New sanitary sewers and all extensions to sanitary sewers owned and
operated by any Town sewer district shall be designed by a professional licensed
to practice sewer design in the state in accordance with the Recommended Standards
for Sewage Works, as adopted by the Great Lakes - Upper Mississippi River
Board of State Sanitary Engineers ("Ten State Standards"), and in strict conformance
with all requirements of the NYSDEC, and, in the case of new sewers or extension
within Carmel Sewer Districts 1 and 3, the NYCDEP. Plans and specifications
shall be submitted to, and written approval shall be obtained from the Superintendent,
the Putnam County Health Department, and the NYSDEC, before initiating any
construction. The design shall anticipate and allow flows from all possible
future extensions or developments within the immediate drainage area.
A.
When a property owner, builder, or developer proposes to construct sanitary sewers or extensions to sanitary sewers in an area proposed for subdivision, the plans, specifications, and method of installation shall be subject to the approval of the Superintendent and the Putnam County Health Department, in accordance with § 120-27. Said property owner, builder, or developer shall pay for the entire installation, including a proportionate share of the treatment plant, intercepting or trunk sewers, pumping stations, force mains, and all other Town expenses incidental thereto. Each street lateral shall be installed and inspected pursuant to Article VI, and inspection fees shall be paid by the applicant prior to initiating construction. Design and installation of sewers shall be as specified in § 120-29, and in conformance with Paragraphs 3 through 6 of ASTM Specification C-12. The installation of the sewer shall be subject to periodic inspection by the Superintendent, without prior notice. The Superintendent shall determine whether the work is proceeding in accordance with the approved plans and specifications, and whether the completed work will conform with the approved plans and specifications. The sewer, as constructed, must pass the infiltration test (or the exfiltration test, with prior approval), required in § 120-31, before any building lateral is connected thereto. The Superintendent shall be notified 30 days in advance of the start of any construction actions so that such inspection frequencies and procedures as may be necessary or required, may be established. No new sanitary sewers will be accepted by the Town Board until such construction inspections have been made so as to assure the Town Board of compliance with this chapter and any amendments or additions thereto. The Superintendent has the authority to require such excavation as necessary to inspect any installed facilities if the facilities were covered or otherwise backfilled before they were inspected so as to permit inspection of the construction. The Superintendent shall report all findings of inspections and tests to the Town Board.
B.
Plans, specification, and pipe test results required. Plans, specifications, and methods of installation shall conform to the requirements of this article. Components and materials of wastewater facilities not covered in this chapter, such as pumping stations, lift stations, or force mains shall be designed in accordance with § 120-27, and shall be clearly shown and detailed on the plans and specifications submitted for approval. Force main details are covered in § 120-32. When requested, the applicant shall submit to the Superintendent and to the Putnam County Health Department all design calculations and other pertinent data to supplement review of the plans and specifications. Results of manufacturer's tests on each lot of pipe delivered to the job site shall also be furnished, upon request.

(1)
Local utilities shall be contacted to verify construction
plans and to make arrangements to disconnect all utility services where required
to undertake the construction work. The utility services shall later be reconnected.
The work shall be scheduled so that there is minimum inconvenience to local
residents. Residents shall be provided proper and timely notice regarding
disconnection of utilities.
(2)
The construction right-of-way shall be cleared only to
the extent needed for construction. Clearing consists of removal of trees
which interfere with construction, removal of underbrush, logs, and stumps,
and other organic matter, removal of refuse, garbage, and trash, removal of
ice and snow, and removal of telephone and power poles and posts. Any tree
which will not hinder construction shall not be removed, and shall be protected
from damage by any construction equipment. Debris shall not be burned, but
hauled for disposal in an approved manner.
(3)
The public shall be protected from personal and property
damage as a result of the construction work.
(4)
Traffic shall be maintained at all times in accordance
with applicable highway permits. Where no highway permits are required, at
least 1/2 of a street shall be kept open for traffic flow.
