the work shown on the drawings, starting five feet outside
the building wails. The ends of sewers shall be tightly
plugged or copped at the terminal points, adjacent to
buildings, pending the connecting of oil such lines to the
building drain as specified in the plumbing specifications
and architectural drawings.

material only - thoroughly compacted by approved
methods. Trenches parallel to and within 5 feet of
paved roadways shall be constructed the some.
H. Manhole Inverts: Construct manhole flow channels of

I. Infiltration: Furnish necessary equipment to test
sewers for infiltration. Infiltration rates shall
not exceed the Local Standards. All sanitary sewer
lines upon completion will be required to pass o low

and shall be witnessed by on inspector authorized by
the local sewer utility. Infiltration under
test shall not exceed 100 gallons per inch on inside
diameter of sewer pipe per mile of sewer in 24 hours
and inclusive of all appurtenances within the
section being tested such as manholes, house
connections, etc.
J. Flushing Sewers: Flush all sanitary sewers 'except
building sewers with water to obtain free flow
through each line. Remove all silt and trash from
appurtenances just prior to acceptance of work.
K. Plastic Sewer Pipe Installation: Plastic sewer pipe
shall be installed in accordance with ASTM D2321 per
latest revision, and no plastic pipe shd,l exceed a
deflection of 5 %. Perform mandrel tests as required
by sewer deportment.
t -, Iv
