INTRODUCTION
The Halifax Regional Water Commission (HRWC) was formed as an amalgamation of three separate water utilities (Halifax Water Commission, City of Dartmouth Water Utility, and Halifax County Water Utility). Prior to amalgamation, design practices, construction procedures and materials varied for each utility. Therefore, in order to establish, as far as practicable, uniformity of practice within the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM), these design standards and guidelines have been developed by staff of the HRWC. They are to be used as a guideline of minimum standards to be met in the design and construction of water distribution systems within the HRM, and to list and suggest limiting values for items upon which an evaluation of such designs will be made by the reviewing authority. A complete documentation of all parameters relating to the design and construction of municipal services is beyond the scope of this document, however, an attempt has been made to touch upon the parameters of greatest importance and to present the policies and accepted procedures of the HRWC. The purpose of this document is to provide guidance for designers in the provision of water distribution systems, offering acceptable service which is consistent with the lowest possible installation, operation and maintenance costs. The design of these services, when submitted to the HRWC, must be over the seal of a Professional Engineer in accordance with the Nova Scotia Engineering Profession Act. This document is not intended to eliminate the necessity for detailed design; rather it is intended to standardize the materials, design criteria and method of construction to be utilized in the installation of water distribution systems. Further, it is not the intention of the HRWC to stifle innovation. Where, in the judgement of the design engineer, variations from this document are justified or required, and where the designer can show that alternate approaches can produce the desired results, such approaches will be considered for approval. In considering requests for variations from these design criteria, the engineer shall take into consideration such factors as safety, nuisance, system maintenance, operational costs, life cycle costs, environmental issues, natural topography, configuration of the bulk land, etc. Where the designer uses standards other than those outlined in this document, all appropriate documents and plans shall clearly indicate those areas of difference. The acceptance by the HRWC of the design of proposed water distribution systems does not relieve the design engineer of the responsibility of proper design, and they retain full responsibility and liability for their work as a Professional Engineer. In any case where this document requires expansion or clarification, the latest revisions of the following documents may be used for reference: Standard Specification for Municipal Services, prepared by the Nova Scotia Road Builders Association and the Nova Scotia Consulting Engineers Association American Water Works Association Standards
Nova Scotia Standards and Guidelines Manual for the Collection, Treatment, and Disposal of Sanitary Sewage, prepared by the Department of the Environment
All contract documents prepared for water distribution systems works within the HRM shall contain a clause requiring the contractor to carry out all work in compliance with all applicable Municipal, Provincial and Federal Regulations, including, but not limited to, the Occupational Health and Safety Act for the Province of Nova Scotia. Design criteria, guidelines and specifications contained in this document will be revised periodically to conform to advances and improvement in the practice of Municipal Engineering. These changes shall be noted in a revision record issued periodically to users of this document.

DESIGN REQUIREMENTS Scope
A water distribution system is a complete and properly functioning system of water mains, lateral lines from the water main to the street lines and appurtenances, including pumping stations, pressure control facilities and reservoirs, which is designed to carry and distribute an adequate supply of potable water for domestic, institutional, commercial, industrial, and fire protection purposes. Water quality is to be monitored and maintained by the Public Water Utility and the system must be designed such that the quality is maintained and distributed to customers at an adequate pressure to supply their needs. In addition to these design standards, all applicable and relevant codes and standards shall be used by the designer, including the following: Water Supply for Public Fire Protection prepared by the Fire Underwriters Survey Insurers Advisory Organization (IAO) National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) American Water Works Association (AWWA) Hydraulic Institute Standards Canadian Standards Association (CSA) National Building Code (NBC) Canadian Plumbing Code (CPC) Underwriters Laboratories of Canada (ULC)
As well, all water distribution systems shall conform to any requirements established by NSDOE. No system shall be constructed until the design has been approved by the Engineer and NSDOE. Water systems extensions must be carried out in conformance with a Master Plan prepared for the Water Service District in which the extension is to take place. The Master Plan shall identify major infrastructure such as transmission and/or large diameter feeder mains, reservoir size and location, system design capacity calculations, pressure and/or flow control facilities, and operational information.
The HRWC may enter into agreements with developers to: Ensure the Master Plan will be developed with all infrastructure components detailed which are necessary to provide the long-term, ultimate service requirements for the area under consideration. Comply with an implementation plan, approved by the Engineer. Such implementation plan will provide for the installation of key infrastructure components within prescribed time frames. Assign the amount of capital cost contribution due from the developers to finance required infrastructure works identified in the Master Plan.
