New sanitary sewers and all extensions to sanitary
sewers owned and operated by the Town shall be designed, by a professional
licensed to practice sewer design in the state, in accordance with
the recommended standards for sewage works, as adopted by the Great
Lakes--Upper Mississippi River Board of State Sanitary Engineers ("Ten
State Standards"), and in strict conformance with all requirements
of the NYSDEC. Plans and specifications shall be submitted to, and
written approval shall be obtained from, the designated representative
(DR), the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation,
and the Saratoga County Sewer District (if within their service area),
before initiating any construction. The design shall anticipate and
allow for flows from all possible future extensions or developments
within the immediate drainage area. If, however, there is inadequate
capacity in any sewer which would convey the wastewater or if there
is insufficient capacity in the POTW treatment plant to treat the
wastewater properly, the application shall be denied. Sewer line and
POTW treatment plant current use shall be defined as the present use
and the unutilized use which has been committed, by resolution, to
other users by the Town Board.
A.
New sewers subject to approval, fees, inspection, testing, and reporting. When a property owner, builder, or developer proposes to construct sanitary sewers or extensions to sanitary sewers in an area proposed for subdivision, the plans, specifications, and method of installation shall be subject to the approval of the DR, in accordance with § 169-23.
(1)
Said property owner, builder, or developer shall pay
for the entire installation, including a proportionate share of the
treatment plant, intercepting or trunk sewers, pumping stations, force
mains, and all other sewer district expenses incidental thereto.
(2)
Each street lateral shall be installed and inspected pursuant to Article VI, and inspection fees shall be paid by the applicant prior to initiating construction. Design and installation of sewers shall be as specified in § 169-25, and in conformance with Paragraphs 3 through 6 of ASTM Specification C-12. The installation of the sewer shall be subject to additional periodic inspection by the DR, without prior notice. The DR shall determine whether the work is proceeding in accordance with the approved plans and specifications, and whether the completed work will conform with the approved plans and specifications. The sewer, as constructed, must pass the infiltration test (or the exfiltration test, with prior approval) required in § 169-26 before any building lateral is connected thereto. The DR shall be notified 30 days in advance of the start of any construction actions so that such inspection frequencies and procedures as may be necessary or required may be established. No new sanitary sewers will be accepted by the DR until such construction inspections have been made so as to assure the DR of compliance with this chapter and any amendments or additions thereto. The DR has the authority to require such excavation as necessary to inspect any installed facilities if the facilities were covered or otherwise backfilled before they were inspected so as to permit inspection of the construction. As deemed necessary, the DR shall report all findings of inspections and tests to the Town Board.
B.
Plans, specifications, and pipe test results required. Plans, specifications, and methods of installation shall conform to the requirements of this article. Components and materials of wastewater facilities not covered in this chapter, such as pumping stations, lift stations, or force mains, shall be designed in accordance with § 169-23 and shall be clearly shown and detailed on the plans and specifications submitted for approval. Force main details are covered in § 169-27. When requested, the applicant shall submit, to the Town and to the NYSDEC, all design calculations and other pertinent data to supplement review of the plans and specifications. Results of manufacturer's tests on each lot of pipe delivered to the job site shall also be furnished, upon request.

different coefficients of linear thermal expansion.
C.
Sewer pipe installation.
(1)
Local utilities shall be contacted to verify construction
plans and to make arrangements to disconnect all utility services,
where required to undertake the construction work. The utility services
shall later be reconnected. The work shall be scheduled so that there
is minimum inconvenience to local residents. Residents shall be provided
proper and timely notice regarding disconnection of utilities.
(2)
The construction right-of-way shall be cleared only
to the extent needed for construction. Clearing consists of removal
of trees which interfere with construction, removal of underbrush,
logs, and stumps, and other organic matter, removal of refuse, garbage,
and trash, removal of ice and snow, and removal of telephone and power
poles, and posts. Any tree which will not hinder construction shall
not be removed and shall be protected from damage by any construction
equipment. Debris shall not be burned, but hauled for disposal in
an approved manner.
(3)
The public shall be protected from personal and property
damage as a result of the construction work.
(4)
Traffic shall be maintained at all times in accordance
with applicable highway permits. Where no highway permits are required,
at least 1/2 of a street shall be kept open for traffic flow.
(5)
Erosion control shall be performed throughout the
project to minimize the erosion of soils onto lands or into waters
adjacent to or affected by the work. Erosion control can be effected
by limiting the amount of clearing and grubbing prior to trenching,
proper scheduling of the pipe installation work, minimizing time of
open trench, prompt grading and seeding, and filtration of drainage.
(6)
The trench shall be excavated only wide enough for
proper installation of the sewer pipe, manhole, and appurtenances.
Allowances may be made for sheeting, de-watering, and other similar
actions to complete the work. Roads, sidewalks, and curbs shall be
cut, by sawing or by other methods as approved by the DR, before trench
excavation is initiated.