(5)
Erosion control shall be performed throughout the project
to minimize the erosion of soils onto lands or into waters adjacent to or
affected by the work. Erosion control can be effected by limiting the amount
of clearing and grubbing prior to trenching, proper scheduling of the pipe
installation work, minimizing time of open trench, prompt grading and seeding,
and filtration of drainage.
(6)
The trench shall be excavated only wide enough for proper
installation of the sewer pipe, manhole, and appurtenances. Allowances may
be made for sheeting, dewatering, and other similar actions to complete the
work. Roads, sidewalks, and curbs shall be cut, by sawing, before trench excavation
is initiated.
(7)
Under ordinary conditions, excavation shall be by open
cut from the ground surface. However, tunneling or boring under structures
other than buildings may be permitted. Such structures include crosswalks,
curbs, gutters, pavements, trees, driveways, and railroad tracks.
(8)
Open trenches shall be protected at all hours of the
day with barricades, as required.
(9)
Trenches shall not be open for more than 30 feet in advance
of pipe installation nor left unfilled for more than 30 feet in the rear of
the installed pipe, when the work is in progress, without permission of the
Superintendent. When work is not in progress, including over night, weekends,
and holidays, the trench shall be backfilled to ground surface.
(10)
The trench shall be excavated approximately six inches
deeper than the final pipe grade. When unsuitable soils are encountered, these
shall be excavated and replaced with select materials.
(11)
Ledge rock, boulders, and large stones shall be removed
from the trench sides and bottom. The trench shall be over-excavated at least
12 inches for five feet, at the transition from rock bottom to earth bottom,
centered on the transition.
(12)
Maintenance of grade, elevation, and alignment shall
be done by some suitable method or combination of methods.
(13)
No structure shall be undercut unless specifically approved
by the Superintendent.
(14)
Proper devices shall be provided, and maintained operational
at all times, to remove all water from the trench as it enters. At no time
shall the sewer line be used for removal of water from the trench.
(15)
To protect workers and to prevent caving, shoring and
sheeting shall be used, as needed. Caving shall not be used to backfill the
trench. Sheeting shall not be removed but cut off no lower than one foot above
the pipe crown nor no higher than one foot below final grade, and left in
the trench, during backfill operations.
(16)
The pipe barrel shall be supported, along its entire
length, on a minimum of six inches of crusher run maximum 1/2 inch stone free
of organic material. This foundation shall be firmly tamped in the excavation.
(17)
Bell holes shall be hand excavated, as appropriate.
(18)
Pipe shall be laid from low elevation to high elevation.
The pipe bell shall be up-gradient; the pipe spigot shall be down-gradient.
(19)
The joints shall be made, and the grade and alignment
checked and made correct.
(20)
The pipe shall be in straight alignment.
(21)
When a smaller sewer joins a larger one the invert of
the larger sewer shall be lowered sufficiently to maintain the same hydraulic
gradient. An approximate method which may be used for securing this result
is to place the 0.8 depth of both sewers at the same elevation.
(22)
Crushed stone shall be placed over the laid pipe to a
depth of at least six inches. The embedment of thermoplastic pipe shall be
in accordance with ASTM D232l using class 1A or 1B backfill materials. Care
shall be exercised so that stone is packed under the pipe haunches. Care shall
be exercised so that the pipe is not moved during placement of the crushed
stone.
(23)
The migration of fines from surrounding backfill or native
soils shall be restricted by gradation of embedment materials or by use of
suitable filter fabric.
(24)
The remaining portion of the trench above the pipe embedment
shall be backfilled in one-foot lifts which shall be firmly compacted. Compaction
near/under roadways, driveways, sidewalks, and other structures shall be to
95% of the maximum moisture-density relationship, as determined by ASTM Specification
D 698, Method D. Ice, snow, or frozen material shall not be used for backfill.

Flat top slabs shall be a minimum of eight inches thick and shall be capable
of supporting an H-20 loading.
