` UTILITY DISCONNECTION/TERMINATION
• POLICY
WATER SERVICE TERMINATION
The typical 1-inch or 2-inch domestic copper service is to be terminated at the main by
removing the corporation stop on the water main and installing a stainless steel sleeve over
the tapped service hole in the main. If the service or a larger service is connected to the water
main via a stainless steel tapping sleeve or a fitted tee, then the valve shall be removed and a
blind flange is to be installed on the tapping sleeve or fitted tee. All water main valves that
need to be turned off in order to remove the corporation stop or the valve are to be operated by
City of Elgin Public Services staff.
If the applicant can demonstrate that the existing water service is to be salvaged and used to
service the new building, then the Public Works Director or his designee may issue written
approval to terminate the existing service at a b-box, valve box, or within a valve vault at the
property line. The contractor will need to show that the valve at the end of the service is still
operational otherwise he will be required to install a new valve.
•
SANITARY SERVICE TERMINATION
The typical sanitary service pipe is to be removed up to the tee or wye fitting on the sanitary
sewer main and a permanent plug or concrete cap shall be installed.
If the applicant can demonstrate that the existing sanitary service is to be salvaged and used
to service the new building or if terminating the service would result in a very deep street cut or
damage to a newly constructed street, then the Public Works Director or his designee may
issue written approval to terminate the existing sanitary service at the property line.
ALL SERVICE TERMINATIONS
All water, sanitary, and/or storm service terminations shall be inspected and approved
by the City of Elgin Public Services Staff. To schedule an inspection, call the Public
Works Department at 847-697-3160.
