§ 700.080. Water Service Connections — Excavation Requirements.

A. 

The excavation for the installation of the water service corporation stop at the Water Department's main line must be:

1. 

Of approved size, construction and shape to allow Water Department personnel to attach and operate the tapping machine safely;

2. 

Shored, if necessary to be in compliance with OSHA requirements, or if deemed necessary by the Water Department representative; and

3. 

Free of mud and water.

B. 

In addition the exterior portion of the water main must be cleaned where the service corporation stop is to be installed. The water service line complete with appurtenances including coppersetter, meter box, and casting must all be furnished and on site to be installed by the applicant before the tap will be made and the meter set by the Water Department. If the Water Department representative finds that any part of the water service line installation is not ready, the service corporation stop and meter installation will not be performed and the Water Department must be notified again by the applicant of readiness before the work will be rescheduled for a subsequent day.
