Line and grade for Distribution Mains in the absence of
curbs and gutters approved by the City Engineer, will be
established by, and as-constructed surveying done by the
Department at Applicant's expense or when specifically approved
by the Department, by a Professional Engineer or by a Land
surveyor licensed to practice in the State of California or by
his or her authorized representative. All work shall be done in
a professional manner.
When surveying is performed by someone other than the
Department, the correct alignment and elevation of the water
mains as shown on the approved drawings becomes the responsibil-
i ty of the Applicant and Contractor. Approval of the staked
alignment and elevations by the Department's Inspector does not
relieve the Applicant and Contractor in any manner from the
responsibility for field errors. Sufficient line and grade shall
be staked to ensure continual work progress.
Revised 07-92
2-12
2.10 PLACING SURVEY LINES
When surveying is required, hubs and stakes shall be
set on an offset line to mark the location of the centerline of
the main. Centerline hubs and stakes may be used in addition to
the offset hubs and stakes; however, they may not be set in place
of the offset hubs and stakes. Normal practice is to set offset
hubs and stakes five feet (5') to ten feet (10') off the center-
line of the main.
survey points shall be set a maximum distance of one
hundred feet (100') apart. All valves, crosses, tees, horizontal
and vertical bends, and fire hydrants shall be staked for
location and grade. Points of curvature and points of tangency
of curves, as well as points on the curve, shall be staked for
location and grade. All stakes shall be flagged to increase
their visibility.
stakes shall be positioned so that the survey hub is
between the stake and the main. The side of the stake facing the
main shall be marked to show the point being referenced and the
distance from the hub to the centerline of the main. The back
side of the stake shall be stationed. Grade stakes shall be set
at each hub and shall state the vertical distance from the top of
the hub to the top of the pipe. This vertical distance will be
based on the fact that the distance from the official street
elevation to the top of the pipe shall be as specified in Section
8.06 or as shown on the approved plans.
The Applicant and the Contractor shall take reasonable
steps to prevent alteration, displacement or removal of hubs and
stakes.

Orders given by the Department relating to quality of
materials and workmanship shall be complied with promptly by the
Contractor.
All materials used shall be subject to the inspection
and approval of the Department at all times, and shall not be
used before being inspected and approved by the Inspector. The
Department has the right to perform any testing deemed necessary
to ensure compliance of the materials with the Materials
Specifications. Failure or neglect on the part of the Department
to condemn or reject work or materials not in accordance with the
Materials Specifications, shall not be construed to imply their
acceptance should their inferiority become evident at any time.
Materials rejected by the Department shall be immediately removed
from the jobsite.
2.1.2 CONTRACTORS AND APPLICANTS
Contractors performing all work for main extensions
shall be competent, licensed firms with adequate manpower and

This determination is solely at the discretion of the Engineer.
The Applicant shall pay all design and installation
costs for extending mains whether installed by its own contractor
or by the Department.
Revised 07-92
CHAPTER 3
SYSTEM DESIGN
3.01 GENERAL
The purpose of this chapter is to provide general
information on the design of a water distribution system
acceptable to the Department. The Department's Distribution
System is designed to deliver water to its customers in
sufficient volumes and without excessive headloss. Specific
design and layout criteria for Distribution Mains, service
installations, Supply Mains, and Trunk Lines are covered in
Chapters 2, 5, 6, 9, and 10 respectively.
3.02 SIZING OF DISTRIBUTION HAINS
The Department designs its distribution facilities to
obtain the lowest cost over their expected life. This may not
necessarily result in the lowest initial cost when long-term
operation and maintenance costs are considered. This policy f
however I results in a water supply system that yields optimum
quality service at the lowest total cost to the consumer.
All mains will be sized by the Department large enough
to provide the consumer a minimum of forty-three
pounds-per-square-inch (43 psi) residual pressure at the building
pad at peak-hour demand for domestic needs and twenty-five
pounds-per-square-inch (25 psi) residual pressure at the building
pad at peak-hour demand plus private fire demand (established by
the local fire department) for fire services. Mains will also be
sized to meet the public fire supply requirements of the local
fire department. The Main Extension shall be capable of provid-
ing a minimum residual pressure of twenty pounds-per-square-inch
(20 psi) at the most critical fire hydrant with peak-hour demand
plus fire demand established by the local fire department.
Generally I Distribution Mains are sized for a headloss of five
feet per thousand feet (5 '/1000') of main at peak-hour flows.
The Department reserves the right to size mains to provide
service for future needs.
All new Distribution Mains shall be of the standard
sizes used by the Department. Standard sizes are: six-inch (6") I
eight- inch (8") I and twel ve- inch (12") mains. Four- inch (4")
main may be used in short cul-de-sacs not requiring fire hydrants
or fire services larger than two inches (2") in size.
The sizing of Distribution Mains normally follows a
standardized grid based upon careful consideration and analysis
of results of distribution system studies utilizing network
simulation.
Revised 07-92
3-2
In residential districts zoned R-1, mains are usually
six inches (6") in diameter in a grid system and four inches (4")
in diameter in short cul-de-sacs.
In residential districts zoned R-3,
system is usually comprised of a mixed pattern
and eight-inch (8") grid.
the distribution
of six-inch (6")
In areas zoned R-4, Commercial, and Industrial, a grid
of eight-inch (8") mains and sometimes twelve-inch (12") mains is
generally adequate to meet domestic and fire protection needs.
Looping is done whenever possible in conjunction with the Main
Extension to maintain water quality and improve reliability of
the system.
The present sizing of the grid system has the benefit
of utilizing the system as an integral part of the overall supply
system to distribute water without excessive headloss. The
Department will analyze grid systems for developing areas to
determine their adequacy.
3.03 OPERATING PRESSURES WITHIN THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
Pressures within the Distribution system shall be a
minimum of forty-three pounds-per-square-inch (43 psi) at the
building pad during peak-hour demand, whenever possible. At
building site elevations where the minimum pressure is under
forty-five pounds-per-square-inch (45 psi), the Contractor is
required to install oversized plumbing in accordance with the
Los Angeles City Plumbing Code. An Elevation Agreement shall be
executed by the Applicant and the Department for the portion of
any lot having a minimum pressure of less than thirty-five
pounds-per-square-inch (35 psi). Every effort shall be expended
to grade the lots within subdivisions to enable the Distribution
System to provide a minimum pressure of thirty-five
pounds-per-square-inch (35 psi). Future growth and main deterio-
ration result in future consumer problems if water pressure is
not provided at adequate levels. Domestic pressure regulators
are required in accordance with the Los Angeles city Plumbing
Code Where the maximum static pressure exceeds eighty
pounds-per-square-inch (80 psi) at the building site elevation.
3.04 PRESSURE REGULATING STATIONS
Pressure regulating stations are used within the
Distribution system to control pressures between service zones.
When main extension plans are submitted for review, the need for
a pressure regulating station will be determined by the
Department based on existing pressure zones and the existing
Distribution System. The Department will make all pressure set-
tings and field adjustments on pressure regulating stations
within the Distribution System.
Revised 07-92
3-3
In certain situations, the Department -will require
monitoring of the station's rate of flow and upstream and down-
stream water pressures via electronic telemetry. The equipment
used shall be of the manufacture and type specified or approved
by the Department. See section 3.07 of these Standards.
3.05 STORAGE FACILITIES
A. General: Water storage facilities will be allowed for
storing water within the Distribution System only where
specifically authorized by the Department. The type,
size, and location of storage facilities to be used
shall be determined by the Department.
It is the policy of the Department to require the
Applicant to design and construct water storage tanks
if the tank is required for the Applicant's
development. The Department, however, reserves the
right to design and/or construct (with its contractor)
tanks when it is in the best interest of the
Department.
All plans and specifications submitted to the
Department for review and approval of water storage
facilities shall be prepared by a Professional Engineer
registered by the State of California. The Applicant
is encouraged to contact the Department at least three
years in advance of when a storage facility may be
needed so adequate time is available for environmental
documentation, engineering, and construction.
B. Environmental Documentation: Environmental
documentation for tanks should be dealt with at an
early date so that the cumUlative impacts of deve-
lopment can be considered. Normally, this means that
special water supply facilities, such as tanks, should
be discussed in the Subdivision Environmental Impact
Report. Performing environmental documentation on a
tank as a separate project may result in significant
delays to the Applicant.
C. Engineering and Geology: It is extremely critical that
no grading occur on a potential tank site prior to
obtaining engineering and geology approval of the
grading plan. The Department requires that its tanks
be constructed on bedrock when possible. The
Department will establish the high water elevation and
tank dimensions after review of preliminary development
plans.
D. General Design Criteria: Specific design criteria for
the tank will be established after consideration of all
Revised 07-92
3-4
site conditions and current development plans for the
area. The following general design criteria will apply:
1. The structure shall conform to the requirements of
the Los Angeles City Building Code except as
modified by the Department to provide an increased
factor of safety.
2. All soils and geology reports shall be approved by
the Los Angeles City Department of Building and
Safety and the Department.
3. All footings shall be founded on bedrock.
4. Design of walls shall include dynamic earth
pressure.
5. Walls shall be designed to withstand possible
surcharge due to an earthquake.
6. All design criteria shall be placed on the drawing
7. water level controls and vault shall be provided.
8. Recording instruments that accurately record water
elevation shall be provided.
9. A cathodic protection system shall be provided.
10. Adequate attention shall be given to security of
the tank.
11. An adequete roadway and apron shall be provided on
the perimeter of the tank.
12. Acceptable access for workers and equipment shall

