(C) Water and wastewater line size and location will be determined by the District, whose determination is final. (D) All potable water distribution systems including pump stations, mains and both ground and elevated storage tanks, shall be designed, installed, and constructed in accordance with applicable regulatory agency standards and current American Water Works Association (AWWA) standards with reference to materials to be used and construction procedures to be followed. In the absence of AWWA standards, commission review may be based upon standards of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), commercial and other recognized standards utilized by licensed professional engineers. (E) All newly installed pipes and related products must conform to the American National Standards Institute/National Sanitation Foundations (ANSI/NSF) Standard 61 and must be certified by an organization by the ANSI. (F) All plastic pipes for use in public water systems must also bear the National Sanitation Foundation Seal of Approval (NSF-pw) and have an ASTM design pressure rating of at least 150 pounds per square inch (psi) or a standard dimension ratio of 18 or less. (G) Any water line extensions constructed by an Applicant/Assignee shall be constructed completely across (property line to property line) the side of the subdivision or development which is contiguous and adjacent to the road or street on which the main entrance to the project is located. (H) The water system shall be designed to afford effective circulation of water with a minimum of dead ends. All dead-end mains shall be provided with acceptable flush valves and discharge piping, and all temporary dead-ends should have flush valves. The District may permit dead ends, when necessary, as a stage in the growth of the water system, but they shall be located and arranged to ultimately connect the ends to provide circulation.
