CITY OF EVERETT SPECIAL PROVISIONS <br /> "Design and Construction Standards and Specifications for Development", except <br /> for the City's prohibition on the use of dry calcium hypochlorite or gaseous <br /> 1 chlorine. <br /> 7-09.3(24)D Point of Application <br /> Whenever possible, use the beginning of the pipeline extension, or a valved <br /> section of it, as the point of application for the disinfectant solution. Provide a tap <br /> to supply water for delivering the disinfectant solution on the pressure, or <br /> upstream, side of the valve controlling the flow into the pipeline extension, but <br /> downstream of the backflow preventer used to isolate the new main from the <br /> existing water distribution system. Obtain Engineer approval in writing to use <br /> 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 <br /> of 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 <br /> flushed, disinfected, and tested. Install backflow preventer upstream of temporary <br /> fill hoses 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 Water Mains and Water <br /> Service Connections <br /> Chlorinate connections to existing water mains 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 8.25 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 /> 1 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 /> main. EMC staff will collect and measure samples at the start and at the end of <br /> the disinfectant contact period. <br /> Provide sample taps as noted in 7-09.3(24)1 to allow EMC staff to collect at least <br /> one set of disinfectant concentration, coliform bacteria and free chlorine samples <br /> Water Main Replacement"Q" Division 7—WATER MAIN July 8, 2016 <br /> -Broadway <br /> WO No.—UP3612 SP -155 <br />