For a specific extension to the water distribution system by a developer, and where a Municipal Services Agreement is not executed, HRWC may require the developer to enter into a Water Services Agreement which defines the rights and obligations of HRWC and the developer regarding construction, inspection, record collection, acceptance and warranty of the water distribution system. 3.2 Hydraulic Criteria .1 System Capacity Water Distribution systems shall be designed to accommodate the greater of maximum daily demand plus fire flow demand, or maximum hourly demand unless otherwise approved by the Engineer. Fire flow demand shall be established by the Engineer in accordance with the latest requirements contained in the publication Water Supply for Public Fire Protection, a Guide to Recommended Practice, as prepared by the Fire Underwriters Survey-Insurers Advisory Organization. Water distribution systems shall be designed to accommodate the following domestic water demands: Average daily demand: 410 litres per capita per day (90 Imperial Gallons per capita per day). Maximum daily demand: 680 litres per capita per day (150 Imperial Gallons per capita per day). Maximum hourly demand: 1025 litres per capita per day (225 Imperial Gallons per capita per day).
The water distribution system shall be designed for a gross population density of 45 persons per hectare (18 persons per acre). In developments where the anticipated population exceeds or is anticipated to exceed the population density of 45 persons per hectare or in areas of commercial or industrial development, the domestic demand shall be adjusted accordingly. The design population or assumed domestic demand must be clearly specified in the calculations submitted for review and approval. .2 Hydraulic Analysis Water distribution designs shall be supported by a hydraulic analysis of the system which determines flows, pressures and velocities under maximum day plus fire, maximum hour and minimum hour conditions. The analysis shall be of sufficient scope to identify and describe any impact on the existing system. The analysis shall include a location of known hydraulic grade line determined by the Engineer and include demands on the existing system downstream of the known hydraulic grade line, as well as demands generated by the proposed development. Maximum day plus fire analysis shall include sufficient scenarios to test all extreme conditions, such as high fire flow requirements, fires at locations of high elevations and fires at a location remote from the source or feeder main. Subject to the Engineers review, new water system extensions of 30 single family units or less, may not require a hydraulic analysis if it can be demonstrated that minimal or no impact will be created on the existing system. HRWC has an ongoing program which will result in the establishment and maintenance of calibrated hydraulic network models for all areas of each distribution system. HRWC uses WaterCad 6.0 or higher by Haestad Methods and use of the same software by developers and consultants is encouraged. For areas where HRWC has a calibrated model, the following procedure will apply for fulfilling the designers hydraulic analysis obligations. Prior to requesting approval of a final detailed design, the developer shall submit to HRWC a schematic of the proposed distribution system extension, including the location(s) of connection to the existing system, land areas of the development and estimates of average domestic demand and required fire flow. Where the development contains uses other than residential, calculations shall be submitted demonstrating the average and peak domestic demand for the non-residential portion.
HRWC will perform preliminary analysis and determine a point of constant hydraulic grade line in the distribution system. HRWC will provide the developer with the following: The location(s) of constant hydraulic grade line. The hydraulic grade line value at the location for each demand condition. A hard copy map of the hydraulic network model for the distribution system between the location(s) of constant hydraulic grade line and the proposed development. Tabular printouts giving all relevant information in the HRWC calibrated model for the area of the existing distribution system to be analysed.
Prior to final approval, the developer shall submit to HRWC a copy of the hydraulic analysis indicating, as a minimum, flows, pressures and velocities at maximum day and peak hour conditions. Where the developers consultant uses WaterCad 4.5 or compatible software, the hydraulic analysis shall be submitted in digital form on a 3.5 inch floppy disk. The following shall be observed in electronic submissions: Submit a single file in .wcd format. Networks shall be drawn to scale in 1 DXF unit = 1 m (select SI units in Global Options) and in real world coordinates. Background drawings shall be submitted in .dxf format. Submit only the physical alternatives proposed in the subdivision design. Different demand conditions shall be expressed as different demand alternatives and run as different scenarios. Hazen Williams formula for friction loss. Units: flow (L/S), distance (m), elevation (m), pressure (kPa).
For each node document the demand basis for that node (e.g. 5 residential units plus large format commercial) at the comments tab for each nodes dialogue box.