3.06 PUMPING FACILITIES
A. General: Pumping facilities may be needed to provide
adequate water pressure in the Distribution System.
The type, size, and location of all pumping stations
within the Distribution System shall be specifically
authorized by the Department. The Department will
prohibit the installation of pumping facilities where,
in its opinion, such installations would be injurious
to the operation, or future operation, of the
Department's Distribution System.
It is the policy of the Department to require the
Applicant to design and construct pumping stations if
the pumping station is required for the Applicant's
development. The Department, however, reserves the
right to design and/or construct (with its contractor)
pumping stations when it is in the best interest of the
Department.
All plans and specifications submitted to the
Department for review and approval of pumping stations
shall be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered
by the State of California.
B. Environmental Documentation: Environmental docu-
mentation for pumping stations should be dealt with at
an early date so that the cumulative impacts of
development can be considered. Normally, this means
that special water supply facilities, such as pumping
stations, should be discussed in the Subdivision
Environmental Impact Report. Performing environmental
documentation on a pumping station as a separate
project may result in significant delays to the
Applicant.
C. Engineering and Geology: It is extremely critical that
no grading occur on a potential pumping station site
prior to obtaining engineering and geology approval of
the grading plan. The Department requires that its
pumping stations be constructed on bedrock when
possible. The Department will establish the exact
location after review of preliminary development plans.
Revised 07-92
3-6
D. General Design Criteria: Specific design criteria for
the pumping station will be established after
consideration of all site conditions and current
development plans for the area. The following general
design criteria will apply:
1. The building shall conform to the requirements of
the Los Angeles City Building Code except as
modified by the Department to provide increased
resistance to damage due to seismic loads.
2. All soils and geology reports shall be approved by
the Los Angeles City Department of Building and
safety and the Department.
3. All footings shall be founded on bedrock.
4. All design criteria shall be placed on the drawings
5. The building shall be aboveground and be located so
that the pumps will be supplied by gravity water.
6. The architectural style of the pumping station
shall be compatible with or similar to the style of
the neighboring residences.
7. Adequate parking and access control shall be
provided for the facility.
8. Noise within the pumping station shall be within
acceptable levels.
9. Noise emanating from the pumping station shall be
limited to a maximum of fifty (50) decibels, DBA,
measured at any point along the property line.
10. Adequate attention shall be given to security of
the building.
11. An adequate air conditioning
and efficient operation of
equipment, instrumentation,
provided.

15. An adequate building floor drain shall be provided.
16. The Design Engineer shall obtain all required
clearances, approvals, and permits.
3.07 TELEMETRY AND CONTROL SYSTEMS
Telemetry and/or data acquisition and control systems
installed for use by the Department to collect data, monitor,
control remotely and coordinate the operations of its water sys-
tem, or the operations between a distributor's water system and
the Department's system, shall be designed, installed and main-
tained by the Department unless other specific arrangements are
made during the design phase of trunk line, pressure regulating
stations, storage facilities, or pumping facilities.
3.08 CONNECTIONS TO THE EXISTING DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
connections to Distribution Mains or Supply Mains will
generally be made by the contractor unless the Department deter-
mines it is in its best interest to have the Department make the
connection. See Section 8.26 of these Standards.
All connections to Trunk Lines owned or controlled by
the Department will be made by the Department. The Department
will provide and install all fabricated pipe, tapping sleeves,
valves, etc., that are necessary to construct the connection.

