A. 
Any person or legal entity developing a subdivision or land development project within the jurisdiction of the Smithfield Water Supply Board (the Board), where water service is available within 2,500 feet of an existing Smithfield Water Supply Board line, shall at the developer's expense install lines and service stubs in such plat or land development and shall connect the same with the existing water system pursuant to Town-approved plans which must comply with all applicable Smithfield ordinances and Smithfield Water Supply Board rates, rules and regulations in effect at that time.
B. 
The entire cost of the installation of all waterlines and laterals to serve any such subdivision or land development project and any lot thereof shall be paid by the developer, including the cost of engineering review services incurred during the permit review process by the Smithfield Water Supply Board's personnel and/or its consulting engineers. Said entire cost shall include, but not be limited to, the cost of full engineering services, both preliminary and inspection during the actual installation of such waterline project, and the cost of all materials, services, labor, inspection and supplies for constructing and laying out waterlines and connecting the same with the Smithfield Water Supply Board waterline system. The owner and developer shall indemnify the Town from any loss or damage that may directly or indirectly be occasioned by the installation of said waterlines and laterals.
C. 
If said owner and developer can prove that said waterline extension is impracticable or would render the project financially infeasible, the Smithfield Water Supply Board may waive or modify the extension requirement upon such terms and conditions as it deems to be in the best interests of public health, safety and welfare.
A. 
Said developer shall furnish an original site location plan and two clear prints showing the following:
(1) 
Site location plan(s) with proposed waterline horizontal and vertical alignment at one inch: 40 feet horizontal and one inch: Four feet vertical;
(2) 
Limits of area measured in acres which could be served by extending the proposed waterline; and
(3) 
Area in acres of the proposed and future development within the developer's site.
B. 
The size of each drawing shall be 36 inches wide by 24 inches high to the trim lines. The horizontal plan scale shall be no greater than one inch equals 40 feet and the profile scale shall be horizontal one inch equals 40 feet and vertical one inch equals four feet.
(1) 
The title block is to be placed in the lower right-hand corner of each drawing and shall include: town name, development name, drawing title, name of developer, name of designer, date, scale, sheet number and designer's current Rhode Island Registered P.E. stamp.
(2) 
Each drawing is to be stamped and signed by a currently registered Rhode Island professional engineer and shall be drawn specifically for the proposed water facilities. Drawings prepared for subdivision approval submission and the like are not acceptable.
(3) 
Plan review stages for approval are: conceptual plan, hydraulic model, piping and layout.
C. 
The required drawings shall conform to the following design requirements:
(1) 
Plan. The 40 scale plan(s) shall clearly show all existing and proposed physical data within 50 feet of the project, including but not limited to structures; street lines; easement and lot layout; plat and lot numbers; types of paving; utilities; wetlands; any other pertinent topographical features; North arrow; notes, etc.
(2) 
Profile. The profile shall show the existing underground utility infrastructure size(s), station, depth of cover, shutoffs (valves), laterals, hydrants, thrust blocks, etc., all utilities crossing the waterline, existing and finished grades and other notes.
(3) 
Sewer/water separation. Where existing conditions do not permit the minimum clearance of water mains both horizontally and vertically, separation of sewers and water mains shall be in accordance with the Rhode Island Water Resources Board guidelines, or as otherwise approved by the Smithfield Water Supply Board.
(4) 
General. On private property, where a future street is not reasonably contemplated, the minimum depth of cover over all waterlines shall be five feet or below the local frost line, whichever is greater. Where existing conditions do not permit, lesser depth of covering using an alternative piping may be considered by the Smithfield Water Supply Board if proper insulation methods are demonstrated.
D. 
The following notes shall appear on the drawings submitted for each water extension approval.
(1) 
"The developer shall make application for and pay all fees for permitting and inspections required to construct this project."
(2) 
"Prior to receiving authorization to construct, all materials shall meet the standards and receive the written approval, based on manufacturer's drawings and other data, of the Smithfield Water Supply Board or its authorized representative."
(3) 
"Installation of the waterline facilities shall be in accordance with the Smithfield Water Supply Board rules, rates and regulations in existence at the time of the approval of the extension request, which may be amended from time to time, and any other applicable Town ordinances, regulations and policies."
(4) 
"All water facilities shall meet testing and cleaning requirements prior to acceptance in accordance with all requirements of the Smithfield Water Supply Board."
(5) 
"Two sets of as-built drawings stamped by a currently registered Rhode Island Professional Engineer shall be filed with the Smithfield Water Supply Board as a condition for acceptance of the new water facilities."
(6) 
"No flow will be accepted until all the above steps are completed and a completion certificate is issued."
E. 
Said developer shall file two copies of water flow hydraulic modeling calculations which shall be validated by the Town's Water Supply Board Inspector or consulting engineering firm. These calculations shall show the location and number of present and future units on no greater than 40 scale drawings. Water quantities shall be in gallons per minute for both average daily and maximum hourly flows. The calculations shall follow Rhode Island Water Works standards to determine flow calculations.
The developer shall install not only the waterline in the street but also all building water laterals with lateral shutoff valves from the water main to the property line along any route of extension or within the development. The developer shall cap all open ends of the waterline and provide exact lateral ties and elevations so that the capped ends will be readily available.
The installation of waterlines and laterals shall be in accordance with the Town of Smithfield Water Supply Board plan review and any adopted policies and procedures, copies of which may be obtained from the Water Supply Board. Specifications for all special structures and conditions shall be prepared by the developer for the Water Supply Board or its authorized representative's review and approval.
Where site constraints may prevent installation of the waterline within the street, twenty-foot wide easements shall be required and deeded to the Town. The waterline shall favor one side of the easement to allow for equipment placement in the event of a repair. The easement shall extend beyond the waterline to a public highway. All easements must be readily passable by way of a constructed gravel road for maintenance vehicles and equipment and shall be gated, unless otherwise directed by the Board. No permanent structures shall be built on any easement. The form and location of all easements must be approved in advance of construction by the Smithfield Water Supply Board.
Upon completion of construction and prior to acceptance of any water connection, the completed facilities shall be tested by the installer and witnessed and approved by the Smithfield Water Supply Board. All final information shall be corrected and/or added to the original drawings and two complete sets of Mylar reproducible as-built drawings shall be furnished to the Smithfield Water Supply Board. The developer shall also deliver the as-built set of plans in an AutoCAD or ESRI GIS and Adobe electronic formats.
A road-opening permit from either the Smithfield Public Works Department or RI DOT will be required along with the payment of all applicable charges associated with this permit prior to any construction. All construction shall be in accordance with the approved plans and materials, standard specifications and details. Any work not meeting the approved standards shall be immediately removed and replaced at the full cost of the developer. Board approval for installation does not negate the developer's responsibility to obtain any and all other applicable local, state and federal approvals and permits.
A. 
Water main installation testing and chlorination shall be inspected by the Town's consultant and/or Smithfield Water Supply Board Inspector. Forty-eight hour advance notice shall be provided to the Smithfield Water Supply Board for inspection, and all fees shall be paid by the developer.
B. 
The applicant for the building permit shall notify the Water Supply Board when the building water connection is ready for inspection and connection to the public waterline. A forty-eight hour notice is required for all inspections of the project and all fees shall be paid by the developer.
C. 
No water facilities will be approved by the Smithfield Water Supply Board without final inspection and approval by the Town's inspector.
