Side sewer lateral connections to manholes shall be made at the manhole base, and laterals having an elevation at the manhole of three feet (3 ' ) or more above the base elevation shall be made by drop connection approved by the City Engineer. Where connecting "Y" has not been left, or in case the inspector may deem best the person making connection shall remove a joint of the sewer pipe and insert in its place a "Y" properly placed and securely cemented, before making connections therewith, and where a "Y" has been left the connection shall be made without damaging or breaking the same . Standpipe connections to upright "Y" or "T" of the main sewer pipe or lateral shall be made through 1/8 bends. The upright "Y" or "T" con- nection shall be encased in a concrete block on both sides of main sewer pipe from base of main sewer pipe to a solid supporting of the bell of upright "Y" or "T" . A 1/8 bend shall be placed directly upon the upright or "T" and connection brought directly to the solid sidewall of sewer trench and changed to vertical by use of a 1/8 bend at base of riser. 1/8 bends and riser shall be solidly supported with a continuation of con- crete block supporting the bell of upright "Y" or "T" . Bell holes or recesses for hubs or couplings shall be provided in sidewall of sewer trench. All excavations made in any street or alley shall be protected and guarded by said contractor, both by day and night, with the proper display of signals and lights, and the said contractor: shall be responsible upon his bond for all accidents caused by negligence in this respect. The street must be opened and the paving or planking and earth deposited in a manner that will occasion the least in- convenience to the public, and to provide for a free passage along the gutter. One half of the street must be kept clear for the passage of vehicles, and bridgeways must be provided on sidewalks for foot passengers. In refilling the trench the earth must be deposited in layers of not more than six inches (6" ) in depth and must be well rammed. Puddling or water flooding for consolidat- ing the backfill may be used only if approved by the City Engineer. In clay soil the addition of water shall be limited only to that needed for increasing the density of the backfill material. As soon as any such sewer or drain is completed the applicant shall immediately re- store and maintain all streets, sidewalks, parking strips and other public areas disturbed or altered in the course of any side sewer or drainage work to the original surface condition and, in the event the applicant fails to immediately restore the area to its original condition the City Engineer shall make such restoration and charge the cost thereof to the applicant who shall, upon receiving written notice of the amount, make immediate payments thereof to the City Treasurer.