Fire flow analysis may be undertaken on a node by node automated basis or as individual scenarios for discrete nodes. Fire flows used must be supported by calculation as prescribed in the document Water Supply for Public Fire Protection by the Fire Underwriters Survey Insurance Advisory Organization. Fire flows must be checked for all critical locations which include locations of high fire demand, remote from the source of supply or relatively high elevation. The developers consultant shall provide a written summary of their findings complete with recommendations to HRWC. Where the consultant does not have access to HRWC compatible software, the prescribed procedure will be followed excepting the requirement for digital submission.
.3
Minimum/Maximum Pressures Water distribution systems shall be designed and sized such that during a fire flow condition, a minimum residual pressure of 150 kPa (22 psi) is maintained in the distribution system. For any water system extension within Serviceable Area and/or Water Service District boundaries, a minimum residual water pressure of 275 kPa (40 psi) must be maintained at all points along the distribution mains in the water system during maximum hourly demand conditions unless approved by the Engineer. Maximum water pressure during minimum demand periods is not to exceed 620 kPa (90 psi) unless approved by the Engineer.
.4
Limiting Velocities The water main shall be sized such that the maximum velocity in the pipe shall not exceed 1.5 meters per second (5 ft/sec) during maximum hourly domestic flow conditions or 2.4 meters per second (8ft/sec) during fire flow conditions unless otherwise approved by the Engineer.
.5
Looping Water distribution systems shall be designed to exclude any dead-ended pipe unless otherwise approved by the Engineer.
.6
Supply Redundancy Water distribution systems shall be designed such that no group of 30 or more customers is supplied by a single source of supply.
.7
Minimum Size The minimum size of pipe shall be 200 mm for local distribution mains. The size of pipe in a main feeder grid shall be a minimum of 300 mm or such other size that may be required to properly serve the development with domestic water and fire protection to the approval of the HRWC.
.8
Pumped Systems .1 General Requirements As a result of difference in ground elevations or distance from the source of supply, isolated areas may require pressure boosting of the water system to provide adequate pressure and flows to meet either domestic or fire flow requirements. To accomplish this, a pumping station shall be required to service a specific area of a water distribution system based on defined limits. These areas are generally isolated from the remainder of the system. Discharge pressure from the pumping station must be adequate to ensure that the pressure in the water mains in the area being serviced is within the range of 275 kPa (40 psi) to 620 kPa (90 psi) during peak and minimum domestic demand periods. In the case of fire flows, the pressure in the water main shall be at least 150 kPa (22 psi). Domestic water demand will vary greatly from one area to another. For design purposes, existing records for average, maximum daily and peak rates should be used whenever possible. In the absence of such records, the following demands shall be used: Average daily, maximum daily and maximum hourly demands are as specified in this document (Section 3.1.1). For peak demands (i.e. Flow when residential consumption including lawn watering is at its highest) a minimum of 5.45 litres per minute (1.2 Imperial Gallons per minute) per dwelling unit is to be used.
.2
Pumps Domestic booster pumps, fire booster pumps and appurtenances including capacity, system sizing, control facilities, layout, installation, testing, etc. must meet all applicable and relevant standards and codes. Since a single system head curve cannot be developed due to changing demands within the system, projected points of operating head and flow for at least the following conditions shall be developed: average day maximum day maximum hour (p.m.) maximum hour (a.m.) minimum hour
Pumps must be selected which will operate satisfactorily over the necessary pumping ranges expected at the station, from a minimum total dynamic head to a maximum total dynamic head. In general, the pumps must be capable of meeting the following criteria: the rated point corresponding to the maximum day consumption rate the rated point for efficiency evaluation (the point at which the pump would normally run and at which the pump should be selected for best efficiency) the possible operating range (the range over which the pump must operate from a minimum total dynamic head to a maximum total dynamic head) the available Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) must be specified
All four of these criteria must be evaluated when a pump is selected. Typically, the unit will operate at a total dynamic head considerably less than the ultimate rated point. Therefore, the maximum efficiency point should be specified as that point at which the pump will normally run. The rated point must be selected as the point for which the pump will have to overcome the greatest amount of head with a specified flow rate. Pumps should be selected to avoid the following conditions: Pumps subject to destructive low-head, highflow cavitation.
High power consumption while handling low loads. Noise levels audible beyond the station.