CHAPTER 5
LAYOUT AND DESIGN OF
TWELVE-INCH (12" ~ AND SMALLER DISTRIBUTION MAINS
5.01 GENERAL
The purpose of this chapter is to provide specific
information on the design of Distribution Mains acceptable to the
Department. Design and layout criteria for service
installations, Supply Mains and Trunk Lines are covered in
Chapters 6, 9, and 10, respectively. Chapter 8 contains detailed
pipe installation information which shall be incorporated in the
design as appropriate.
5.02 LAYOUT OF THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
A. Width Requirements for Main Installation: All mains
shall be installed in the paved roadway section of
dedicated streets having alignment and grade approved
by the City Engineer. When the Department determines
it is not feasible for an installation to be made in a
dedicated street, the installation shall be made in an
easement. The conditions under which such an exception
will be allowed will be determined for each individual
case, and only easements which conform to the terms of
the Department's Standard Dedication Certificate will
be accepted (see Exhibits 3 and 4 of the Appendix).
The minimum width of exclusive easements accepted by
the Department is twenty feet (20'). Nonexclusive
easements will be accepted only over full-width private
streets that conform to the City Engineer's standards
for public streets. Installations may be made in
streets or easements of other widths only when author-
ized by the Department.
B. Dedicated Streets: Mains shall be installed in
dedicated public streets of such grade, alignment,
curvature, and other characteristics as to permit them
to be laid and maintained in the normal and usual
manner. Main alignment shall be parallel to property
lines. Normal practice is to lay the main no closer
than and preferably a distance of six feet (6') from
the curb on the south or the west side of the street
except in hillside areas where they are located on the
uphill side of the street. The main shall be installed
no closer than four feet (4'), centerline to centerline
from adjacent substructures. In no case shall there be
less than two feet (2') clear between the trench line
of the main and the trench lines of adjacent
substructures. Special conditions detailed in section
8.18 apply to mains installed adjacent to or crossing
sanitary sewers.
Revised 07-92
5-2
C. Easements: Mains installed in easements shall conform
to the terms of the corresponding Department Standard
Dedication Certificate including proper surface
drainage (see Exhibits 3 and 4 of the Appendix).
D. Alleys: New installations of mains
strictly prohibited. Replacement of
allowed under special circumstances.
in alleys are
mains may be
E. Fire Hydrants: All fire hydrants shall be installed
within dedicated streets. When the Department
determines it is not feasible for a hydrant to be
installed in this manner, it shall be installed in an
easement contiguous to said dedication. The fire
hydrant easement shall be acquired on the corresponding
Department Standard Dedication Certificate (Exhibits 3
and 4 of the Appendix) and have a minimum width and
length of five feet (5') for standard installations.
Fire hydrants shall be installed at general locations
determined by the local fire department, and modified
by the following field conditions:
1. Normally on the short lateral side of the street.
2. On the uphill side of the street in hillside
areas.
3. No closer than four feet (4') clear of adjacent
substructures or aboveground facilities.
4. At lot lines.
5. No closer than and preferably at
clear of adjacent driveways
wheelchair ramps.
five feet (5 ' )
and sidewalk
6. For curbs having a radius of twenty feet (20') or
larger, no closer than and preferably at five feet
(5') from the B.C. of the curb, not in the curb
radius, and twenty-two inches (22 to) from the curb
face to the center of the fire hydrant.
7. For curbs having a radius smaller than twenty feet
(20'), no closer than and preferably at ten feet
(10') from the B.C. of the curb, not in the curb
radius, and twenty-two inches (22") from the curb
face to the center of the fire hydrant.
F. Line Valves: Line valves are required approximately
every six hundred feet (600') to twelve hundred feet
(1200') in all twelve-inch (12") and smaller
Distribution Mains receiving water from the Department.
Revised 07-92
5-3
Where blocks exceed six hundred feet (600') in length,
or if two (2) or more hydrants are connected to the
same main, additional line valves may be' required in
the middle of the block. For a succession of short
blocks perpendicular to the direction of major feed and
without residential services, several intersections may
have the valve omitted in that direction but should
retain the six hundred foot (600 ') to twelve hundred
foot (1200') interval requirement. Line valves are
generally installed adjacent to the fitting connecting
intersecting mains. Street intersections carrying
heavy traffic, or containing major Distribution Mains
in both streets may require four (4) valves, one at or
near each extended property line and adjacent to fire
hydrants, if possible.
5.03 AND TESTING
The materials and construction methods specified herein
are based upon lowest life cycle cost, not upon lowest initial
costs. The Department considers long-term operation and mainte-
nance costs to procure a water supply system that yields optimum
quality service at the lowest total cost to the consumer.
Detailed technical specifications (or a reference to
industry specifications) for purchase or approval of materials
are included in the Materials Specifications Section of these
Standards. All materials shall conform to the Materials
specifications and to all limitations on acceptable makes and
styles. Steel pipe not purchased from the Department is subject
to inspection and testing in accordance with DWP specification W-
302, at Applicant's expense. The Department shall be notified at
least four (4) weeks prior to start of manufacturing.
All materials furnished shall be new, undamaged, and
clearly marked to allow identification during installation.
Everything necessary to complete all installations in accordance
with the Engineering standards of the Department shall be
furnished and installed whether shown on approved drawings or
not, and all installations shall be completed as fully operable
functioning parts of the Department's Water System.
Where mains are extended by the applicant, it shall be
the applicant's responsibility to provide all materials necessary
for the installation. However I certain materials not readily
available from waterworks suppliers may be purchased from the
Department.
Acceptance of materials, or the waiving of inspection
thereof, shall in no way relieve the Applicant of the
responsibility for furnishing materials meeting the requirements
of the Materials Specifications.
Revised 07-92
5-4
New water industry products or materials will be tested
by the Department if the Engineer feels the product or material
has some merit. The Department will establish the criteria for
testing and evaluating the product. Adequate lead time shall be
allowed for testing of previously unapproved materials so as to
not delay the project. The Department reserves the right to
accept or reject any product or material regardless of the test
results.
5.04 SIZING AND SELECTION OF PIPE
All mains will be sized by the Department in accordance
with section 3.02.
Pipe materials will be selected by the Department in
accordance with the guidelines on Sheet 5 of the Standard
Drawings. However, the Department reserves the right to deviate
from those guidelines in specific circumstances.
5.05 PIPE FITTINGS
A. Joints: Joints and fittings shall conform to applica-
ble DWP and AWWA Specifications. Acceptable joint
types for straight lengths of ductile iron and steel
pipe are push-on and slip-joint welding, respectively.
Mechanical joints for straight lengths of pipe will be
allowed only when specifically approved by the
Department.
Lead joints may be required when installing special
fittings. Flange joints are required when installing
four-inch (4") and larger line valves in steel pipe,
four-inch (4") and larger tapping sleeves, and other
fittings. No other type of joint shall be used without
the specific approval of the Department.
Flanges and flanged fittings shall have a rating that
meets the maximum static pressure at the location of
installation. Care should be exercised to select
flanges and flanged fittings that have matching
drilling templates. As a rule of thumb, flanges and
flanged fittings having a 200 PSI or smaller rating or
class, match. Also, flanges and flanged fittings
having a greater than 200 PSI rating or class, match.
B. Closure Fittings: Mechanical couplings shall be of a
gasketed, sleeve-type, with diameter to properly fit
the pipe. Tolerance on pipe and coupling, together
with proper bolt and gasket arrangements, shall be
sufficient to ensure permanent watertight joints under
Revised 07-92
5-5
all conditions. Where pipes of different outside
diameter are connected together, or where pipe is
connected to fittings of different materials, care
shall be exercised to select the proper ring or
adapter.
C. Repair Fittings: Repair clamps, repair sleeves, joint
clamps, and similar devices shall not be used to repair
or join water mains. Pipe damaged during installation
shall be removed and replaced.
D. Miscellaneous Pipe Fittings: Adapters, plugs, end
caps, bulkheads, slip sleeves, anchor boxes, lock-joint
gaskets, yokes and rods, and other appurtenances shall
be used where appropriate throughout the system,
subject to the approval of the Department. The
Department does not intend to unreasonably limit the
installation of any type of fitting, joint, or
proprietary device; however, the installation of any
such fitting, not specifically approved by these
standards, is subject to the approval of the
Department. written request for approval of deviating
items shall be made in advance through the Department.
E. Tapping Sleeves: Tapping sleeves or clamps shall be
used to tap existing water mains that are in service
and under pressure without interrupting service. NO
TAP SHALL BE MADE IN ANY EXISTING WATER MAIN W:ITHOUT
WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE DEPARTMENT. Care shall be
exercised to select sleeves and gaskets which are
properly sized to fit the type and class of pipe to be
tapped. Where four-inch (4") or larger tapping sleeves
or clamps are used, a thrust block shall be formed and
poured behind the sleeve to prevent possible damage to
the main from pressure shocks which develop as valves
are first opened. Most tapping sleeves four-inch (4")
and larger currently used by the Department require
rubber gaskets. Pouring of molten lead during
installation may be required in some cases.
F. Line Valves: Line valves shall be gate valves conform-
ing to the Department Specifications. Line valves
shall be the same size as the main and shall open to
the left (counterclockwise). Line valves in ductile
iron pipelines shall have push-on ends. Line valves in
welded steel pipelines and valves used in conjunction
with tapping sleeves shall have flange ends. six-inch
(6") and larger line valves shall be fitted by the
Contractor with a two-inch (2") by-pass valve in
accordance with Sheets 17 and 18 of the Standard
Drawings.
Revised 07-92
5-6
G. Check Valves: A check valve permits flow in one direc-
tion only, closing when the flow stops so that no flow
reversal can occur. They are generally used in meter
installations and at service zone boundar-ies to allow
the lower service zone to provide supply to the higher
service zones during emergencies. They are otherwise
prohibited unless specifically approved by the
Department. (See Sheets 21 and 22 of the Standard
Drawings. )
5.06 FIRE HYDRANTS
Fire hydrant type and size is determined by the local
fire department. Standard types of fire hydrants currently used
by the Department are two and one-half-inch (2-1/2") single
built-up, two and one-half-inch (2-1/2") by four-inch (4") dou-
ble, and four-inch (4") by four-inch (4") double. The single
type is used where the maximum static pressure is in excess of
two hundred and ten pounds-per-square-inch (210 psi) and the two
double types are used where the maximum static pressure is two
hundred and ten pounds-per-square-inch (210 psi) or less.
Fire hydrant installations shall have all joints within
the lateral restrained. Push-on joints, cast mechanical
couplings, and steel mechanical couplings shall be fitted with
lock-j oint gaskets I yokes and rods, and anchor box assemblies I
respectively. Ductile iron fire hydrant installations shall have
the lateral, bury ell and mid-section encased in polyethylene
material in accordance with section 5.07(A) and S.10(E).
All steel mains shall have fire hydrant laterals of
steel only. Ductile iron mains can have fire hydrant laterals of
either ductile iron or steel. See Sheets 28A thru 33 of the
Standard Drawings.
5.07 CORROSION MITIGATION
For all main extensions, the Applicant shall provide to
the Department after the curbs and gutters have been-installed, a
soil resistivity survey of the main installation area performed
by a Corrosion Specialist certified by the National Association
of corrosion Engineers, or a corrosion Engineer registered by the
State of California. The soil resistivity readings shall be
taken at each intersection, cul-de-sac, 500 foot intervals, and
both sides of obvious cut and fill areas.
A. Polyethylene Encasement Material: Polyethylene tUbes
shall be used on all cast iron or ductile iron pipe,
fittings, rods, and appurtenances. Polyethylene mater-
ial shall conform to the Materials specifications and
shall be installed as shown on Sheet 11 of the standard
Drawings.
Revised 07-92

