A. Both water mains and trunk mains shall be located and sized as determined by the Division of Engineering Services based on engineering considerations.
B. Unless special conditions warrant the installation of smaller water mains, or increased volume of water needs by Customers require larger water mains, all water mains for direct service to Customers shall be eight inches (8") in size.
C. In cases where water mains must be larger than eight inches (8") to also perform the function of trunk mains, combination service-trunk mains up to twelve inches (12") in size may be constructed.
D. Whenever the Division of Engineering Services deems it necessary, water mains shall be extended beyond the limits of the project so as to eliminate dead ends and the costs of such extensions shall be included with the costs of the entire project.
E. Water mains shall be constructed along the full frontage of all platted properties. Water mains along unplatted and undeveloped properties may be constructed to a point selected by the Division of Engineering Services. The Division of Engineering Services may require water services to be constructed along the full frontage of unplatted and undeveloped properties.
F. In special cases, the Division of Engineering Services may waive the above requirements, when there is no possibility of a water main being needed beyond the Premises. However, the requirement that no Premises shall be served with water until an equitable and equivalent payment for a water main has been made shall not be abrogated.
G. If the project is located within the Oak Openings Region, the following "Oak Openings Region" note must be placed on the plans and the conditions set forth in the note must be complied with.
