Trench backfill shall be compacted by water jetting the ditches. The method of jetting the ditches shall be by placing a one inch or larger steel pipe to within two feet of the bottom of the trench at intervals not to exceed 20 feet and allowing the water to saturate the ditch until the excess water comes to the surface of the ditch section. The compacting method prescribed herein shall be strictly adhered to. Any variance from the prescribed method shall be with the approval of the Superintendent of Public Works or the Superintendent's representative only. In lieu of the prescribed method of compaction, the trench shall be backfilled and hand or mechanically tamped in one-foot layers.