B. Cathodic Protection: All steel mains shall be placed
under a galvanic cathodic protection system that is:
1. Designed in accordance with guidelines established
in this Section.
2. Reviewed and approved by the Department.
3. Installed and tested as shown on Sheets 27A thru
27D of the Standard Drawings, by a Corrosion
Engineer (someone under the direct supervision of,
or by a Corrosion Specialist certified by the
National Association of Corrosion Engineers, or a
Corrosion Engineer registered by the State of
California.

5.08 BLOW-OFFS
Two- inch (2") blow-offs shall be required whenever a
Distribution Main dead-ends unless a fire hydrant, which can
serve as a blow-off, is provided at the same location. Two-inch
(2") blow-offs shall be assembled as shown on Sheets 15 and 16 of
5.09 STEEL PIPE STANDPIPES AND MAINTENANCE HOLES
Steel pipe standpipes and maintenance holes shall be
provided for access to four-inch (4") and larger check valves and
other installations. See Sheets 21 and 22 of the Standards
Drawings.
5.10 REINFORCEMENT OF OPENINGS IN WELDED STEEL PIPE
Fittings used to divide or combine flows (i.e., tees,
crosses) do not have as high a resistance to internal pressure as
pipes of the same thickness. This is because a portion of the
side wall of these fittings is removed to allow for the branching
pipe. The strength of these fittings shall be investigated and
reinforcement provided in accordance with Sections 13.3 thru 13.7
of AWWA MIl, "Steel Pipe - A Guide for Design and Installation",
as last revised.
5 11 THRUST BLOCKS
Concrete thrust blocks shall be sized for the test
pressure of the main and the allowable soil bearing capacity.
The test pressure is generally one and one-half times the maximum
static pressure. For design purposes, a minimum of 200 psi shall
be used for all main installations. Standard sizes and shapes of
thrust blocks based on two hundred (200) psi water pressure and
various types of soil are shown on Sheet 12 of the Standard
Drawings.
The thrust blocks shall be two thousand (2000) psi or
greater compressive strength concrete conforming to the Materials
Specifications.
5.12 LENGTH OF RESTRAINED PIPE
Ductile iron fittings subjected to unbalanced
hydrostatic forces and the adjacent sixty

Sheet 14, and Sheets 27A and 27B of the Standard Drawings,
respectively.
5.13 PROTECTIVE CONCRETE SLABS OVER PIPE
Under unusual circumstances, it may be necessary to lay
pipe at shallow depths. Concrete slabs shall be used over the
pipe to protect it from traffic. The slabs shall be designed to
support traffic loads without transmitting the impact, or load,
to the pipe whenever the pipe cover is less than two feet (2').
Concrete slabs shall be installed only with the approval of the
Department.
5.14 CASING PIPE
Installation of mains through rights-of-way or ease-
ments of others, such as highways, railroads, etc., may require
encasement or thimbles. The type of casing materials and its
properties will be specified by the agency granting permission to
cross. The casing shall not come in contact with the pipe being
encased. Such crossing shall also be subject to approval by the
Department to avoid conflicts in requirements or standards
between the Department and the persons or agency granting
permission to cross.
Revised 07-92
CHAPTER 6
SERVICE LATERALS AND METERS
6.01 GENERAL
water is conveyed from mains to the plumbing of
customer's premises by service laterals. In the context of these
Standards, service laterals include all pipe, fittings, valves,
and appurtenances up to the meter. All water pipe beyond the
meter is controlled by the Los Angeles Plumbing Code.
All new or replacement domestic and fire service
laterals installed in areas being supplied with potable water
from the Department shall conform to the following minimum
standards which shall be binding regardless of the regulations of
any other agency covering like installations.
6.02 OWNERSHIP AND MAINTENANCE
. Rule 16 of the Rules Governing Water and Electric
Service in the City of Los Angeles deals extensively with
ownership, installation, and maintenance of service laterals and
meters. These Engineering Standards are intended to be
supplemental and subordinate to those rules and will be so
construed in any conflicting situations.
A. Ownership: The service lateral and meter through which
a customer receives water service from the facilities
of the Department are the sole property of the City
under the control of the Department and installed at
the expense of the Applicant.
B. Maintenance: The Department will maintain the service
lateral and meter except as set forth under the refer-
enced rules.
A customer shall provide and maintain reasonable access
for Department representatives to all service laterals,
meters, backflow prevention devices, or other facili-
ties pertinent to water service installed on the
customer's premises.
C. Repair Services Available: The Department will main-
tain and repair the service lateral and the meter. The
customer has total responsibility for all repairs be-
yond the meter.
Revised 07-92

6.03 LAYOUT
service laterals shall not be installed within a
three-foot (3') horizontal distance of other utilities.
The main to be tapped shall extend along the front lot
line of the property to be served. In the case of corner lots,
the property may be served from the side lot line.
If service is requested for lots at the end of a
cul-de-sac street, the main to be tapped shall not be more than
fifty feet (50') from any property line in the cul-de-sac.
6.04 COMBINATION SERVICE LATERALS
A property requiring a domestic service lateral and a
fire service lateral is generally served from a single tap. The
domestic service lateral is connected to the fire service lateral
ahead of the fire service curb valve. No more than one domestic

There are three (3) categories of meters currently
being installed by the Department. Meters used to record volume
of water for domestic needs are called domestic meters. Meters
used to detect fire line usage are called detector check valves
and are used on fire services. Dual-purpose meters used to
measure combined large flows (for fire protection systems) and
small flows (for domestic systems) are called F.M. (Factory
Mutual) meters.
The characteristics which
meters are accuracy, sensitivity,
cost, and ease of maintenance.
are of special importance in
durability, pressure loss,
All meter installations will be inspected and approved
by the Department. Installations which do not comply with the
approved plans and specifications shall be made to conform prior
to acceptance by the Department.
A. Type of Meters: The various types of meters currently
being installed in the Distribution System are positive
displacement, compound, turbine, detector cheCk valve,
and F.M. The type of meter installed shall be
determined by the Department at the time of application
based upon size, service and f low requirements,
location of meter, and other conditions which may
exist.
B. positive Displacement Type Water Meters: Displacement
meters are positive in action. The measuring Chambers
supply a fixed quantity of water for each nutation or
oscillation of the disc or piston when operated under
Revised 07-92
6-7
positive pressure. Meters are available in five
eights-inch (5/8") thru two-inch (2") sizes. One and
one-half-inch (1-1/2") and two-inch (2")" meters are
equipped with inlet and outlet oval type flanges.
C. Compound and Turbine Meters: Compound meters consist
of two meters in a single case separated by a check
valve. One meter measures small flows and the other
measures large flows. Compound meters are designed so
that the small meter operates during low flows and as
flows begin to increase, the check valve opens and the
large meter takes over. When the large meter is in
operation, the small meter is also in operation.
Turbine meters are deigned to measure primarily large
flows, and should not be used where the possibility of
small flows (below the manufacturer's stated minimum
flow) exists.
D. Detector Check Valves: Detector check (DC) valves are
assemblies that consist of a check valve in the main
line and a positive displacement meter in the bypass
line to detect flow. Detector check valves are
designed to provide large, unmeasured flows for fire
protection purposes with minimum pressure losses.
E. F.M. (Factory Mutual) Meters: F.M. meters allow the
consumer to use one service line to supply various
combinations of domestic, private fire hydrant, and
f ire sprinkler systems. F. M. meters measure large
flows and are always used in combination with a smaller
meter to measure the smaller flows through a bypass
line.
F. Meter setting: All meters shall be installed in a
horizontal position and housed in a Department-approved
box or vault. The Department will set all meters
smaller than four-inch (4") except when the Contractor
is specifically authorized in writing by the
Department.
G. Meter Bypass Lines: Bypass provisions are required for
all four-inch (4") and larger domestic service
installations, unless otherwise specified by the
Department. Bypass designs mayor may not contain a
meter but shall contain an independent control valve on
each end of the installation. Bypass lines permit the
consumer to have water while the domestic meter is
being repaired or replaced.

