2.16 WATER MAIN DISINFECTION. Prior to chlorination and after completion of the pressure
test, each pipeline construction section shall be flushed at a minimum water velocity
of 2.5 fps in a manner and for such Length of time as the Engineer may require to
effectively clear the mains, valves, hydrant Leads and fittings. Temporary flushing
risers shall be provided at the termini of all water mains to assure flushing of the
deadends. ALL mains and accessories shall be chlorinated under the supervision of
the municipality by the use of either chlorine gas or H.T.H. hypochlorite compound
as directed. A solution of proper chlorine concentration shall be prepared with
clean tap water and pumped into the section of main to be chlorinated by means of
one-inch corporation cocks inserted in the top of the new main. In order that the
sterilization solution will make proper contact with all interior surfaces,
corporation cocks shall be inserted in the top of the new main at the beginning of
each pipeline extension and at the ends of any such extension where means of bleeding
off water is not available. Chlorine solution shall be applied at both ends of such
extension.
The valve controlling water flow from the existing distribution system into the new
work shall be opened sufficiently to assure a slow rate of flow into the new
pipeline. After regulating the flow from observations at the bleed-off point, the
chlorine shall be pumped into the new main at a uniformly proportionate rate until
the water in the pipeline has a chlorine content of 50 to 100 ppm and until a heavy
chlorine concentration at the bleed-off point is evident.
8
•
The Contractor shall exercise every precaution to prevent the chlorine solution from
backing up or flowing beyond the limits of the new pipeline extension into the
existing distribution system. ALL valves and hydrants within the limits of the
section being chlorinated shall be operated during the application of the chlorine
solution. All terminal valves except the feed-in valve shall be kept closed.
On completion of the chlorination process, the feed-in valve shall be tightly shut
off and the treated water retained in the line at least 24 hours or longer as may be
directed by the Engineer. After 24-hour retention in the pipeline, the residual
chlorine at the extremities of the section shall be not less than 25 ppm.
Following chlorination, all treated water shall be thoroughly flushed from the newly
laid pipelines as directed by the Engineer until the replacement water is
chlorine-free or has a residual consistent with system chlorine residuals, whereafter
samples for testing and analysis shall be taken from a sterile metal pipe connection
with sampling cock attached to the 1" corporation cocks in the new Line. Quality of
water shall meet the requirements of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency for
drinking water for at least two (2) consecutive days, with a minimum of 24 hours
between samples, before placing the new pipeline or section in service.
Should the initial chlorine treatment fail the approved Laboratory analysis of the
sampled water, chlorination shall be repeated until approved water quality is
obtained from the new pipeline extensions or sections.
The cost of all labor, materials and equipment necessary to flush and chlorinate the
water main shall be incidental to and included in the contract unit price for Water
Main.
2.17 RELATION TO SEWERS. Insofar as applicable, the provisions set forth in paragraph 212
F of the Technical Policy Statements of the Division of Public Water Supplies,
Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, are made a part hereof by reference and
shall be adhered to in maintaining horizontal and vertical clearances with sewers
paralleling or crossing the pipelines to be installed under this contract. The
following horizontal and vertical separations are to be maintained.
A. Horizontal Separation. Whenever possible, a water main must be laid at
least ten feet horizontally from any existing or proposed drain or sewer
line.
Should local conditions exist which would prevent a lateral separation of
ten feet, a water main may be laid closer than ten feet to a storm or
sanitary sewer provided that the water main invert is at least 18 inches
above the crown of the sewer and is either in a separate trench or in the
same trench on an undisturbed earth shelf Location to one side of the
sewer.
If it is impossible to obtain proper horizontal and vertical separation
as described above, both the water main and sewer must be constructed of
slip-on or mechanical joint cast or ductile iron pipe, prestressed
concrete pipe or PVC pipe meeting water main standards and, before
backfilling, be pressure tested to the maximum possible expected surcharge
head to assure watertightness.
B. Vertical Separation. Whenever water mains must cross house sewers, storm
sewers or sanitary sewers, the water main shall be laid at such an
elevation that the invert of the water main is 18 inches above the crown
of the sewer measured as the normal distance between the two pipes.
The vertical separation must be maintained for that portion of the water
main located within ten feet horizontally of any sewer crossed.
9
If it is impossible to obtain the proper vertical separation as described
above or if it is necessary for the water main to pass under a sewer, both
the water main and sewer must be constructed of slip-on or mechanical
joint cast iron pipe, prestressed concrete pipe or PVC pipe meeting water
main standards. ALL pipe must extend on each side of the crossing until
the normal distance from the water main to the sewer is at Least ten feet.
In making such crossings, center a Length of water main pipe over the
sewer to be crossed so the joints will be equidistant from the sewer and
as remote therefrom as possible. Where a water main must cross under a
sewer, a vertical separation of 18 inches between the invert of the sewer
and the crown of the water main shall be maintained, along with means to
support the larger-sized sewer Lines to prevent their settling and
breaking the water main.
C. Water Service Lines. The horizontal and vertical separation between water
service Lines and all sanitary sewers, storm sewers or any drain must be
the same as for water mains, as detailed in A and B above, except that
when minimum horizontal and vertical separation cannot be maintained,
water pipe of the types described in A and B above must be used for both
water and sewer service Lines.
2.18 METHOD OF MEASUREMENT. Water main shall be measured for payment in lineal feet along
the centerline of the completed water main from center to center of fittings.
2.19 BASIS OF PAYMENT. The work as outlined in Section 2 will be paid for at the contract
unit price per Lineal foot for WATER MAIN of the diameter and class specified,
measured in place unless otherwise specified. This price shall include the cost of
all materials, pipe, fittings, adaptors, joint materials, blocking and all work and
equipment necessary to make a complete and finished installation.
