(A) Because of the rules of the 1986 Safe Drinking Water Act, being 42 U.S.C. §§ 300f et seq., administered by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, strict water safety standards must be adhered to. These rules apply to and are the responsibility of both the contractor and the Sunman Utility Department.
(B) Before disinfection, the new main must be thoroughly flushed by the Sunman Utility Department with the supervision of the town.
(C) Bacteriological testing shall be done by the Sunman Utility Department.
(D) During the process of disinfection, a solution of chlorine and water is put into the main through a corporation stop on the upstream and near the valve where water is introduced into the system. A 50 ppm residual shall be required. After 24 hours, there should be a well-defined residual remaining in the pipe.
(E) A subsequent test of a bacteriological sample taken after pipe is refilled with system water must show no coliform organisms present. The service line must be tested two consecutive times, 24 hours apart.
