(A) The bottom of the pipe trench shall be smooth and free of rocks or other hard objects which would cause a bridge in the pipe support.
(B) The barrel of the pipe should be directly on the bottom of the trench and the trench excavated a few additional inches in depth at the joints of the pipe if a flat bottom trench is permissible. The new main should be backfilled with clean fill only.
(C) All bends, terminal points, and extended appendages not anchored positively to the pipe line should be adequately blocked since pressures tend to blow off non- anchored ending points.
(D) Blow-off valves in low areas and on the ends of pipes shall be provided for cleaning of a main by flushing.
(E) Prior to cover-up of the main, inspection of the work must be made by the Sunman Utility Department.