All excavations shall be made to lines and grades
established by the approved drawings. Pipe trenches shall be
excavated to a minimum depth of six inches (6") below the bottom
of the pipe. Deviation from grades will be allowed when approved
by the Department, in accordance with Sections 8.06 and 8.07 of
these Standards.
7.05 TRENCHING OPERATIONS
A. Trench Width: All existing asphalt or concrete
surfacing shall be saw-cut vertically in a straight
line that is slightly wider on each side than the
trench excavation to prevent raveling of the remaining
pavement during excavation and construction. Removed
asphalt or concrete surfacing material in its existing
form shall not be used in any fill or backfill.
Revised 07-92
7-2
The trench shall be excavated to a m ~ n ~ m u m width of
eighteen inches (18") or a minimum of six inches (6")

S 13 INSTALLATION OF VALVES
Valves shall be handled in a manner which prevents
injury or damage. Valves shall be operated prior to installation
to ensure good operating condition. Valves shall be set with the
valve stems plumb and be joined to the pipe in the manner
previously specified for cleaning, laying, and joining flanged
and push-on joints. Valves installed in ductile iron main
extensions shall be wrapped with polyethylene encasement material
as instructed on Sheet 11 of the Standard Drawings. Val ves
installed on steel main extensions shall be coated in accordance
with section S.ll(C).
Line valves shall be located at intersecting points of

8.16 INSTALLATION OF TAPPING SLEEVES
A tapping sleeve or clamp is used to make a "wet tap"
connection to an existing main without placing the main out of
service.
Tapping sleeves or clamps may be installed side-by-side
when spec if ically approved by the Department. A two-foot (2' )
minimum space is required between adjacent taps. An example of
such an installation would be side-by-side fire service and
domestic service laterals that serve a building. The use of two
tapping sleeves, either side-by-side or back-to-back, as a
sUbstitute for a cross is strictly prohibited.
Tapping sleeves and service laterals shall be wrapped
with polyethylene encasement material as instructed on Sheet 11
of the Standard Drawings.
Four-inch (4") and larger tapping sleeves require
pouring of a concrete thrust block behind the sleeve to prevent
possible damage to the main from pressure shocks which develop as
valves are first opened.
8.17 INSTALLATION OF BLOW-OFFS
In all installations where the main is permanently
dead-ended, such as a cul-de-sac, a blow-off assembly shall be
installed. Where the main is temporarily dead-ended, for example
the boundary of a SUbdivision, a blow-off shall be installed
unless a fire hydrant, which can serve as a blow-off, is located
at the main's temporary end.
The standard required blow-off assembly for twelve-inch
(12") and smaller mains shall be a two-inch (2") as shown on
Sheets 15 and 16 of the standard Drawings. Under special
conditions, such as a long run with few taps, a larger blow-off
may be required.
8.18 CRITERIA FOR THE SEPARATION OF WATER MAINS AND SANITARY
SEWERS
The contents of this section are excerpts from the
State of California, Human and welfare Agency, Department of
Health Services' "criteria for the Separation of water Mains and
Sanitary Sewers" dated April 5, 1983.
A. Basic Separation Standards: The
Standards" sets forth the
requirements for water mains and
Revised 07-92
"California waterworks
minimum separation
sewer lines. These
8-12
standards, contained in section 64630, Title 22,
California Administrative Code, specify:
(c) (1) Parallel Construction: The horizontal
distance between pressure water mains and
sewer lines shall be at least ten feet (10').
(2) Perpendicular construction (crossing) :
Pressure water mains shall be at least one
foot (1 ') above sanitary sewer lines where
these lines must cross.
(d) Separation distances specified in (c) shall be
measured from the nearest edges of the facilities.
(e) (2) Common Trench: water mains and sewer lines
must not be installed in the same trench.
When water mains and sanitary sewers are not adequately
separated, the potential for contamination of the water
supply increases. Therefore, when adequate physical
separation cannot be attained, an increase in the
factor of safety should be provided by increasing the
structural integrity of both, the pipe materials and
joints.
B. Exceptions to Basic Separation Standards: Local
conditions, such as available space, limited slope,
existing structures, etc., may create a situation where
there is no alternative but to install water mains or
sewer lines at a distance less than that required by
the Basic separation Standards. In such cases,
alternative construction criteria as specified in
Section D should be followed, subject to the special
provisions in Section C.
Water mains and sewers of twenty-four inches (24")
diameter or greater may create special hazards because
of the large volumes of flow. Therefore, installations
of water mains and sewer lines twenty-four inches (24")
diameter or larger should be reviewed and- approved by
the health agency prior to construction.
C. Special Provisions:
1. The Basic Separation Standards are applicable
under normal conditions for sewage collection
lines and water distribution mains. More
stringent requirements may be necessary if
conditions, such as high groundwater exist.
Revised 07-92
8-13
2. Sewer lines shall not be installed wi thin
twenty-five feet (25') horizontally of a low head
(five (5) psi or less pressure) water-main.
3. New water mains and sewers shall be pressure
tested where the conduits are located ten feet
(10') apart or less.
4. In the installation of water mains or sewer lines,
measures should be taken to prevent or minimize
disturbances of the existing line. Disturbance of
the supporting base of this line could eventually
result in failure of this existing pipeline.
5. Special consideration shall be given to the
selection of pipe materials if corrosive
conditions are likely to exist. These conditions
may be due to soil type and/or the nature of the
fluid conveyed in the conduit, such as a septic
sewage which produces corrosive hydrogen sulfide.
6. Sewer Force Mains:
a. Sewer force mains shall not be installed
within ten feet (10') horizontally of a water
main.
b. When a sewer force main must cross a water
line, the crossing should be as close as
practical to the perpendicular. The sewer
force main should be at least one foot (1')
below the water line.
c. When a new sewer force main crosses under an
existing water main, all portions of the
sewer force main within ten feet (10')
horizontally of the water main shall be
enclosed in a continuous sleeve.
d. When a new water main crosses over an
existing sewer force main, the water main
shall be constructed of pipe materials with a
minimum rated working pressure of two hundred
(200) psi or equivalent pressure rating.
D. Alternate criteria for Construction: The construction
criteria for sewer lines or water mains where the Basic
Separation Standards cannot be attained are shown in
Sheets 8 and 9 of the Standard Drawings. There are two
situations encountered:
Revised 07-92
8-14
Case 1 New sewer line
new or existing water main.
Case 2 New water main
existing sewer. line.
For Case 1, the alternate construction criteria apply
to the sewer line.
For Case 2, the alternate construction criteria may
apply to either or both the water main and sewer line.
The construction criteria should apply to the house
laterals that cross above a pressure water main but not
to those house laterals that cross below a pressure
water main.