All pumps with mechanical couplings must be aligned on site by a manufacturers representative, prior to being placed in service. Prior to any pump being placed in service, the manufacturers representative shall certify that the pump was correctly installed. .1 Domestic Booster Pumps The pumping station shall have at least three (3) domestic pumps (one lead/jockey pump and two lag pumps). The pumps shall be sized such that the capacity of the pumping station with the largest domestic pump out of service and when the area is completely developed shall be as follows: 80% of peak demand for pumped systems 100% of maximum day demand for systems with elevated storage
The pumps shall have the following service capability: Lead pumps shall provide a maximum of 25 percent of peak demand and provide an adequate supply during normal periods of domestic demand. Lag pumps shall provide a maximum of 55 percent of peak demand, provide an adequate supply to meet maximum hourly or peak demand periods, and provide an adequate supply in the event of failure of the lead pump.
.2
Fire Booster Pumps The fire booster pump shall have adequate capacity to supply the necessary fire flow demand.
.3
Pump House .1 Civil The pump house building shall be of adequate size to accommodate the pumps, pump motors, control panel, auxiliary power supply, oil tank, and other accessories. These items shall be located in the building taking into consideration safety for operators and convenient access for maintenance. The pump house building design and construction shall meet the requirements of the latest edition of the National Building Code. Exterior wall assembly shall be 200 mm split face concrete block with a minimum of R-10 insulation. There shall be no windows in any exterior wall. Adequate ventilation for all mechanical equipment shall be provided by vandal resistant, heavy-duty type steel intake and exhaust louvers. Engine emissions shall be directed away from the building so as not to create a ventilation short circuit. Provision shall be made to support wall-mounted equipment inside the building. The building shall have a hip roof with a minimum slope of 12 horizontal to 6 vertical and have a minimum of R-20 insulation. The building floor shall be a minimum 150 mm above the external ground surface and any potential flood level. Pumphouse floors shall be poured reinforced concrete and sloped towards the access door. All interior wall surface, doors and trims should be painted to a colour scheme as approved by the Engineer. A non-metallic coloured hardener shall be added to the concrete floors during the finishing process to a colour scheme as approved by the Engineer. Lifting devices of a type approved by the Engineer should be incorporated into the design of the structure so that pumps and/or motors can easily be transferred from their location within the station to an access door. Doors shall swing outward to open and all door locks shall be keyed alike to the HRWC standard system.
.2
Electrical & Miscellaneous The pumping station shall be provided with a three-phase power supply. Design and installation of the power supply system shall meet all applicable and relevant standards and codes. Full stand-by power supply shall be provided utilizing a standby diesel generator set. The power generating system shall be capable of providing continuous electric power during any interruption of the normal power supply. The stand-by power unit shall be designed with adequate capacity to operate fire and domestic pumps, control and monitoring systems, and heating and lighting systems within the pump house. The generating system shall include the following items: Diesel engine Alternator Control Panel Automatic change over equipment Automatic ventilation system Battery charger and battery Fuel supply unit, etc.
Pumping station equipment shall be equipped with control systems provided by the pump manufacturer, and compatible with the pumping station monitoring system.

.2
Cover Over Water Mains All water mains shall be designed and installed with a minimum cover of 1.6 m. The maximum allowable depth of cover shall be 2.0 m. The depth of cover shall be measured from the finished surface design grade over the pipe to the crown of the water pipe.
.3
Water Main Location .1 All water mains shall normally be installed at a consistent grade to avoid localized high points in the same trench as the gravity sewer pipes. The location of the water mains and laterals relative to sewers shall meet the requirements of the HRM and the NSDOE. The water main shall maintain a minimum 500 mm horizontal and a 300 mm vertical separation in common trench conditions from the sewer mains. If this separation cannot be achieved, the water main shall be installed in a separate trench with a minimum 3.0 m separation from the sewers. When it is not possible to obtain proper horizontal and vertical separation as stipulated, the sewer shall be designed and constructed equal to water pipe and shall be pressure-tested to assure water tightness. Whenever sewers must cross under water mains, a separation of at least 450 mm must be maintained between the top of the sewer and the bottom of the water main. When the elevation of the sewer cannot be varied to meet this requirement, the water main shall be relocated to provide this
.2
.3
separation. Catch basin lead inverts shall be shown on the drawings to facilitate checking of clearances. .4 All water mains shall be located within the public street right of way or within an easement. Easements shall be a minimum width of 6.0 m, granted in favour of the HRWC. Depending on the length and location of the easement, an appropriate access road may be required within the easement for maintenance and operation purposes. Where the easement contains a sewer and water main, the easement shall be jointly granted to the HRM and the HRWC. Where the water easement is within a walkway, the easement shall be granted to the HRWC prior to the transfer of ownership of the walkway to the HRM. Where possible the water mains shall be installed in a straight line within the travelled way portion of the street right of way and a minimum of 1.5 m from the face of the curb. On existing streets without curb and gutter the water main may be installed within the gravel shoulder area. Changes in alignment shall be accomplished by the use of pre-manufactured bends. Minor curvature of pipe along its length or at joints may be permitted under certain site conditions at the discretion of the Engineer. Water mains shall maintain a minimum 1.5 m horizontal separation from electrical or telephone conduit, steam or hot water piping, transformer pads, utility poles, gas lines or other utilities. Where a need is identified to facilitate continued/future development on adjacent lands, water mains, and easements as required, shall be extended to the limit of the property boundary of the subdivision.
