg/I. <br /> 7-09.3(24)C Form of Applied Chlorine <br /> Perform disinfection of watermains using the continuous feed method employing <br /> either liquid calcium hypochlorite or liquid sodium hypochlorite solutions. Dry <br /> calcium hypochlorite and gaseous or liquid chlorine is not allowed. <br /> Follow the continuous feed methods specified in the most recent version of AWWA <br /> Standard C-651 and Section 5-15 of the latest edition of the City of Everett "Design <br /> and Construction Standards and Specifications for Development", except for the <br /> City's prohibition on the use of dry calcium hypochlorite or gaseous chlorine. <br /> 7-09.3(24)D Point of Application <br /> Whenever possible, use the beginning of the pipeline extension, or a valved section <br /> of it, as the point of application for the disinfectant solution. Provide a tap to supply <br /> water for delivering the disinfectant solution on the pressure, or upstream, side of <br /> ' the valve controlling the flow into the pipeline extension, but downstream of the <br /> backflow preventer used to isolate the new main from the existing water distribution <br /> system. Obtain Engineer approval in writing to use alternate points of applications. <br /> For a City allowed direct tie-in to an existing main via an in-line backflow preventer <br /> and with the approval of the Inspector, the point of application may be through a <br /> corporation stop inserted in the horizontal axis of the pipe. Locate tap within 10- <br /> feet of where the line is tied into the existing system. Swab the internal surfaces of <br /> the backflow preventer and adjacent downstream appurtenances, valves or <br /> couplings for example, with straight hypochlorite solution prior to their installation. <br /> 7-09.3(24)E Preventing Reverse Flow <br /> Provide a State Department of Health approved backflow preventer installed in the <br /> connecting line before making a connection between the existing distribution <br /> system and water lines constructed under this Contract that have not been flushed, <br /> disinfected, and tested. Install backflow preventer upstream of temporary fill hoses <br /> and disinfectant injection equipment. <br /> ' 7-09.3(24)F Chlorinating Valves, Hydrants, and Appurtenances <br /> Operate valves, hydrants, and other appurtenances during the disinfectant contact <br /> interval for newly-laid pipe while filling the pipeline with the disinfectant chlorine <br /> ' solution and the main is under normal operating pressure. Normal operating <br /> pressure is the pressure the existing distribution system provides through the <br /> temporary backflow protection device. <br /> ' 7-09.3(24)G Chlorinating Connections to Existing Watermains and Water <br /> Service Connections <br /> Chlorinate connections to existing watermains in accordance with the following <br /> sections of the most recent revision of AWWA Standard C651: <br /> Section 4.6 - Final Connections to Existing Mains, <br /> Section 4.7 - Disinfectant Procedures When Cutting Into or Repairing Existing <br /> ' Mains, and <br /> Section 4.8 - Special Procedures for Caulked Tapping Tees <br /> Swab the internal surfaces of closure fittings with a 5 to 6 percent chlorine solution <br /> ' that can be found in liquid household sodium hypochlorite bleach. <br /> 7-09.3(24)H Final Flushing and Testing <br /> Notify the City Utilities Division, Environmental Monitoring and Compliance (EMC) <br /> ' staff at least five business days prior to requiring EMC staff to collect samples and <br /> measure the chlorine concentration of the disinfectant solution placed in the new <br /> Watermain Replacement"U" Division 7-STORM, SEWER,WATER October 1, 2019 <br /> WO No.-UP3698 SP-180 <br />