F.
All joints between sections shall be sealed with an O-ring
rubber gasket, meeting the same specifications as pipe joint gaskets, or butyl
joint sealant completely filling the joint.
G.
All joints shall be sealed against infiltration. All
metal parts shall be thickly coated with bitumastic or elastomeric compound
to prevent corrosion.
H.
No steps or ladder rungs shall be installed in the inside
or outside manhole walls at any time.
I.
No holes shall be cut into the manhole sections closer
than six inches to joint surfaces.
J.
Manholes which extend above grade shall not have an eccentric
top section. The top plate shall be large enough to accommodate the cover
lifting device and the cover.
K.
The elevation of the top section shall be such that the
cover frame top elevation is 0.5 foot above the one-hundred-year-flood elevation
(in a field), 0.5 foot above a lawn elevation, or at finished road or sidewalk
grade.
L.
When located in a traveled area (road or sidewalk), the
manhole frame and cover shall be heavy duty cast iron. When located in a lawn
or in a field, the manhole frame and cover may be light duty cast iron. The
cover shall be 36 inches in diameter. The minimum combined weight of the heavy
duty frame and the cover shall be 735, plus or minus 5%, pounds. The minimum
combined weight of the light duty frame and the cover shall be 420, plus or
minus 5%, pounds. The mating surfaces shall be machined, and painted with
tar pitch varnish. The cover shall not rock in the frame. Infiltration between
the cover and frame shall be prevented by proper design and painting. Covers
shall have "sanitary sewer" cast into them. Covers shall have lifting holes
suitable for any lifting/jacking device. The lifting holes shall be designed
so that infiltration is prevented.
M.
A drop of at least 0.1 foot shall be provided between
incoming and outgoing sewers on all junction manholes and on manholes with
bends greater than 45°.
N.
Inverts and shelves/benches shall be placed after testing
the manholes and sewers.
O.
Benches shall be level and slope to the flow channel
at about one inch per foot.
P.
The minimum depth of the flow channel shall be the nominal
diameter of the smaller pipe. The channel shall have a steel trowel finish.
The flow channel shall have a smooth curvature from inlet to outlet.
Q.
Manhole frames, installed at grade, shall be set in a
full bed of mortar with no less than two nor more than four courses of brick
underneath to allow for later elevation adjustment. In lieu of brick, grade
rings may be used for elevation adjustment. Grade rings shall not exceed six
inches in depth. The total number of grade rings shall not exceed 12 inches
in height, however, in no event shall more than three grade rings be used.
R.
Manholes which extend above grade shall have the frames
cast into the manhole top plate. The top plate shall be securely anchored
to the manhole barrel, by a minimum of 6 1/2 inch corrosion resistant
anchor bolts, to prevent overturning when the cover is removed. The anchor
bolts shall be electrically isolated from the manhole frame and cover.
S.
Internal drop pipes and fittings shall be PVC plastic
sewer pipe in compliance with ASTM D2241. Corrosion resistant anchors shall
be used to attach the drop pipe to the inside surface of the manhole barrel.
A.
All sanitary sewers or extensions to sanitary sewers, including manholes, shall satisfy requirements of a final infiltration test before they will be approved and wastewater flow permitted by the Town. The infiltration rate shall not exceed 25 gallons per 24 hours per mile per one-inch nominal diameter. An exfiltration test may be substituted for the infiltration test; the same rate shall not be exceeded. The exfiltration test shall be performed by the applicant, under the supervision of the Superintendent, who shall have the responsibility for making proper and accurate measurements required. The exfiltration test consists of filling the pipe with water to provide a head of at least five feet above the top of the pipe or five feet above groundwater, whichever is higher, at the highest point under test, and then measuring the loss of water, from the pipe section under test, by the amount of water which must be added to maintain the original level. However, under no circumstances shall the head at the downstream manhole exceed 10 feet or fill to within six inches of the top of the downstream manhole. Should this condition prevail, the testing methods in §§ 120-31F and/or 120-31G shall be utilized. In this test, the test section must remain filled with water for at least 24 hours prior to taking any measurements. Exfiltration shall be measured by the drop of water level in a standpipe with a closed bottom end, or in one of the sewer manholes serving the test section. When a standpipe and plug arrangement is used in the upper manhole in the test section, there shall be some positive method for releasing entrapped air prior to taking any measurements.
