(B) The service trench shall not be covered, backfilled or floored until the tap has been completed and the Township DPW Superintendent has approved the installation. Clean earth or sand shall be carefully tamped every two feet above the top of the service line. This material shall be carefully and solidly compacted with proper tools. The use of clay for that purpose is prohibited.
(C) If any building drainage or plumbing system or part thereof which is installed, altered or repaired, is covered, it shall be uncovered for inspection after notice to the plumber, contractor, owner, or other person to uncover the work has been issued by the Township DPW Superintendent.