hydrostatic force. Care shall be taken not to block
outlets or to cover bolts, nuts, clamps or other
fittings, or to make them inaccessible. Ductile iron
pipe shall be polyehtylene encased prior to installing
thrust blocks. If a large thrust block is to be
poured, it shall be separated into sections by a
suitable material. Sheet 12 of the Standard Drawings
show sizes and shapes of thrust blocks. If, in the
opinion of the Department, the soil-bearing capacity is
not suff icient to provide adequate restraint based on
minimum bearing areas shown on the Standard Drawings,
then the minimum bearing area shall be increased to a
size that will ensure adequate restraint. In every
instance, the thrust block shall bear against
undisturbed soil.
Before placing concrete, all equipment for mixing and
transporting the concrete shall be clean. All debris
or water shall be removed from the place to be occupied
by the concrete. Concrete shall be placed only in the
presence of the Inspector unless inspection has been
waived prior to the placement.
B. Form Work: All forming for concrete thrust blocks
shall be done by bulkheading around the shape of the
thrust block with wood, burlap, or reinforced paper
sacks filled with sand. Sacks shall be of a size
easily handled when full, and shall be left in place in
the trench. Wood forms shall be removed before
backfilling.
If the main must be placed into service immediately,
wood may be used to form up thrust blocks. Wood forms
shall be of such design as to support the thrust until
the concrete has set and shall not be considered a
substitute for the concrete thrust block.
No horizontal struts or braces required for trench
shor ing shall remain in the concrete thrust blocks.
Prior to placing concrete, the forms and trench wall
shall be inspected and approved by the Inspector.
When concrete is deposited against the ground without
the use of forms, the ground shall be thoroughly
moistened or other provisions made to prevent the
ground from absorbing water from the concrete.
C. Minimum CUring Time: Newly placed concrete shall be
allowed to set undisturbed for a minimum of twenty-four
(24) hours.
Revised 07-92
8-20
D. compaction of Fill Over Thrust Blocks: Backfill may be
placed over thrust blocks after the surface has set
sufficiently to resist the weight of the backfill.
However, no tamping or compacting shall" be allowed
above the thrust block for a minimum of twenty-four
(24) hours after placement.
8.22 CONCRETE STRUCTURES
A Form Work: Forms shall conform to shapes, lines and
dimensions of the members as shown on the drawings.
Form work shall also be in compliance with applicable
local building and construction codes. Embedded metal
ties with snap-off ends shall be used for internal form
ties. Use of ordinary wire ties will not be allowed,
nor will withdrawal of form ties through the walls be
permitted.
Forms may be made of wood or metal, subj ect to the
approval of the Department. Where the finished
concrete surface will be exposed, the forms shall be
void of any irregularities, such as knotholes and
chips.
Before concrete is placed, all forms shall be carefully
cleaned, all reinforcement securely tied, and all
necessary openings blocked out. Any material necessary
for the support of piping and valves shall be supplied
by the Contractor.
Forms shall not be disturbed until concrete has
hardened sufficiently to permit their removal with
safety. The removal of forms shall be carried out in
such a manner as to ensure the safety of the structure.
supervisory personnel shall be present at the time the
forms are removed, and shall be responsible for the
safety of this operation.
B. Workability of Concrete: Concrete shall be of a
consistency and composition that it can be worked
readily into the corners and angles of the forms and
around the reinforcement without permitting the
materials to segregate, or free water to collect on the
surface. No chlorides shall be added to the concrete
mix.
c. Mixing and Placing Concrete: Before placing concrete,
all equipment for mixing and transporting concrete
shall be clean. All debris or water shall be removed
from the places to be occupied by the concrete. Wooden
forms shall be thoroughly wetted or oiled. No concrete
Revised 07-92
8-21
shall be placed until forms, reinforcing steel, and
cleanup have been approved by the Department.
concrete shall be placed only in the presence of the
Department Inspector unless inspection has been waived
prior to the placement.
Concrete shall be conveyed from the mixer to the place
of final deposit by methods which will prevent
separation or loss of materials. All concrete placed
shall have a temperature of at least 50
0
F (10
0
C), but
not more than 90
0
F (32
0
C).
Concrete shall be deposited, as nearly as practi-
cable, in its final position to avoid segregation due
to rehandling or flowing. No concrete that has
partially hardened or been contaminated by foreign
materials shall be deposited, nor shall retempered
concrete be used.
D. Finishing Concrete: All unformed surfaces shall be
screeded and wood float-finished. Floor surfaces shall
be roughened by light brooming following the wood
float-finish.
After the form work is removed, the voids in all formed
surfaces shall be filled with patching mortar and form
ties cut back and dry packed if necessary.
E. Curing and Protecting Concrete: The finished concrete
shall be protected for a period of three days and
maintained at a temperature of not less than 50 F (10
0
C) . Precaution must be taken during hot weather to
prevent cracks due to thermal contraction. Newly
placed concrete shall be allowed to set undisturbed for
a minimum curing time of twenty-four (24) hours.
When concrete is deposited against the ground without
the use of forms, the ground shall be thoroughly
moistened or other provisions made to prevent the
ground from absorbing water from the concrete.
Concrete shall be protected with a Department-approved
curing membrane immediately after removal of the forms,
or on completion of finishing of floors or slabs.
White membrane shall be used on non-water-bearing
surfaces where concrete is exposed to the direct rays
of the sun. The membrane shall be a nontoxic type.

8.24 HYDROSTATIC TESTING
No hydrostatic testing shall be made on any portion of
the pipeline until field-placed concrete has had adequate curing
time as defined for thrust blocks in Section 8.21 of these
Standards.
The Department shall be notified twenty-four (24) hours
in advance of testing. The main being tested shall not be
restrained against the existing main or its appurtenances.
Testing against shut gate valves is prohibited. All testing
shall be made in the presence of the Department Inspector.
Only the following methods are acceptable for supplying
potable water for hydrostatic testing:
1. Water may be taken from a nearby pressurized water
source which has been previously disinfected,
tested and accepted by the Department, such as a
fire hydrant.
2. water may be delivered to the site in a
disinfected water truck having a minimum capacity
of three hundred (300) gallons. The water truck
shall be used exclusively for the transportation
of potable water.
3. Any previously tested, disinfected and Department-
accepted main which is pressurized and is to serve
the new main extension may be tapped on the
pressurized side of the closed valve.
In any event, the method of supplying water as well as
the source of water for hydrostatic testing shall be certified
and approved by the Department. Use of barrels, sani tary or
otherwise, to supply water for hydrostatic testing is strictly
prohibited.
The Department will not furnish the calibrated meter or
the pump required for testing. The main shall be properly back-
filled and shall be in a state of readiness for testing. All
bulkheads, pumps, taps, and appurtenances necessary to fill the
main and maintain the required pressure shall be in place. The
main shall be filled with water at a rate which will not cause
any surges or exceed the rate at which the air can be released.
The main shall be subjected to a hydrostatic pressure of one and
one-half (1-1/2) times the maximum static pressure at the point
of testing and not less than one and one-quarter (1-1/4) times
the maximum static pressure at the highest point along the test
section by means of a continuously operating pump, equipped with
a bypass valve for regulating pressure. The specified test
Revised 07-92
8-24
pressure shall be based on the elevation of the lowest point of
the line or section under test and corrected to the elevation of
the test gage.
All air in the main shall be properly purged. Where
blow-offs or hydrants are not available or are not effective in
purging air from the line, the Department shall require a tap to
purge the main. The location and size of tap shall be at the
Department's discretion.
The test pressure shall be maintained at plus or minus
five (5) PSI for a period of two (2) continuous hours during
which an examination of the main shall be made, and any leaks
repaired. Any pipe or fitting found to be faulty shall be
removed and replaced. No leakage shall be allowed through the
bonnet of line valves. Any valve leaking through the bonnet shall
be repaired in place or removed and replaced. Cutting and
replacing pavement, excavating, and backfilling may all be
necessary parts of locating and repairing leaks discovered by
pressure testing of pipe.
After all visible leaks have been stopped, the full
test-pressure shall be maintained for two (2) continuous hours.
Leakage for steel pipe with welded joints shall not be allowed.
Allowable leakage for ductile iron pipe shall not exceed the
amount determined by the following formula:
L =
S =
D =
P =
L = SDP/133,200
Allowable leakage (gallons per hour)
Length of pipe tested (feet)
Nominal diameter of the pipe (inches)
Average test pressure during the test (PSI)
Testing against closed valves is prohibited. When fire
hydrants are in the test section, the test shall be made against
the closed fire hydrants.
Should testing show a leakage rate in excess of the
rates computed, the main shall not be accepted. The main shall
be repaired and retested as described in this section until it
meets the test requirements.
8.25 DISINFECTION
All main extensions will be disinfected by the
Department before they are accepted by the Department. The
Contractor shall install temporary valved inlets at points
designated by the Inspector to enable disinfection of the mains.
Revised 07-92
Disinfection of the completed main installation shall be done
after hydrostatic testing. Before filling the pipe with water,
the pipe shall be clean and free of debris to the satisfaction of
the Department's Inspector. The Department shall be notified at
least forty-eight (48) hours prior to the desired disinfection
time.
8.26 CONNECTIONS TO THE DEPARTMENT'S SYSTEM
A. Connections: Connections to the Distribution System
are generally made by the Contractor. Connections shall
be performed in a neat and workmanlike manner in
accordance with Sheets 23 thru 26 of the Standard
Drawings. The Department's Inspector shall be present
at all times during construction of the connection.
The connection shall be subject to approval by the
Department. Under no circumstances shall a
non-disinfected main, which cannot be isolated, be
connected to a disinfected main.
The Department is not responsible for water tightness
of its valves on existing facilities. If existing
valves leak, the Department will assist in reducing the
influx of water, but the Contractor shall use methods
at his or her own disposal to work with the resulting
leakage.
B. Operation of Valves: In connecting to the Department's
system, it may be necessary to operate existing
Department valves. All line valves in the Department's
system shall be operated by Department personnel only.
The Contractor shall give the Department at least
forty-eight (48) hours' notice to arrange for operation
of the valves. Both the Contractor and the
Department's Inspector shall be present when the valves
are operated.
C. Interruption of Service: The Contractor shall provide
written notification twenty-four (24) hours in advance
to all affected Department customers of temporary water
outage on contractor-installed connections that cause
interruption in service.

