3.03 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL A. General: Do not enclose, cover, or put into operation water distribution piping system until it has been inspected, tested and approved by the Engineer. Expose all such work for testing that has been covered or concealed before it has been inspected, tested and approved by the Engineer. Notify the Engineer at least 24 hours prior to the time such inspection is to be made. Prepare inspection and test reports for the Engineer's review. Testing: Test water supply and distribution piping, and 15411-7 Water Supply System

water tank(s) prior to covering or concealment. The entire piping system shall be tested at a hydrostatic pressure of one and a-half (1-1/2) times the expected operating pressure without exceeding the pressure rating of the piping system materials, and proven tight at this pressure. Isolate the test source and allow to stand for a period of 4 hours. If testing is performed in segments, submit a separate report for each test, complete with diagram of portion of the system tested. C. Defective Work: Leaks and loss of pressure observed during testing constitute defects that must be repaired to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Repair all leaks and defects with new materials and retest system or portion thereof until satisfactory results are obtained. Prepare reports for all tests and required corrective action, and submit to the Engineer for review and approval. 3.04 CLEANING AND DISINFECTION Clean and disinfect water supply and distribution piping, and water tank(s) as follows: A. Purge all new water distribution piping systems and parts of existing systems that have been altered, extended, or repaired prior to use. Use the purging and disinfecting procedure described in either AWWA C651, or AWWA C652, or as described below: 1. Flush the piping system with clean, potable water until dirty water does not appear at the points of outlet. Fill the system or part thereof with a water/chlorine solution containing at least 50 parts per million of chlorine. Isolate (valve off) the system or part thereof and allow to stand for 24 hours. Drain the system or part thereof of the previous solution and refill with a water/chlorine solution containing at least 200 parts per million of chlorine and isolate and allow to stand for 3 hours. Following the allowed standing time, flush the system with clean, potable water until chlorine does not remain in the water coming from the system. Submit water samples in sterile bottles, taken in 15411-8 Water Supply System
