CITY OF ELLENSBURG
SEWER INSTALLATION
9-23-09

ALL SANITARY SEWERS SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THESE SPECIFICATIONS, THE CITY OF ELLENSBURG STANDARD
PLANS, AND THE STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS FOR MUNICIPAL
CONSTRUCTION AND AS STAKED BY THE ENGINEER.

The following is an outline the City of Ellensburg requires for sewer construction.

The Contractor will furnish and operate all tools and equipment needed to complete the
project, including safety, dewatering, pipe installation, pipe cleaning and testing.

Pipe laying
1. Bedding shall provide uniform support along the entire barrel without load
concentration at joint collars or bells. Blocking will not be allowed to adjust pipe
to grade.
2. Sewer pipe will be laid to a true line and grade at the invert of the pipe. The sewer
pipe shall be laid up grade from the point of connection on the existing sewer. The
pipe shall be laid with the bell forward or upgrade. The forward end of the bell
shall be kept tightly closed with an approved temporary plug.
3. Ground water is strictly prohibited from entering a sanitary sewer. Sediment must
be removed from ground water before it is allowed to enter a Storm drain. Obtain
City approval prior to discharge into a Storm drain.

Joints
1. J oints shall be clean of dirt and other foreign material. Any gaskets that are
disturbed or rolled shall be removed, replaced, and relubricated before joining the
pipe sections.
2. The Contractor shall use a factory-fabricated adapter coupling as approved by the
Engineer to join dissimilar pipe.

Service line connections
Taps into existing sewer mains shall be performed by the City. The contractor is
responsible for exposing the main, providing shoring, backfill and surface restoration.

Protection of existing sewer facilities
1. All existing live sewers shall be kept in service at all times. The Contractor shall
make provisions for handling and disposing of sewage flow. The Contractor shall
repair damage to existing sewers. The City must inspect all repair work.
2. Whenever possible, the contractor shall plug the downstream end of the sewer
prior to construction. Any debris of water in the new line shall be cleaned by the
contractor prior to removal of the plug.

Backfilling sewer trenches
1. Backfilling in the vicinity of catch basins, manholes, or other appurtenances will
not be permitted until the cement in the masonry has thoroughly hardened.
K:\PW Details\sewer installation.doc
2. Backfill above the pipe shall be accomplished in such a manner that the pipe will
not be shifted out of position or damaged. Compaction shall be as indicated in the
plans and specifications.

Cleaning and testing
1. The contractor will be responsible for cleaning the new line prior to testing and
inspection. All work involving cleaning and testing of sewer lines shall be
accomplished within fifteen working days after backfilling. The Contractor shall
test sewer lines by low air pressure, or as approved by the City, in the presence of
a City inspector.
2. The City will perform television inspection on mains.
3. If any sewer installation fails to meet the requirements of the test method used,
the Contractor will determine the source of the leakage or defect and perform the
repair.

Air Pressure Test
Refer to APWA Standard Specifications for Municipal Construction 7-17.3 (4) d.

Water Testing
Refer to APWA Standard Specifications for Municipal Construction 7-17.3 (4) b.

Television inspection
1. Television inspection will be required of new sewer mains. Costs incurred in
making the initial inspection will be included in the permit from the City.
2. The Contractor will bear all costs incurred in correcting any deficiencies found
during the television test, including the cost of any additional television inspection
that may be required to verify the correction of the deficiency.

The City of Ellensburg sewer crews will TV the sewer mains once the contractor has
completed the following items:

1. The new line has passed the pressure test and there are no repairs or changes
needed.
2. The line is clean of ALL debris and has no leaks in the pipe or manholes.
3. The TV crew requires firm, smooth, unyielding access to all manholes (preferably
crushed rock).
4. All other utilities in the vicinity of the sewer main need to be in before any testing can
take place.
This reduces the risk of disturbances to the new line.

Call the sewer department 72 hours in advance of needing the test or schedule through your
inspector. The pipe will need a minimal amount of water ran through it to allow the camera
to check for bellies and sags. The maximum belly allowed in the pipe is .

It is strongly advised that completion and acceptance of all tests occur in a timely fashion to
allow ample time for the rocking and paving of the roads.

SEPTIC TANK ABANDONMENT POLICY

The City of Ellensburg Sewer Department has the following policy
regarding abandoning septic tanks within the City of Ellensburg.

1. All septic tanks that are abandoned must be inspected or verified by the Sewer
Department. The abandonment inspection or verification is required with or
without side sewer connection of the property to the City Sewer system. The
Sewer Permit for inspection must be obtained from the Public Works
Department.

2. The lid of the septic tank shall be removed or destroyed. The septic tank must
be pumped out and filled with clean fill. Call the City Sewer Department at
962-7277 to schedule the inspection of abandoned septic tank. This may be
done at the same time as inspection of a new side sewer connection to a City
sewer main.

3. The contractor shall provide the Sewer Department a copy of the bill from a
septic tank pumping company as proof of that the tank has been pumped out.
The copy of the bill shall be provided within 2 weeks of the septic system
abandonment.