9.01 GENERAL
CHAPTER 9
SIXTEEN-INCH 116") AND TWENTY-INCH (20")
SUPPLY MAINS
New developments are commonly designed with curved
streets, only one or two access roadways, and many cul-de-sacs.
Mains supplying these subdivisions often cannot be sized using
the hydraulic grid system common in most of Los Angeles. In some
instances, the maximum water demand within these developments
exceeds the allowable design capacity of a twel ve- inch (12")
Distribution Main, but is often considerably under that of a
twenty-four-inch (24") Trunk Line. As a result, it has become
necessary to install sixteen-inch (16") and twenty-inch (20")
pipe to supply this type of development.
9.02 OTHER STANDARDS TO APPLY
Chapter 9 addresses only sixteen-inch (16") and twenty-
inch (20") Supply Mains. All standards that apply to four-inch
(4") through twelve-inch (12") Distribution Mains shall apply to
sixteen-inch (16") and twenty-inch (20") Supply Mains along with
the requirements or exceptions discussed in this Chapter. In
case of conflict with any other Chapter or Section in these
Standards, this Chapter shall govern for sixteen-inch (16") and
twenty-:-inch (20") pipe.
9.03 DESIGN
Sixteen-inch (16") and twenty-inch (20") Supply Mains
shall be designed in accordance with Chapters 3 and 5 of these
Standards and the following additional requirements:
A. Only welded steel pipe and ductile iron pipe that
conform to the Materials Specifications or better shall
be used. The Applicant should be aware that large
diameter pipe and fittings may require long lead times
and it is the responsibility of the Applicant to assure
materials are on hand.
B. Restrained joints for ductile iron pipe installations
shall be of the boltless type, capable of deflection
after assembly, and designed for a minimum working
water pressure of two hundred and fifty
pounds-per-square-inch (250 psi).
Revised 07-92
9-2
C. Line valves shall be optimally placed such that outages
to services during future repairs or construction are
minimized. Generally, this will require the ability to
isolate and alternately supply all Distribution Mains
(or Supply Mains) extending from the Supply Main but in
no instance should the spacing between valves exceed
one thousand two hundred feet (1200').
Line valves shall be of the same size as the main or
one diameter size smaller when specifically approved by
the Department. The size and type of valve to be used
shall be clearly indicated on all submitted drawings.
A rectangular vault or pipe manhole used as a standpipe
shall be used to house sixteen-inch (16") and larger
line valves. See Sheet 37 of the Standard Drawings for
a steel pipe manhole assembly.
If the Department requires the installation of remote
control and monitoring equipment for its operation, the
line valve shall be a butterfly valve with a
rectangular vault housing both the electric motor
operator and telemetering equipment. Each installation
will require individual approval.
D. Blow-off assemblies, as shown on Sheet 34 of the
Standard Drawings, shall be installed at all low point
in Supply Mains and wherever a Supply Main dead ends
unless a fire hydrant which can serve as a blow-off is
provided at these locations.
E. Automatic air valves (air release valves (ARV), air and
vacuum valves (AW) and combination air valves (CAV))
shall be required for Supply Mains at the discretion of
the Department. Air valve assemblies, as shown on
Sheet 35 of the Standard Drawings, are generally
installed at high points in the Supply Main, where
there is an abrupt change of slope, and at the
downslope side of line valves, or as determined by the
Department.
F. Each Supply Main shall be examined individually to
determine special conditions and/or requirements (e.g.,
air valves, check valves, etc.).
G. A galvanic cathodic protection system shall be provided
on all steel Supply Mains in accordance with sections
5.07(B) and 8.11(F), and the following table:

9.04 INSTALLATION
Installation of sixteen-inch (16") and twenty-inch
(20") Supply Mains will generally be done by the Applicant or the
Applicant's contractor. The Contractor shall be prequalified by
the Department for the installation of sixteen-inch (16") and
twenty-inch (20") pipe. As with four-inch (4") through
twelve-inch (12") mains, the Department reserves the right to
install sixteen-inch (16"), and twenty-inch (20") Supply Mains
when it is in the best interest of the Department. This
determination is solely at the discretion of the Department. The
Applicant shall pay all costs for extending mains whether
installed by its contractor or by the Department.
Line and grade will be established by, and
as-constructed surveying done by the Department at applicant s
expense, or when specifically approved by the Department, by a
Professional Engineer or by a Land surveyor licensed to practice
in the State of California or by its authorized representative in
accordance with sections 2.09 and 2.10.
Revised 07-92
CHAPTER 10
TWENTY-FOUR-INCH (24") AND LARGER TRUNK LI-NES
10.01 GENERAL
It is the policy of the Department to design
twenty-four-inch (24") diameter and larger Trunk Lines to ensure
a high-quality, uninterrupted, low-maintenance water service
system. The function of Trunk Lines is more important than that
of Supply or Distribution Mains, and the risk is correspondingly
greater if the Trunk Lines are improperly designed or installed.
The Department reserves the right to design and install
Trunk Lines when to do so is in the best interest of the
Department. All Trunk Lines which will become part of the
Department system will be designed by the Department unless other
arrangements are made. Trunk Lines will be installed by the
Applicant when practical.
Design of the Trunk Line should proceed only after
approval to design and/or construct the Trunk Line is received
from the Department. The concept, size, location, and any other
pertinent details shall be reviewed by the Department prior to
the submittal of plans and specifications required by Section
2.06.
The Applicant shall pay all costs for the design and
construction of Trunk Lines including those incurred by the
Department for inspection, testing of materials, and other
Department services.
10.02 OTHER STANDARDS TO APPLY
Chapter 10 addresses only Trunk Lines. All Standards
that apply to four-inch (4") through twelve-inch (12")
Distribution Mains and to sixteen-inch (16") and twenty-inch
(20") Supply Mains shall apply to Trunk Lines along with the
additional requirements and exceptions stated herein. In case of
conflict with any other Chapter of these Standards, this Chapter
shall govern for Trunk Lines.
10.03 PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION
If the Applicant is
conduct its own preliminary
requirements shall be met:
allowed by the
investigation,
Department to
the following
A. A subsoil investigation shall be performed by a
geotechnical engineer from exploratory holes dug to
determine design values, slide areas, fault crossings,

