A. 
All construction of water system facilities shall be under the jurisdiction of the Township, either directly, or through inspectors under the supervision of the Township Engineer.
(1) 
The Township Engineer and the applicant's engineer shall enforce compliance with the approved plans and specifications.
(2) 
The Township Engineer shall have the work discontinued in the event of noncompliance.
(3) 
The applicant shall furnish the name of the occupant, the street address, and lot and block number to the Township at least two weeks prior to a request for the certificate of occupancy from the Construction Code Official to assure that the water system inspection has been accomplished, and all fees have been paid.
(4) 
No water service connections shall be made to the appropriate street main whether tested or not unless under the supervision and inspection of the representative for the Township. Curb stop installations are subject to review and approval by the licensed operator prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
B. 
A valve shall be installed at each connection to an existing main and shall remain closed until permission is received from the Township to open same. This permission will not be granted until each section of the section has been cleaned, disinfected and flushed, sampled, tested and approved by the Township.
A. 
All pipe lines shall be pressure and leakage tested prior to construction of permanent pavement repair, a minimum of seven days after the last concrete thrust block has been cast if constructed with normal Portland cement. All materials and equipment required for testing shall be supplied by the contractor.
B. 
Hydrostatic testing of ductile iron pipe shall conform to AWWA Standard C-600, Section 13 and AWWA Standard C-603, Section 19, respectively. The pressure test shall be performed by increasing the hydrostatic pressure to a specified value and maintaining that pressure for a period of one hour. Any pipe, fittings, or valves found defective shall be replaced. Prior to performing the test, all air pockets and bubbles must be eliminated. Hydrostatic test pressure shall be 250 PSI for ductile iron pipe.
C. 
The leakage test shall be performed concurrently with the pressure test and shall be accomplished by increasing the hydrostatic pressure to a specified value and maintaining that pressure for a period of two hours. Leakage is the quantity of water that must be supplied into the newly laid pipe, or any valved section thereof, to maintain the specified leakage test pressure after the air in the pipeline has been expelled. The test pressure shall be 1.5 times the working pressure of the system at the point of testing or 250 psi whichever is greater. The leakage from each portion of the pipeline being tested shall not exceed 11.65 gallons per inch of internal diameter per mile of pipe per day. If any test of pipe discloses a greater leakage than specified, the contractor shall, at his own expense, locate and repair the defective joints until the leakage is within the specified allowance.
D. 
The contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, and equipment necessary for the testing.
A. 
All pipelines shall be disinfected in conformance with AWWA Standard C-651 for disinfecting water mains prior to being put into service. Hypochlorite and liquid chlorine for use in disinfection shall conform to AWWA Standards B-300 and B-301, respectively.
B. 
All pipelines shall be thoroughly flushed before introduction of chlorinating materials which shall be done in an approved manner. The contractor shall chlorinate the water mains in accordance with one of the methods outlined in AWWA Standard C-651 including the tablet, continuous feed, or slug methods. The method of chlorination chosen is subject to the review and approval of the Municipal Engineer and licensed operator prior to conducting the chlorination. At the end of the retention period, the heavily chlorinated water shall be flushed from the main until the chlorine concentration in the water leaving the main is no higher than that generally prevailing in the system. The contractor shall then have samples taken by an approved testing laboratory and bacteriological analyses made. Should the initial treatment prove ineffective, disinfection shall be repeated until satisfactory samples have been obtained.
C. 
The contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, and equipment necessary for the flushing and disinfection of the installed water lines including but not limited to a backflow preventer and meters.
