All work performed and materials furnished for the purpose of supplying a development with potable water shall comply with Chapter
146 of the Code of the Town of Ontario and Recommended Standards for Water Works (1987).
A. Design.
(1)
Water supply systems shall be designed to provide adequate domestic
usage and fire protection. Where public water supply is not accessible,
an alternate private supply shall be furnished which conforms to the
New York State Health Department regulations.
(2)
All main and service sizing shall be substantiated by the design
engineer using updated flow data provided by the Water Utilities Department.
(3)
All water mains shall be a minimum of eight inches, except:
(a)
Where mains are part of a major transmission distribution network,
the Town may require a larger size main.
(b)
Where project demands allow a smaller main while still providing
adequate fire and domestic flows. In no case will the Town accept
for dedication a main smaller than four inches in diameter.
B. Hydrants. Hydrants shall be spaced to comply with ISO requirements
but at a maximum of five-hundred-foot intervals in subdivisions and
six-hundred-foot intervals in open spaces.
C. Valves.
(1)
Valves shall be located such that no more than 30 dwelling units
and no more than two hydrants need be out of service for repair of
a water main. Valves shall generally be provided at intersections
and shall be no more than 800 feet apart along the water main.
(2)
Additional valves may be required at creek and/or railroad crossings,
depending on network configuration and permit requirements.
D. Dead-end mains. Provide two-inch blowoff units at the end of all
dead-end mains.
E. Water services. Provide a minimum of three-fourths-inch water service
to the right-of-way line of all individual lots or where an easement
is provided (the service shall extend to the easement line). All services
under dedicated roads shall be Type K copper without line couplings.
F. Meter pits (for individual services). Meter pits shall be installed
when the water service length is greater than 250 feet from the center
line of a given road.
Sidewalks shall be concrete per Appendix U.
Monuments, per Appendix L, shall be located at:
A. P.C. and P.T. of all horizontal curves along one side of the right-of-way.
B. A maximum of 1,000 feet along one side of the right-of-way line.
Where land areas are reserved for future connections to adjacent
parcels, all improvements, i.e., sanitary, storm, water, roads, will
be constructed to the common property line.