.5
.6
.7
.4
Valves .1 All connections to existing water systems shall be valved so that the system can be isolated from the existing main to facilitate construction and testing while maintaining service in the existing main. Dead end stubs left for future extensions shall be provided with a valve so as to minimize service interruptions. Valves on dead end stubs are to be restrained/tied back to upstream piping as required to protect against the thrust that develops in the water system. Valves shall be provided on water mains to satisfy the following requirements. .1 Four valves shall be required at each normal four-way street intersection. If there are more or less than four streets meeting at
.2
any intersection, the appropriate number of valves shall be installed to allow complete isolation of the system. .2 Main line valves shall be located at a standard distance of 1.0 m from the centre of the tee/cross at intersections. On straight runs the maximum spacing for main line valves shall be 150 m for commercial/industrial areas, and 250 m for urban residential areas. This maximum spacing may be increased in residential areas with larger lot sizes. For looped systems with close intersection spacing, main line and intersection valve spacing may be adjusted providing that adequate shut down capability is provided on the system without putting more than 30 customers out of service at any time. For cul-de-sacs looped through easements a valve shall be provided separating the street and the easement, and located within the asphalt portion of the cu-de-sac bulb. Gate valves shall be used for valves 300 mm diameter and smaller. Butterfly valves shall be used for valves 350 mm diameter and larger.
.3
.4
.5
.6 .7
.5
Hydrants .1 Fire hydrants shall be provided at spacing in accordance with the requirements of the latest revision of the publication Water Service for Public Fire Protection. The layout of the hydrants within the water system shall be designed in consideration of the following desirable location criteria. .1 The maximum spacing shall not exceed 150 m. Spacing requirement shall be reduced to provide increased fire protection for systems servicing other than single family residential development. Locate hydrant at the extension of the boundary line between two lots. Locate hydrant a minimum 1.8 m from the edge of a driveway and minimum 3.0 m from a utility pole, transformer, or utility junction box.
.2
.3
.4
Locate hydrant at high point of water main profile unless automatic air release valves are required at that location. Locate hydrant mid-block on cul-de-sacs that have a looped connection to the distribution system. Dead end mains shall terminate at a hydrant or blow off, as determined by the Engineer, to permit flushing of the distribution system
.5
.6
.2
The branch pipe to the hydrant shall be 150 mm in diameter and shall include a 150 mm diameter branch valve connected directly to the main with a hydrant anchor tee. For greater thrust protection the hydrant shall be mechanically restrained from the valve to the hydrant. Where the hydrant branch is the extension of a dead end main, the hydrant valve and branch piping shall be mechanically tied to the distribution system. All hydrants are to be re-painted to Commission standards (Standard dwg. #2401 and section 2.5.1.8) prior to acceptance by the Commission. All hydrants are to have a 300 mm square blue marker consisting of 6 mm plywood installed on the pumper nozzle until the hydrant is put into service. The HRWC standard specification approves the installation of several different types of hydrants. However, it is HRWCs objective to maintain general conformity of hydrant types within areas or subdivisions. The designer shall determine which type(s) of hydrants exist at the connections to the distribution system. HRWC has specified the following policy with the objective of ensuring the required degree of uniformity and maintain opportunities for supply and purchase of accepted hydrants. On major or minor collector roads hydrant type must be consistent between intersections with other collector roads. Hydrant type on collector roads is permitted to change at the intersection with another collector road. In general, subdivisions must utilize the type of hydrant established for that subdivision, and remain consistent within that subdivision. A new hydrant type may be selected for a subdivision subject to the following criteria:
.3
.4
.5
The Subdivision intersects with either a minor or major collector road in which case the hydrant type may change at that intersection. The ultimate development of the subdivision will result in the installation of five (5) or more new hydrants. All cul-de-sacs must utilize the type of hydrant used on its intersecting street.
