1-17 SHARING OF SEWER MAIN AND LATERAL INFORMATION
PRACTICE STATEMENT: Project and facility owners should use all reasonable
and available means to share sewer main and lateral information including, but
not limited to, location.
1-16 SEWER/WATER MAIN SERVICE CONNECTIONS
PRACTICE STATEMENT: Sewer laterals, water main service connections and
other utility services should be installed and locatable from the sewer/water
main to 1.5 metres beyond the property line in new subdivisions.
PRACTICE DESCRIPTION: For the purpose of health and safety, damage
prevention, and construction efficiency, the sewer laterals and water service
connections installed in new subdivisions should be extended from the
sewer/water main to 1.5 metres beyond the property line and plugged with a
water tight plug. This practice allows workers who are installing the connections
from the stubs to the homes to establish a safe stable work environment and
also minimize impact to the existing facility infrastructure. Caution,
municipalities may have different standards and practices so verification with
the municipality's requirements is necessary to ensure compliance.