(7)
Under ordinary conditions, excavation shall be by
open cut from the ground surface. However, tunneling or boring under
structures other than buildings may be permitted. Such structures
include crosswalks, curbs, gutters, pavements, trees, driveways, and
railroad tracks.
(8)
Open trenches shall be protected at all hours of the
day with barricades, as required.
(9)
Trenches shall not be open for more than 30 feet in
advance of pipe installation nor left unfilled for more than 30 feet
in the rear of the installed pipe, when the work is in progress, without
permission of the DR. When work is not in progress, including overnight,
weekends, and holidays, the trench shall be backfilled to ground surface.
(10)
The trench shall be excavated approximately
six inches deeper than the final pipe grade. When unsuitable soils
are encountered, these shall be excavated to a maximum depth of 2 1/2
feet below the final pipe invert grade and replaced with select materials.
(11)
Ledge rock, boulders, and large stones shall
be removed from the trench sides and bottom. The trench shall be over-excavated
at least 12 inches for five feet, at the transition from rock bottom
to earth bottom, centered on the transition.
(12)
Maintenance of grade, elevation, and alignment
shall be done by some suitable method or combination of methods.
(13)
No structure shall be undercut unless specifically
approved by the DR.
(14)
Proper devices shall be provided, and maintained
operational at all times, to remove all water from the trench as it
enters. At no time shall the sewer line be used for removal of water
from the trench.
(15)
To protect workers and to prevent caving, shoring
and sheeting shall be used, as needed. Caving shall not be used to
backfill the trench. Sheeting shall not be removed but cut off no
lower than one foot above the pipe crown nor higher than one foot
below final grade, and left in the trench, during backfill operations.
(16)
The pipe barrel shall be supported, along its
entire length, on a minimum of six inches of crusher run maximum one-half-inch
stone free of organic material. This foundation shall be firmly tamped
in the excavation.
(17)
Bell holes shall be hand excavated, as appropriate.
(18)
Pipe shall be laid from low elevation to high
elevation. The pipe bell shall be up-gradient; the pipe spigot shall
be down-gradient.
(19)
Joint preparation and assembly shall be in accordance
with the manufacturer's written instructions.
(20)
The grade and alignment shall be checked and
made correct. The pipe shall be in straight alignment. Any negotiation
of curves shall be at manholes, except when site conditions require
alternative pipe-laying procedures. These alternative procedures,
including bending the pipe barrel, deflecting the joint, and using
special fittings, shall require prior written approval of the plans
and also written confirmation approval of need by the DR after examination
of the site conditions.
(21)
When a smaller sewer joins a larger one the
invert of the larger sewer shall be lowered sufficiently to maintain
the same hydraulic gradient. An approximate method which may be used
for securing this result is to place the 0.8 depth of both sewers
at the same elevation.
(22)
Crushed stone shall be placed over the laid
pipe to a depth of at least six inches. The embedment of thermoplastic
pipe shall be in accordance with ASTM D2321 using Class 1A or 1B backfill
materials. Care shall be exercised so that stone is packed under the
pipe haunches. Care shall be exercised so that the pipe is not moved
during placement of the crushed stone.
(23)
The migration of fines from surrounding backfill
or native soils shall be restricted by gradation of embedment materials
or by use of suitable filter fabric.
(24)
The remaining portion of the trench above the
pipe embedment shall be backfilled in foot lifts which shall be firmly
compacted. Compaction near/under roadways, driveways, sidewalks, and
other structures shall be to 95% of the maximum moisture-density relationship,
as determined by ASTM Specification D 698, Method D. Ice, snow, or
frozen material shall not be used for backfill.
D.

day) concrete eight inches thick, or shall be precast bases properly
bedded in the excavation. Field-constructed bases shall be monolithic,
properly reinforced, and extend at least six inches beyond the outside
walls of lower manhole sections. Precast manhole bases shall extend
at least six inches beyond the outside walls of lower manhole sections.
E.
Manholes shall be constructed using precast minimum
four-foot diameter concrete manhole barrel sections, and an eccentric
top section, conforming to ASTM Specification C-478, with the following
exceptions on wall thickness:

eccentric top section. The top plate shall be large enough to accommodate
the cover lifting device and the cover.
K.
The elevation of the top section shall be such that
the cover frame top elevation is 0.5 foot above the 100-year flood
elevation (in a field), 0.5 foot above a lawn elevation, or at finished
road or sidewalk grade.
L.
All manhole frames and covers shall be heavy-duty
cast iron. The cover shall be 25 inches, minimum, in diameter. The
minimum combined weight of the heavy-duty frame and cover shall be
325 +/- 5% pounds. The mating surfaces shall be machined and painted
with tar pitch varnish. The cover shall not rock in the frame. Infiltration
between the cover and frame shall be prevented by proper design and
painting. Covers shall have "Sanitary Sewer" cast into them. Covers
shall have lifting holes suitable for any lifting/jacking device.