The above policy is a guideline, loosely based on the HRM Road Classification system and its application is not intended to be restricted to strict traffic based criteria. The final decision as to hydrant type rests with the Engineer. .6 Trench Drainage Relief System .1 The design of the water system shall give consideration to the possible change in ground water movement caused by the use of pervious bedding material. The design shall include corrective measures to prevent flooding as a result of this ground water movement. .1 Water mains installed in a single pipe trench may require a trench drainage relief system to lower the ground water in the trench. The design of the relief system shall be specific to the situation with consideration for topography, subsurface conditions, ground water conditions and local drainage patterns. Service lateral trenches that have a trench bed sloping down from the main trench may require the installation of an appropriate clay plug, or similar solution, to prevent the flow of ground water from the trench towards the abutting properties.
.2
.7
Thrust Restraint .1 Any change in direction of the water main, in excess of the pipe joint deflection tolerance, shall be made using an appropriate fitting. Thrust blocks shall be designed and installed in conjunction with these fittings. The thrust block design shall consider the operating pressure, surge pressure, peak flow velocity and in situ material bearing strength. Thrust restraint for vertical bends shall be by gravity thrust blocks located below the fitting and shall be connected to the fitting with galvanized tie rods securely embedded in concrete.
.2
.3
The use of mechanical joint restraint is permitted on 11, 22, and 45 Deg. horizontal bends on 300 mm diameter and smaller. No pipe joints are allowed within the minimum pipe length denoted in Standard Drawing No. 3272. Subject to the Engineers discretion, mechanical restraint devices shall be used in addition to gradient restraint anchor blocks for pipes installed at grades steeper than 16%. The use of mechanically restrained joints shall be required where in the opinion of the Engineer, there is a potential for separation of joints as a result of fill settlement (deep fill) or where future excavation may expose the main.
.4
.5
.8
Air Relief Valve and Vacuum Valves .1 Air relief and vacuum valves shall be installed, in a manhole, at all significant high points in the distribution system and at such other locations as required for efficient operation of the water system.
.9
Service Laterals .1 .2 Service Laterals (100 mm and greater) refer to Section 00008, 3.3.1.1 Service Laterals (copper 50 mm and smaller) .1 All water service laterals shall be installed with a minimum cover of 1.6 m and a maximum cover of 2.0 m. The water service lateral shall maintain a minimum 300 mm separation horizontal above and vertical from the gravity sewer laterals. In cases where a pressure sewer service is to be used, install water service in a separate trench with a 3.0 m horizontal separation. In order to ensure protection from frost penetration, water service laterals shall be installed with insulation for the entire length of the water service (main to building). The specific method of frost protection shall be approved by HRWC. Insulation of service laterals (50 mm diameter and smaller) is required in the following situations: Sites where laterals are to be installed in trenches that have been excavated in rock.
.2
Sites where stockpiled or processed rock material is to be used for backfill. All applications and situations where the service lateral is considered to be at risk of freezing as determined by the HRWC representative.
In the above-noted situations, the requirement for insulation can be addressed through the use of rigid polystyrene trench insulation and/or pipe sleeve insulation, subject to HRWC approval. In applications where site conditions prevent the full depth installation of services, pipe sleeve insulation is not to be used as a substitute for rigid polystyrene trench insulation. Pipe sleeve insulation products may be used in addition to the rigid trench insulation in these situations. .3 When water service laterals cross sewer pipes, the water lateral shall cross over the sewer lateral and maintain a minimum vertical separation of 450 mm. All water service laterals, from the main line to the property line, shall be provided by the developer of the lot. A single service shall be installed to each existing lot or potential future lot which could be created under the zoning in effect at the time of the water system installation. There shall be no more than one service lateral provided per building unless otherwise approved by the Engineer. The standard minimum domestic water lateral sizing to be as follows: 20 mm (for single residential domestic services) 25mm (for single residential domestic services) where: water system pressure in the municipal system is less than 345 kPa (50 psi) or the set back is greater than 30 m (100 ft)
.4
.5
25 mm (for domestic commercial uses)
Water service size is to be approved by HRWC dependent on required flow, internal plumbing arrangements, peak domestic demand, service length, and operating pressure. Maximum velocity of water flowing through the water service lateral shall not exceed 4.5 m/sec (15 fps). .6 New water service laterals shall not have more than one compression fitting for each twenty (20) metre length of pipe. Water service laterals shall not be installed in driveways. Water service laterals shall be located a minimum 3.0 m from outdoor fuel tanks. In areas with onsite sewage disposal, the water service lateral must not pass under the sewage disposal field area. There is to be a minimum of 6 metres of undisturbed soil between the water service lateral and the disposal field and septic tank. The installation of a domestic service connection off a sprinkler line may be approved by HRWC under the following conditions: .1 A hydraulic analysis, sealed by a Professional Engineer is submitted supporting the proposed design. Such approval will be granted only when, in HRWCs judgement, separate taps and excavations are impractical.

