A. 
All installations shall be in strict accordance with the International Building Code (IBC) codes, the Virginia Department of Health, Waterworks Regulations, adopted June 23, 1993, and the Amelia Courthouse Sanitary District "Rules and Regulations and Construction Specifications and Standards."
B. 
No deviation from the Rules and Regulations and Construction Specifications and Standards and construction details approved by the District shall be allowed, unless specifically authorized in writing by the District.
C. 
Although constructed as parcels or subsystems, all water mains and related facilities of all proposed developments shall be approved on the basis of their functional integration with the District's total water system.
A. 
The minimum size of water mains where fire protection is to be provided or required shall be six inch interior diameter unless approved otherwise.
B. 
The District reserves the right to determine the size of any proposed water main that will be accepted into the system.
All water mains shall be provided with a minimum of not less than 36 inches of earth cover measured from established finished grade to the top of the pipe to prevent freezing.
A. 
General. There shall be no physical connection between a public or private potable water supply system and a sewer, or appurtenance thereto which would permit the passage of any sewage or polluted water into the potable water supply. No water supply or distribution pipe shall pass through or come in contact with any part of a sewer manhole. Further, no water supply line shall be installed closer than 10 feet horizontally to septic tanks and 30 feet to septic tank tile lines. It shall be well recognized that water supply lines and structures shall be kept remote from any existing sewers.
B. 
Parallel installation.
(1) 
Under normal conditions water lines shall be laid at least 10 feet horizontally from any existing sewer line or sewer manhole wherever possible. The distance shall be measured edge-to-edge.
(2) 
When local conditions prevent a horizontal separation of 10 feet, the water line may be laid closer to a sewer provided that the invert of the water line is at least 18 inches above the top of the sewer and installed on a undisturbed earth shelf. Where this vertical separation cannot be obtained, the sewer shall be constructed of AWWA approved water pipe, pressure tested in place without leakage prior to backfilling. The sewer manhole shall be of watertight construction and tested in place.
C. 
Crossing.
(1) 
Under normal conditions water lines crossing over sewers shall be constructed to provide a separation of at least 18 inches between the invert of the water line and the top of the sewer wherever possible.
(2) 
When local conditions prevent a vertical separation as described above, sewers passing over or under water lines shall be constructed of AWWA approved water pipe. Water lines passing under sewers shall have a vertical separation of at least 18 inches between the invert of the sewer and the top of the water line and be installed centering the water line and sewer line at the point of crossing so that the joints are equidistant and as far as possible from the sewer. Adequate structural support shall be provided to prevent excessive deflection of the joints and settling on and breaking of the water line.