B.
Test section. The test section shall be as ordered or
as approved, but in no event longer than 1,000 feet. In the case of sewers
laid on steep grades, the test length may be limited by the maximum allowable
internal pressure on the pipe and joints at the lower end of the test section.
For purposes of determining the leakage rate of the test section, manholes
shall be considered as sections of forty-eight-inch-diameter pipe, five feet
long. The maximum allowable leakage rate for such a section is 1.1 gallons
per 24 hours. If leakage exceeds the allowable rate, then necessary repairs
or replacements shall be made, and the section retested.
C.
Test period. The test period, during which the test measurements
are taken, shall not be less than two hours.
D.
Pipe lamping. Prior to testing, the section shall be
lamped. Any length of pipe out of straight alignment shall be realigned.
E.
Deflection testing. Also prior to testing, all plastic
pipe, in the test section, shall be tested for deflection. Deflection testing
shall involve the pulling of a rigid ball or mandrel, whose diameter is 95%
of the pipe inside diameter, through the pipe. Any length of pipe with a deflection
greater than 5% shall be replaced. The test section shall be flushed just
prior to deflection testing. The test shall not be performed with a mechanical
pulling device.
F.
Low-pressure air testing alternative.
(1)
In lieu of hydrostatic testing (exfiltration or infiltration),
low-pressure air testing may be employed. Low-pressure air tests shall conform
to ASTM Specification C 828. All sections to be tested shall be cleaned and
flushed, and shall have been backfilled, prior to testing. Air shall be added
until the internal pressure of the test section is raised to approximately
4.0 PSIG. The air pressure test shall be based on the time, measured in seconds,
for the air pressure to drop from 3.5 PSIG to 2.5 PSIG.
(2)
Acceptance is based on limits tabulated in the Specification
Time Required for a 1.0 PSIG Pressure Drop in the Uni-Bell PVC Pipe Association
Recommended Practice for Low-Pressure Air Testing of Installed Sewer Pipe.
Before pressure is applied to the line all connections shall be firmly plugged.
Before the test period starts, the air shall be given sufficient time to cool
to ambient temperature in the test section. If the test section is below groundwater,
the test pressure shall be increased an amount sufficient to compensate for
groundwater hydrostatic pressure, however, the test pressure shall not exceed
10 PSI. The pressure test gauge shall have been recently calibrated, and a
copy of the calibration results shall be made available to the Superintendent
prior to testing.
G.
Vacuum testing alternative.
(1)
In lieu of hydrostatic testing (exfiltration or infiltration),
vacuum testing may be employed for testing of sewer lines and manholes. Sewer
lines and manholes shall be tested separately. All sewer lines to be tested
shall be cleaned and flushed, and shall have been backfilled, prior to testing.
The vacuum test shall be based on the time, measured in seconds, for the vacuum
to decrease from 10 inches of mercury to nine inches of mercury for manholes,
and from seven inches of mercury to six inches of mercury for sewers.
(2)
Acceptance of manholes is based on the following:
Manhole Depth
(feet)
|
Manhole Diameter
(feet)
|
Time to Drop 1 inch Hg
(10 inches to 9 inches)
| |
---|---|---|---|
10 or less

|
150 seconds
| |

|
4
|
180 seconds
|
For five-foot diameter manholes, add 30 seconds to the times above.
For six-foot diameter manholes, add 60 seconds to the times above.
|
(3)
If the test on the manhole fails (the time is less than
that tabulated above), necessary repairs shall be made and the vacuum test
repeated, until the manhole passes the test.