Transmission Main Road Crossings .1 The following procedure shall be employed and specified when an approved road is to be constructed over an existing transmission main: .1 Excavate existing backfill material over transmission main to spring line of pipe Backfill in accordance with Section 02200. Use Type 1 gravel to 450 mm above the top of the pipe. Use Type 2 for remainder. Maintain a minimum of 1.6 m of ground cover from the top of the existing pipe to finished grade. Maintain a minimum grade, not to exceed 10%, to transmission main access road. Provide adequate drainage for new and existing roads. Provide lockable gates across pipeline road at new street boundaries, and ensure pipeline road is not accessible by vehicular traffic, except via gate structure. (Lockable gates to Standard Drawing No. 3147) Provide Road Gate Ahead signs 150 m from gate along both directions of transmission main access road. Where ditch crosses transmission main, provide 1.5 m cover over transmission main or insulate for frost protection. Minimum cover

Exact location of existing transmission main to be determined by test pit prior to final approval of road crossing design. All work at transmission main is to be approved by HRWC representative.
.11
.12
Distribution System Extension Connections to Existing System .1 Where a new distribution system is connecting to the existing system and where no means of connection is provided (stub, cap and valve) the drawings must indicate whether the connection will be made by tapping under pressure or cutting in a new tee and valve. Tapping is permitted only with the approval of the Engineer where the magnitude of a service disruption makes cutting in a new tee impractical. Tapping will only be approved when the pipe to be tapped is a minimum of one size increment larger than the connecting pipe. All tapping is subject to visual inspection by HRWC Operations staff prior to tapping to confirm that the pipe structural condition is acceptable for tapping.

Water Main Crossings .1 A water main crossing may be defined as a crossing under a railway, highway, roadway, bridge structure and/or water course. Depending on the type of crossing, the following methods of installation may be required. .1 When crossing under a roadway and/or water course the water main is to be installed in a carrier pipe. Subject to future accessibility and at the discretion of the Engineer, the carrier pipe may be constructed using DR 18 PVC water class pipe and installed with mechanical fittings to seal the ends. When crossing under a railway, highway, or bridge structure, the water main is to be installed in a casing pipe. This casing pipe and the method of water main installation are to be designed by a Professional Engineer for the appropriate situation.

After disinfectant solution is flushed from water main, assist HRWC representative in obtaining two water samples on each of two consecutive days (at least 24 hours apart) for bacteriological tests. Hydrants shall not be used as sampling points. Repeat disinfection procedure if bacteriological tests fail. Bacteriological samples are to be obtained from a test sampling tap or a copper service lateral if available. Sampling shall take place from every 366m (1200 ft) of new water main, plus one set from the end of the line and from every branch (See AWWA C651-99, Section 5.1). If service laterals are not available, a hydrant lead may be tapped to provide the required sampling location. Samples shall be collected in accordance with Appendix A of the NSDOEL Guidelines for Monitoring Public Drinking Water Supplies (Guidelines). Analysis shall be done by an independent lab in accordance with Section 410 of the Guidelines. Should any of the test results be positive, repeat disinfection, flushing, sampling and analysis. After testing and submission of the written results for the passing of the bacteriological tests, remove corporation stops and install plugs. Check visually for leakage after plugs are installed with water main under normal operating pressure.