The lifting holes shall be designed so that infiltration is prevented.
M.
A drop of at least 0.1 foot shall be provided between
incoming and outgoing sewers on all junction manholes and on manholes
with bends greater than 45º.
N.
Inverts and shelves/benches shall be placed after
testing the manholes and sewers.
O.
Benches shall be level and slope to the flow channel
at about one inch per foot.
P.
The minimum depth of the flow channel shall be the
nominal diameter of the smaller pipe. The channel shall have a steel
trowel finish. The flow channel shall have a smooth curvature from
inlet to outlet.
Q.
Manhole frames, installed at grade, shall be set in
a full bed of mortar with no less than two nor more than four courses
of brick underneath to allow for later elevation adjustment. In lieu
of brick, grade rings may be used for elevation adjustment. Grade
rings shall not exceed six inches in depth. The total number of grade
rings shall not exceed 12 inches in height; however, in no event shall
more than three grade rings be used.
R.
Manholes which extend above grade shall have the frames
cast into the manhole top plate. The top plate shall be securely anchored
to the manhole barrel, by a minimum of six one-half-inch corrosion-resistant
anchor bolts, to prevent overturning when the cover is removed. The
anchor bolts shall be electrically isolated from the manhole frame
and cover.
S.
Internal drop pipes and fittings shall be PVC plastic
sewer pipe in compliance with ASTM D2241. Corrosion-resistant anchors
shall be used to attach the drop pipe to the inside surface of the
manhole barrel.
A.
Infiltration/Exfiltration testing. All sanitary sewers or extensions to sanitary sewers, including manholes, shall satisfy requirements of a final infiltration test before they will be approved and wastewater flow permitted by the DR. The infiltration rate shall not exceed 25 gallons per 24 hours per mile per nominal diameter in inches. An exfiltration test may be substituted for the infiltration test; the same rate shall not be exceeded. The exfiltration test shall be performed by the applicant, under the supervision of the DR, who shall have the responsibility for making proper and accurate measurements required. The exfiltration test consists of filling the pipe with water to provide a head of at least five feet above the top of the pipe or five feet above groundwater, whichever is higher, at the highest point under test, and then measuring the loss of water, from the pipe section under test, by the amount of water which must be added to maintain the original level. However, under no circumstances shall the head at the downstream manhole exceed 10 feet or fill to within six inches of the top of the downstream manhole. Should this condition prevail, the testing methods in Subsections C and/or D shall be utilized. In this test, the test section must remain filled with water for at least 24 hours prior to taking any measurements. Exfiltration shall be measured by the drop of water level in a standpipe with a closed bottom end, or in one of the sewer manholes serving the test section. When a standpipe and plug arrangement is used in the upper manhole in the test section, there shall be some positive method for releasing entrapped air prior to taking any measurements.
(1)
Test section. The test section shall be as ordered
or as approved, but in no event longer than 1,000 feet. In the case
of sewers laid on steep grades, the test length may be limited by
the maximum allowable internal pressure on the pipe and joints at
the lower end of the test section. For purposes of determining the
leakage rate of the test section, manholes shall be considered as
sections of forty-eight-inch diameter pipe, five feet long. The maximum
allowable leakage rate for such a section is 1.1 gallons per 24 hours.
If leakage exceeds the allowable rate, then necessary repairs or replacements
shall be made, and the section retested.
(2)
Test period. The test period, during which the test
measurements are taken, shall not be less than two hours.
(3)
Pipe lamping. Prior to testing, the section shall
be lamped. Any length of pipe out of straight alignment shall be realigned.
(4)
Deflection testing. Also prior to testing, all plastic
pipe, in the test section, shall be tested for deflection. Deflection
testing shall involve the pulling of a rigid ball or mandrel, whose
diameter is 95% of the pipe inside diameter, through the pipe. Any
length of pipe with a deflection greater than 5% shall be replaced.
The test section shall be flushed just prior to deflection testing.
The test shall not be performed with a mechanical pulling device.
B.
Low-pressure air testing alternative.
(1)
In lieu of hydrostatic testing (exfiltration or infiltration),
low-pressure air testing may be employed. Low-pressure air tests shall
conform to ASTM Specification C 828. All sections to be tested shall
be cleaned and flushed, and shall have been backfilled, prior to testing.
Air shall be added until the internal pressure of the test section
is raised to approximately 4.0 PSIG. The air-pressure test shall be
based on the time, measured in seconds, for the air pressure to drop
from 3.5 PSIG to 2.5 PSIG.
(2)
Acceptance is based on limits tabulated in the "Specification
Time Required for a 1.0 PSIG Pressure Drop" in the Uni-Bell PVC Pipe
Association "Recommended Practice For Low-Pressure Air Testing of
Installed Sewer Pipe."
