(a) Water lines shall be designed, sized and constructed so as to be in conformance with the “Village of Ashville Regulations and Material Specifications”. Fire hydrants shall be located, so that adequate fire flow to each structure, based on the current guidelines of the Insurance Services Office (ISO) can be met.
(b) Water lines should be located within the street right-of-way or dedicated easement, except under special circumstances, when this requirement may be waived by Planning and Zoning Board, upon recommendation of the Village Engineer.
(c) The standard minimum size of mains shall be eight inches (8"). If larger line sizes are required to accommodate future growth, or to provide for fire flows in excess of those required for the proposed development, the Village may participate in costs for the size increase, in accordance with the procedures of Section 1181.03 of this Ordinance.
(d) Minimum cover for water lines shall be forty-eight inches (48"). Water mains shall be laid so that at least ten feet (10') of horizontal distance and eighteen inches (18") vertical distance is maintained between the water main and sanitary sewer line. In cases where ten feet (10') of horizontal distance cannot be maintained, such as a crossing, the vertical distance shall be maintained. At crossings, one full length of water pipe should be used so both joints will be as far away from the sewer line as possible. (Ord. 2000-14. Passed 7-24-00.)