(4)
Acceptance of sewers (seven inches Hg to six inches Hg)
is based on the time tabulated in the Specification Time Required for a 0.5
PSIG Pressure Drop in the Uni-Bell PVC Pipe Association Recommended Practice
for Low-Pressure Air Testing of Installed Sewer Pipe.
(5)
The vacuum test gauge shall have been recently calibrated,
and a copy of the calibration results shall be made available to the Superintendent
prior to testing.
A.

(8)
When the daily average design detention time in the force
main exceeds 20 minutes, the manhole and sewer line receiving the force main
discharge or the sewage shall be treated so that corrosion of the manhole
and the exiting line are prevented. The corrosion is caused by sulfuric acid
biochemically produced from hydrogen sulfide anaerobically produced in the
force main.
(9)
The force main shall terminate, in the receiving manhole,
at a PVC plastic sewer pipe "T." The vertical arms of the "T" shall be twice
the diameter of the force main. The upper arm shall be at least four feet
long; the lower arm shall terminate in a PVC plastic sewer pipe 90° elbow
in a flow channel directed to the manhole exit pipe. The "T" and its arms
shall be securely fastened to the inside surface of the manhole wall using
corrosion resistant anchors.
B.
Force main testing. All force mains shall be subjected
to hydrostatic pressure of 150% of the normal operating pressure. The duration
of the test, at pressure, shall be at least two hours. Before conducting the
test, the pipe shall be filled with water and all air shall be expelled. During
the test, water shall be added, as needed, to maintain the test pressure.
The amount of water added shall be recorded so as to calculate leakage. Leakage
shall not exceed 25 gallons per day per mile per inch nominal pipe diameter.
During the test, the owner and the Superintendent shall walk the route of
the force main and examine the exposed pipe and the ground covering any backfilled
pipe to discover leaks. Leakage in excess of that specified above shall be
corrected with new material at the owner's expense and the test repeated.
Any observed leaks shall be repaired at the owner's expense.
All sanitary sewers and extensions to sanitary sewers constructed at
the applicant's expense, after final approval and acceptance by the Superintendent,
and concurrence by the Town Board, shall become the property of the Town,
and shall thereafter be operated and maintained by the Town. No sanitary sewer
shall be accepted by the Town until four copies of as-built drawings have
been so filed with the Superintendent and the Superintendent has approved
the submitted drawings. Said sewers, after their acceptance by the Town, shall
be guaranteed against defects in materials or workmanship for one year by
the applicant. The guarantee shall be in such form and contain such provision
as deemed necessary by the Town Board, secured by a surety bond or such other
security as the Town Board may approve.
A.
All contractors engaged in connecting house laterals
with sanitary sewers, who perform any work within the right-of-way of any
highway, shall file a bond in the amount of $5,000 with the Town Clerk to
indemnify the Town against loss, cost, damage or expense sustained or recovered
on account of any negligence, omission or act of the applicant for such a
permit, or any of his, or their agents arising or resulting directly or indirectly
by reason of such permit or consent, or of any act, construction or excavation
done, made or permitted under authority of such permit or consent. All bonds
shall contain a clause that permits given by the Town Board may be revoked
at any time for just cause.
B.

$2,000,000.
(6)
All insurance policies must provide for five business
days' notice to the Town before cancellation and must cover all liabilities
of the Town and be in a form approved by the Town Board and be in a satisfactory
form approved by the Board.
(7)
The minimum insurance limits stated above shall be subject
to periodic review by the Town Board and adjustments made, by resolution,
as appropriate.
C.
Where it is necessary to enter upon or excavate any highway
or cut any pavement, sidewalk or curbing, permission must be obtained from
the Superintendent of Highways if a Town highway is involved, from the County
Highway Department if a county highway is involved, and/or the New York State
Department of Transportation if a state highway is involved.
