Minimum Pipe Size
2.06 Water main pipe size for all water mains shall be 150 mm diameter in low density
residential areas and 200 mm in medium and high density residential,
commercial, and institutional areas. Minimum water main pipe size for industrial
areas shall be 250 mm. Where no further extensions are possible, water mains of
100 mm in diameter may be installed, downstream of the last fire hydrant, for low
density residential areas on cul-de-sac roads. The City Engineer may require a
hydraulic analysis design calculating flows and pressures and may require
oversizing of distribution or transmission water mains.
Location and Grade of Water Mains
2.07 Water mains shall be located in the road right-of-way as shown on the
Specification Drawings unless otherwise approved by the City Engineer.
There shall be a minimum lineal horizontal clearance of 1 metre between a water
main and other existing or proposed underground services, except sanitary and
storm sewer mains. A minimum of 3 metres horizontal distance between a water
main and a sanitary main or storm main shall be maintained. In special cases
such as installations in rock or hardpan, the horizontal clearance may be
reduced, with the approval of the City Engineer and Ministry of Health, provided
the invert of the water main is a minimum of 450 mm above the crown of the
sanitary main and subject to any Provincial regulations. On side-hill streets, the
main shall, where possible, be located on the cut side of the centre line of the
street.
Water mains shall be normally designed to follow a straight alignment between
intersections. Curved alignments may be accepted provided that the pipe
alignment is at a parallel offset with an established boundary and the radius of
curvature is not less than 60 m or the minimum radius of curvature
recommended by the pipe manufacturer, whichever is the greater.
Water mains shall be designed with a rising grade wherever possible to minimize
high points in the water main. Where a high point is unavoidable, either a service,
fire hydrant, or air release valve shall be installed at that point. Where the slope
of the water main exceeds 15% the design must provide restrained pipe
anchorage.
Where the water main network is deficient the City Engineer may request,
installation of additional interconnecting water mains of a minimum 200 mm
SUBDIVISION AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICING BYLAW NO. 1570, 2007

diameter to loop to the existing water mains. These interconnecting water mains
may necessitate the provision of rights-of-way in favor of the City of Armstrong.
The maximum length of any permanent non-interconnected water main is 150 m.
All mains exceeding 150 m shall be looped except with the approval of the City
Engineer. Interconnecting mains and rights-of-way when required shall be at the
Owner's cost.
No gas main, electric or telephone duct or other utility line shall be installed in
the same trench with water mains.
Where it is necessary for the water main to cross other underground services,
the crossing shall be made at an angle greater than 70 degrees and the vertical
clearance between services at the crossing point shall be not less than 300 mm
except for sanitary sewers where the clearance shall be 450 mm between the
exterior walls of the pipes.
The engineered drawings shall indicate whether the water main passes over or
under other underground services which it is crossing.
Spacing of Fire Hydrants
2.08 Fire hydrants shall be located, in general, at highway intersections and at
maximum spacing of 150 metres in residential areas and 90 metres in high
density, commercial, and industrial areas. Additional hydrants may be required
by the City Engineer at schools, multiple family developments, commercial
buildings, institutional and public buildings, or other major developments
consistent with the current fire flow requirements of Canadian Underwriter's
Association, the Insurer's Advisory Organization (IAO), and the British Columbia
Building Code. Whenever possible hydrants shall be located near the lowest
point on the water main. Additional fire hydrants required to support new
development which are not required to meet the minimum spacing must be
installed on private property and are considered private hydrants.
Where hydrants are located other than at intersections they should be located on
the projection of the property line dividing two lots. In selecting the location of a
fire hydrant the probable route of firefighting equipment shall be considered.
A fire hydrant shall not be located within 3 metres of a utility pole, light standard,
or hydro transformer, within 1.5 m horizontally of underground service pipes or
open ditches, or within 1 m of the back of curb nor can they protrude into the
walkway.

GENERAL DESIGN
General
1.01 All subdivisions and developments within the City of Armstrong are subject to
compliance with the Provincial Riparian Areas Regulation. The Owner is
encouraged to obtain Ministry of Environment confirmation that the proposed
subdivision, strata or development will not adversely impact the environment at
the earliest stages of the approval process. Discharges to natural drainage
courses shall not adversely affect downstream properties.
The drainage system in the City of Armstrong shall consist of two components,
the minor and major systems. The minor system shall consist of underground
conduits and open channels and watercourses to convey a 25 year return flow
for residential, industrial, commercial, institutional, and high density residential
areas. The major system shall consist of surface flood paths, roadways, and
watercourses to convey a 100 year return flow. In special circumstances where
surface flood paths cannot be established, pipes and appurtenances of the minor
system may be enlarged to accommodate the major system flow.
The presence of an existing City drainage facility does not imply that the facility
has adequate capacity to receive the design flow nor does it indicate that the
drainage pattern of this facility is necessarily acceptable to the City.
All subdivisions and developments shall be adequately drained throughout the
year. Where the whole or part of any proposed subdivision or development has a
high water table or is subject to intermittent or periodic flooding, approval of the
subdivision or development shall be withheld until the City Engineer is satisfied
that appropriate steps have been taken to drain the land or otherwise remedy
such wet or flooding conditions.
Where a subdivision is traversed by a watercourse, drainage way or stream, a
right-of-way shall be provided along such watercourse or its planned realignment
of a width deemed necessary by the City Engineer for construction, maintenance,
conservation and/or beautification purposes.
