This work shall include tapping of the water main, installation of all necessary pipe, valves, curbs and backflow prevention devices.

All materials such as pipe, fittings, curb box, meter, valves, backflow prevention devices, etc., shall be supplied by the owner and meet City specifications.

The curb box shall be located seven feet off of the street line within the public way, unless otherwise directed by the Director.