3.11 Connections to Existing Main
.1 .2
Connect new mains to existing mains as indicated. Do not make a connection to an existing main within 1.0 m of a fitting, pipe joint or another service. The HRWC does not guarantee leak tight operation of existing valves. No work will be performed on existing main until all items required to complete the connection are on site and the outside diameter and type of pipe have been confirmed. The HRWC will operate valves in the exiting system.

When a connection is made to an exiting main (ie. inserting a new tee) an inspection of the joints for leakage must be made by the HRWC, while the main is under operating pressure, prior to backfilling. Apply where directed by the Engineer where alternative corrosion protection measures (polywrap, epoxy coating, cathodic protection) are not employed. Utilize primer, mastic and tape in accordance with manufacturers instructions.
3.12 Protective Coating

3.13 Backflow Prevention Devices .1
Backflow prevention devices are required on services if there is a risk of contamination of the potable water supply. Premises which require backflow prevention devices include, but are not limited to, the following: .1 .2 .3 Industrial, commercial and institutional buildings. Apartment buildings greater than four units. Sprinkler service lines.
.2
Backflow prevention device to be as approved by HRWC depending on flow demand and degree of hazard classification. Install backflow prevention device after approval has been obtained from the HRWC representative and in accordance with HRWC Standard Drawing No.s 2387A, B & C, 2395, 2396, 4459 & 4460. A hydraulic analysis by a professional engineer is required for every system where a backflow prevention device is installed, unless otherwise approved by the HRWC. On domestic services, install backflow prevention device immediately downstream of the water meter. A water distribution connection is not permitted between the water meter and backflow prevention device. Where a meter by-pass is required, install two backflow prevention devices parallel downstream of the meter and bypass as per HRWC Standard Drawing No. 2395 & 4460.

For fire protection systems, all piping, fittings, valves and test ports must be National Sanitation Foundation (NSF61) approved for contact with potable water (ductile iron, epoxy coated steel, stainless steel, plastic, copper or brass) up to and including the backflow prevention device. Where a pump is installed on a fire protection system, the backflow prevention device should be installed downstream of the pump. To obtain approval where the backflow prevention device is upstream of the fire pump, a hydraulic analysis must be submitted over the seal of a Professional Engineer. Reduced Pressure Principle (RP) backflow prevention devices are not allowed upstream of the fire pumps under any circumstances. Maintain minimum clearances around the backflow prevention device; 300 mm below the device; 300 mm from any wall and 600 mm in front of device (the side from which testing and maintenance will be performed). Maximum distance of 1500 mm between backflow prevention device and finished floor elevation. Install Reduced Pressure Principle (RP) backflow prevention device in upright horizontal orientation with valves in upright position. Double Check Valve Assemblies (DCVA) can be in a horizontal (valves in upright position) or vertical orientation. Piping material up to and including the backflow prevention device shall be consistent with the incoming service pipe material (refer to Section 02518, 2.10). All backflow prevention devices must be tested at the time of installation and on an annual basis thereafter, by a certified tester approved by the HRWC. Requirements for retrofitting of existing systems are the same as new construction, however, due to variable and unique conditions that may be encountered, variances from the policy on location and/or installation of backflow prevention devices will be considered. Submit the request for a variance in writing to the HRWC. Trace wire shall be installed on all non-ductile iron watermains, hydrant laterals, and water services except

3.14 Trace Wire
.1
where such water service pipe is of copper material. The wire shall be installed in such a manner as to be able to properly trace all watermains, hydrant laterals, and water services without loss or deterioration of signal or without the transmitted signal migrating off the tracer wire. .2 At the point of connection between the cast or ductile iron watermains, with any non iron watermain, the tracer wire shall be connected to the first valve box, or as directed by HRWC. Tracer wire shall be laid flat and securely affixed to the pipe at three (3) metre intervals. The wire shall be protected from damage during the excavation of the works. No breaks or cuts in the tracer wire or tracer wire insulation shall be permitted. At water service saddles, the tracer wire shall not be allowed to be placed between the saddle and the watermain. Except for approved spliced in connections, tracer wire shall be continuous and without splices from valve box to valve box, valve box to fire hydrant, or fire hydrant to fire hydrant. The tracer wire system shall be tested for functionality by HRWC staff only after the contractor has confirmed and demonstrated that the entire tracer wire system is installed and is functioning properly as per Section .1 herein. If deficiencies are found in the tracer wire system when tested by HRWC staff, then the contractor shall be charged the full cost incurred by the Commission for all subsequent visits to confirm functionality and acceptability of the tracer sire system.
