(A) Sewer service lines will be provided in areas where an existing sewer main is being replaced and where the existing services must be transferred to the new main.
(B) The new service line shall be laid with uniform grade and alignment. Horizontal runs shall be graded not less than 1/8 inch per foot toward the main. Slopes in excess of 10% shall generally be avoided. Vertical drops to the main shall generally be used to adjust for differences in grade. A standard connecting piece and/or adaptor shall be used at locations where 2 different types of pipe are joined.
(C) Materials for the service lines shall be 4 inch vitrified clay or P.V.C. pipe. Bends and fittings required for a suitable installation shall be factory-manufactured of the same material as the service line, where possible. All service connections shall be installed in a workmanlike manner in order to eliminate potential leakage or inflow into the system.
