These standards are issued as guides for design
and construction of facilities by private developers. They are formulated
so that all facilities may eventually be accepted for maintenance
by the town. With this objective, adequate life, ease of operation
and maintenance and standardization have been given primary consideration.
Each facility shall be designed and constructed as part of a future
complete system.
Any standard or specification referred to shall
be understood to be the current version of that standard or specification.
The Board may require higher standards where it believes they are
justified, including but not limited to commercial and industrial
projects and multifamily developments. The Board will also consider
approval of a design or construction method which is not included
in these standards.
The list of approved materials is under constant
review by the Board and submission of requests for inclusion of new
material is encouraged. Such requests should be substantiated by test
results, specifications and other data. Listing of a material or component
in the list of approved materials or approval of a new material does
not prevent the Board from requiring inspections or tests deemed by
the Board to be necessary before such material or component is installed.