(3)
Before pressure is applied to the line, all connections
shall be firmly plugged. Before the test period starts, the air shall
be given sufficient time to cool to ambient temperature in the test
section.
(4)
If the test section is below groundwater, the test
pressure shall be increased by an amount sufficient to compensate
for groundwater hydrostatic pressure; however, the test pressure shall
not exceed 10 PSI, or a lower pressure as required by the DR.
(5)
The pressure test gauge shall have been recently calibrated,
and a copy of the calibration results shall be made available to the
DR prior to testing.
C.
Vacuum testing alternative.
(1)
In lieu of hydrostatic testing (exfiltration or infiltration),
vacuum testing may be employed for testing of sewer lines and manholes.
Sewer lines and manholes shall be tested separately. All sewer lines
to be tested shall be cleaned and flushed, and shall have been backfilled,
prior to testing. The vacuum test shall be based on the time, measured
in seconds, for the vacuum to decrease from 10 inches of mercury to
nine inches of mercury for manholes, and from seven inches of mercury
to six inches of mercury for sewers.
(2)
Acceptance of manholes is based on the following:
Manhole Depth
(feet)
|
Manhole Diameter
(feet)
|
Time to Drop 1" Hg from 10" to 9"
(seconds)
| |

|
(3)
Acceptance of sewers (7" Hg to 6" Hg) is based on
the time tabulated in the "Specification Time Required for a 0.5 PSIG
Pressure Drop" in the Uni-Bell PVC Pipe Association "Recommended Practice
For Low-Pressure Air Testing of Installed Sewer Pipe."
(4)
The vacuum test gauge shall have been recently calibrated,
and a copy of the calibration results shall be made available to the
DR prior to testing.
A.
Design requirements. Force mains serving sewage lifting devices, such as grinder pumps and pump stations, shall be designed in accordance with § 169-23. Additional design requirements are:

(7)
Air relief and drain valves shall be suitably protected
from freezing.
(8)
When the daily average design detention time, in the
force main, exceeds 20 minutes, the manhole and sewer line receiving
the force main discharge or the sewage shall be treated so that corrosion
of the manhole and the exiting line are prevented. The corrosion is
caused by sulfuric acid biochemically produced from hydrogen sulfide
anaerobically produced in the force main.
(9)
The force main shall terminate, in the receiving manhole,
at a PVC plastic sewer pipe "T." The vertical arms of the "T" shall
be twice the diameter of the force main. The upper arm shall be at
least four feet long; the lower arm shall terminate in a PVC plastic
sewer pipe ninety-degree elbow in a flow channel directed to the manhole
exit pipe. The "T" and its arms shall be securely fastened to the
inside surface of the manhole wall using corrosion-resistant anchors.
B.
Force main testing. All force mains shall be subjected
to hydrostatic pressure of 150% of the normal operating pressure.
The duration of the test, at pressure, shall be at least two hours.
Before conducting the test, the pipe shall be filled with water and
all air shall be expelled. During the test, water shall be added,
as needed, to maintain the test pressure. The amount of water added
shall be recorded so as to calculate leakage. Leakage shall not exceed
25 gallons per day per mile per inch nominal pipe diameter. During
the test, the owner and the DR shall walk the route of the force main
and examine the exposed pipe and the ground covering any backfilled
pipe to discover leaks. Leakage in excess of that specified above
shall be corrected with new material at the owner's expense and the
test repeated. Any observed leaks shall be repaired at the owner's
expense. Each test section length shall be as approved by the DR,
but in no event longer than 1,000 feet.
All sanitary sewers and extensions to sanitary
sewers constructed at the applicant's expense, after final approval
and acceptance by the DR, shall become the property of the sewer district
and shall thereafter be operated and maintained by the sewer district.
No sanitary sewer shall be accepted by the DR until four copies of
as-built drawings have been so filed with the DR and the DR has approved
the submitted drawings. Said sewers, after their acceptance by the
DR, shall be guaranteed against defects in materials or workmanship
for one year, by the applicant. The guarantee shall be in such form
and contain such provision as deemed necessary by the DR, secured
by a surety bond or such other security as the DR may approve.
A.
All contractors engaged in connecting house laterals
with sanitary sewers, who perform any work within the right-of-way
of any highway, shall file a bond in the amount of $5,000 with the
Town Clerk to indemnify the Town against loss, cost, damage or expense
sustained or recovered on account of any negligence, omission or act
of the applicant for such a permit, or any of his, or their, agents
arising or resulting directly or indirectly by reason of such permit
or consent, or of any act, construction or excavation done, made or
permitted under authority of such permit or consent. All bonds shall
contain a clause that permits given by the Town (Board) may be revoked
at any time for just cause.
