equipment, through caving earth, electrical lines, flooding, fire~
traffic, and other potential causes. The site shall be kept free
of accumulations of trash or debris from the work. Upon completion
of the construction, the site shall be left in a neat and clean
condition, graded to drain to established channels.
WATER LINES
A. Materials:
1. Galvanized Pipe shall be galvanized steel pipe conforming to
ASTM Specification A 120-68a; or aalvanized wrought iron pipe
conforming to ASTM SPecification A~2-68, standard weight. Joints
shall be threaded, and threaded couplings with hIPS threads shall
be provided.
2. Copper, Pipe shall be flexible seamless pipe, Type "K", conforming
to ASTM Specification B88-66. Joints shall be of the soldered
fitting type, with threaded adaptors for connection to other pipe
types.
3. Valves.
Gate valves shall be brass body bronze faced gate valves, pressure
tested at 250 psi.
Service valves shall be Mueller Co. #H-10202 or anproved equal.
B. Construction:
The trench shall be excavated to the depth shown on the plans and
as staked. Galvanized pipe shall be installed by screwino the
joints tight with suitable pipe wrenches. Approved pipe joint
compound or white lead shall be applied to all male threads only
prior to assembling tile joint. Changes in mrade or alignment
of galvanized pipe shall be accomplished with fittings, and not
by bending the pipe. Copper pipe shall be instal]ed by laying
it in the trench and assembling the joints. Threaded fittings
shall be screwed onto their mating fittings before soldering.
All pipes shall be assembled at a joint before that joint is
soldered, and the entire joint shall be soldered at one time.
Before backfilling, all newly installed water lines shall be
tested for leaks by filling the lines with water and examining
them under normal system pressure.
C. Disinfection:
After testing, and after all leaks are corrected, the newly
installed water lines shall be disinfected by filling with a
water solution containing not less than fifty parts per million
of available chlorine. The solution shall be retained in the
lines for a period of eight hours, and then thoroughly flushed
from the system.
SEWER LINES
A. Materials:
1. Asbestos-Cement Pipe shall conform to ASTM Specification C-428,
Class 1500. Couplings shall be of the push-on type or the hubless
coupling type.
2. Cast Iron Pip~ shall conform to the Cast Iron Soil Pipe
Instit[lte Standard 301-68T. Joints shall be made with "l,lo
couplings.
Construction:
The trench shall be excavated to the depth shown on the plans and
staked in the field. The pipe shall be laid in the trench and
adjusted accurately to grade by shoveling out or placing sand
under the pipe to raise or lower it. A depression 'in the bottom
of the trench shall be left at the joints, and the joints shall be
coupled timhtly. Each length of pipe shall be adjusted to line
and grade ~efore the next length is installed. The maximum
deviations from established line and grade shall be:
Line ± 0.1 foot
Grade ± 0.05 foot
The sewer lines shall be backfilled by shoveling approximately
eight inches of sandy soil over and around the pipe by hand. The
remainder of the backfill shall be placed and compacted by machine
methods.

SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEM
MATERIALS:
1. Septic Tank shall be an approved steel or concrete tank of
1,500 gallons rated capacity. The tank shall conform to the
regulations of the State of Alaska and the Greater Anchorage
Area Borough Health Department, and shall be manufactured and/or
supplied by a firm whose products have been approved by the
Borough Health Department. The capacity shall be actual liquid
capacity at design liquid level. The tank shall be equipped
with an access pipe for pumping out the contents.
2. Seepage Pit shall be constructed of spruce logs of six-inch
minimum tip diameter. The logs shall be sound and free from rot
or injury defects. The logs shall be native spruce, recently
cut, of ten feet minimum length. The logs shall be notched for
jointing, to produce approximately one inch spaces between logs.
CONSTRUCTI OH:
The pits for the septic tank and seepage pit shall be excavated
to full depth, with level bottoms. All large rocks shall be
removed from the s-eptic tank excavation, and the bottom of the
excavation shall be prepared by selecting and placinq a layer
of sandy soil. The tank shall be set in place, leve~ed and
adjusted to grade. It shall be backfilled by placing soil in
layers and carefully compacting it. The cleanout pipe shall be
cut off approximately eighteen inches above finish qrade, and
capped. Care shall be exercised to avoid getting rocks or sand
into the tank during installation.
The seepage pit shall be constructed by notching and installing
the logs. A thin layer of pebbles and small stones shall be
spread on the bottom of the pit. After the top is on the pit
and the influent pipe is installed, the pit shall be backfilled
with clean gravel and sand only. If suitable soil is not available
on the site, clean gravel shall be imported. A cleanout pipe
shall be installed and capped, at approximately eighteen inches
above finish grade.
