The construction of the sanitary sewer system shall conform to the following requirements for backfilling: - (a) Imported bedding material free from stones [sand] shall be deposited in the trench uniformly on a 150mm bed of sand and on both sides of the pipe. The material shall be densely compacted to provide support free from voids. Sand shall be deposited and compacted to a depth of 300 mm over the top of the pipe. - (b) Succeeding layers of backfill material shall consist of the excavated material that would prevent consolidation or that might cause subsequent settlement. This latter backfill material shall be placed in layers not exceeding 300mm and shall be suitably compacted with a vibratory compactor. - (C) Where the excavated material is unsatisfactory for use as backfill, this material shall be disposed of and backfilled with approved granular material. - (a) Where the backfilling operations are being carried out under existing asphalt surfaces or under any area where gravel backfill now exists, the trench shall be backfilled with well graded pit run gravel [NO CLAY] and compacted to 90% Proctor Density. 22. All sanitary sewers shall have leakage tests conducted in accordance with the following requirements: - (a) All tests will be for exfiltration unless otherwise directed by the Municipality and will be carried out on not less than 100% of each size of pipe. Testing will be carried out after backfilling on sections of pipelines between adjacent manholes. All relevant open ends are to be blocked off with watertight plugs and caps. - (b) A preliminary test shall be made within the first one hundred (100) metres of each type and size of pipe laid and backfilled. This test will be for the purpose of checking the acceptability of the type of pipe and joints being used and the completeness and workmanship during installation. Successful testing of this first section will be prerequisite to further installation. - (C) The tests for exfiltration will be carried out in the following manner: - (i) The contractor shall check that all relevant open ends are blocked off with airtight plugs and caps; and that all elbows, bends, etc., are adequately blocked to safely withstand the pressure developed under the test. An approved airtight plug shall be placed in the inlet and outlet of the downstream and upstream manholes respectively. In both cases the plug shall be securely blocked to prevent movement. - (i) The test section is pressurized to 28kPa (4 psig) using an approved air blower or similar pressure regulated apparatus. The fill valve is closed and the injected air is permitted to stabilize for a period of not less than two minutes. Following this waiting period, the pressure is increased or decreased to 24 kPa (3.5 psig) and the time is measured for the pressure drop to 17kPa (2.5 psig). The time required for this pressure drop shall not be less than indicated by the table in Schedule "C". - (ili) Test gauges shall be in 5 kPa (0.5 psig) maximum increments and have been recently calibrated. - (iv) Should the test disclose that the leakage is greater than the amount permissible, the contractor shall, at his own expense, locate and repair the defective pipe, joint, joints or structures satisfactorily. Tests shall be carried out, at the Contractor's expense, to determine the success or otherwise of remedial measures applied to pipe work or structures. These tests shall be repeated, at the contractor's expense, until the results show that the remedial measures have been successful. - (d) Should the tests disclose that the leakage is greater than the amount permissible the defective pipe, joints, or structures will be located and repaired to the satisfaction of the Municipality. - (e) Tests will be carried out to determine the success of, or requirements for, other remedial measures applied to the pipe work or structures. These tests will be repeated until the results show that the remedial measures have been successful. - (f) On successful completion of the leakage test, a certificate will be issued and signed stating that the pipe tested is satisfactory. The certificate or a copy of it will be given to the Municipality for filing purposes. ## By-law No. PW-001: Respecting Sanitary Wastewater System - (9) The Municipality is to be notified not less than 48 hours prior to a leakage test being carried out so it may have a representative present during the test. 2. (C) Time requirements for tests referred to in subsection 22 hereof are set out in Schedule "B" shall and forms part of this By-law. ## GENERAL 23. The Municipality shall not be liable for any damage or injury caused or done by reason of the interruption or intermittent flow of the sanitary sewer system. 24.
