RULE 22. The Utility Department reserves the right to specify the workmanship and materials used on the service from the curb stop to the meter. All new service lines shall be not less than one inch in diameter and all replacement service lines shall be not less than three- fourths inch in diameter and then only with the prior approval of the Village Administrator or the Utilities Superintendent. The material shall be type “K” copper up to two inches in diameter and cast iron with slip type or mechanical joints over two inches in diameter. No soldered connections will be permitted outside the structure. The service shall be at least four feet deep. Where the pipe is laid in an open cut it shall be bedded on two inches of fine earth and backfilled and tamped to a point at least twelve inches above the pipe in place. An appropriate warning tape will be laid in the trench twelve inches above the water line from the curb stop to the water main. The remainder of the trench may be backfilled in the usual method being careful, however, that no stone over one foot in diameter is placed in the trench. These specifications also apply to trenches opened up for repairing pipes.