groundwater or bedrock, and any other condition which
may affect the construction of the Trunk Line. Test
holes shall be dug with a maximum spacing of seven
hundred and fifty feet (750') and at railroad, highway,
and river crossings. soil resistivity readings shall
be taken at depths of 5 feet and 10 feet.
B. A stationed alignment of the proposed Trunk Line is
required to define the route with lines, angles, and
curvatures referenced to land corners and other
official survey control points when available. No
negative stationing is allowed. The angle points,
curve points and the centerline at a minimum spacing of
one hundred feet (100') shall be marked on the ground
with an accuracy of at least one part in five thousand
(5000) which shall be checked by the Department prior
to acceptance of the survey work.
All points of intersection (PI's), points of curvature
(PC's), points of tangency (PT's), angle points (AP's),
and any points on the tangent (POT's) needed for
intervisibility shall be marked with semi-permanent
steel pins in the ground such as concrete reinforcing
bars, P-K nails or survey spikes.
C. A ground surface profile of the alignment in National
Geodetic Vertical Survey Datum of 1929 tied to official
survey bench marks is required. Additional
semi-permanent bench marks shall be established every
fifteen hundred feet (1500') by closed loops of
Third-Order accuracy. The profile shall consist of
ground surface elevations along the proposed Trunk Line
centerline at everyone hundred-foot (100') station and
at grade breaks. All level loop and profile data shall
be recorded in field books.
D. Topographical features within the street or easement
and any topographic feature outside the easement which
may interfere with the operation or installation of the
Trunk Line shall be accurately shown in field books by
both note and drawing. Topographic features may also
be compiled by aerial photogrammetry methods. In areas
where the ground slope perpendicular to the centerline
of the Trunk Line exceeds five percent (5%), cross
sections shall be taken at all profile points and shall
extend at least twenty-five feet (25') to each side of
the centerline. All cross section data shall be
entered into field books.
E. All utility crossings or close utility interference
shall be exposed by digging test pits. Field books
shall be used to record the size, nature, and location
of the interference by station offset and elevation.
Revised 07-92

F. All survey data compiled in the determination of the
route location, the extent of the interference, the
centerline profile, the cross sections, and level loops
shall be entered into field books provided by the
Department and submitted with the plans and
specifications.
10.04 DESIGN
Trunk Lines shall be designed in accordance with all
other applicable Sections of these Standards and the following
additional requirements:
A. Pipe shall conform to the Materials Specifications.
Trunk Lines shall be of welded steel but may be of
reinforced concrete cylinder, prestressed concrete
cylinder, or ductile iron if specifically approved by
the Department. The design criteria for reinforced
concrete and ductile iron pipe shall be those currently
specified by the Department for Trunk Lines. Prior to
construction, the Contractor shall submit for approval
by the Department, the manufacturer's detailed shop
drawings, design calculations, material list, laying
schedule, and marking diagram. The Applicant should be
aware that large diameter pipe and fittings may require
long lead times and it is the responsibility of the
Applicant to assure materials are on hand.
B. Line valves shall be placed such that outages to
consumers during future repairs or construction are
minimized. Generally, this will require the ability to
isolate and alternately supply all mains extending from
the Trunk Line, but in no instance should the spacing
between valves exceed one (1) mile.
Line valves shall be butterfly valves with flanged-end
connections conforming to the Material Specifications.
A pipe manhole used as a standpipe or a rectangular
vault shall be used to house each valve. The valve
installation shall include a tap on each side of the
valve for chlorination and/or air release. See Sheet
37 of the Standard Drawings for a typical steel pipe
manhole assembly.
If the Department requires the installation of remote
control and monitoring equipment for its operation, the
line valve shall be a butterfly valve with a
rectangular vault housing the electric motor operator
and telemetering equipment. Each installation will
require individual approval.

1. Cut clear-colored", 8-mil thick polyethylene tube to 0 length approx/mote/y 2 feet langer than that of
the pipe section. The minimum flot tube width shall be '6. 20, 24, JQ and 37 inches for 4, 6, ! 2,
and '{i-inch pipe respectively"
2. Ensure the pipe is clean prior to installation of the polyethylene tube. Slip the tube around the
centering it to prOVIde f -fOOl overlap on each at;fjacent pipe section. Toke up the slack width to make
snug, but not tight, fit along the barrel of the pipe, securing the fold with 2-inch wide and fO-mil
thick dielectric adhesive tape at quarter points (Figure fJ.
.]. Lower the pipe into the trench ond make-up the pipe joint w/th the preceding section of pipe.
A shallow bell hole in the bedding must be made at joints to focilitote installation of the polyethylene
tube (Figure 2) pipe may be IOJa on sand bogs tn the trench.
4. Pull the bunched polyethylene from the preceding length of pIpe, slip d over the end of the new
length of pipe, and secure it in place (Figu/"e 3). Then slip the end 01 the polyethylene from the new
pipe section over the end of the first wrop until /t overlaps the io/nt ot the end of the precedmg
length of pipe and secure it in place (Figure 4).
5. Repair ony rips, or other damage to the polyethylene with dielectric adhesive tape or with
o short length 01 polyethylene tube cut open, wrapped around the pipe, and secured in place. Proceed
w/th t'nstallaHon of the next section of pipe in the same manner.
o. Cover bends, reducers, offsets; ond other pipe shaped appurtenances with polyethylene in the some
manner as the pipe.
7. When valves. tees, crosses, and other odd-shaped pieces cannot be wrapped practically in 0 tube,
wrap with a llot sheet or split length 01 polyethylene tube by passing the sheet under the appurtenance
and bring,ng it up around the body. Make seams by bringing the edges together, folding Doler twice,
ond tapmg down. Handle width and overlaps at jo/nts descf"lDed above. Tape polyethylene securely in
place at valve stem and other penetrations.
8. Provide openings lor bronches, servt"ce taps, blow-ofls, air valves, and similar appurtenances oy moking
on cut in the polyethylene and tempororily /old.':'7g boCk the Ilim. After the appurtenance is
installed, tope the slack secua:1y to the polyethylene, with tope Cover all exposed clamps ond other
appurtenances with polyethylene to the trench wall or 3 leet beyond the pipe using the method
descr/bed in step 7 above.
9 Extend the polyethylene wrop to cover od/acent D!/C!/AC pipe 0 min/mum 01 2 feet and adJacent steel

AGRREMENT FOR INSTALLATION AND TRANSFER
OF TITLE OF WATER SYSTEM FACILITIES
AGREEMENT NO. WO-
This Agreement is entered into and effective as of
by and between the DEPARTMENT OF WATER
ANGELES, hereinafter referred to as
the "Developer", who agree as follows:
The Developer is the owner of certain land described as
Tract No. and as more fully (or further} shown on Exhibit "A"
attached hereto. In developing this land, the Developer is
desirous of obtaining a water supply adequate for domestic uses
and public fire protection purposes and is desirous of Water
System clearance for this project.
In order to provide facilities for a water supply to
said land, it is the intention of the parties to this Agreement
that the Developer will furnish and install those water mains,
fire hydrants, service laterals, valves, and all pertinent
fittings, and other facilities required for a complete water
system to serve the land shown on Exhibit "A".
In order to implement the foregoing and in
consideration of the terms and conditions herein contained, the
parties further agree as follows:
1.0 Developer shall design and construct, at the Developer's
sole expense, the water facilities and appurtenances in
accordance with Department-approved final plans, and in
accordance with Department-approved design standards and
specifications, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
1.1 Design shall be by a Professional Engineer registered in the
state of California, hereinafter referred to as the "Design
Engineer", in accordance with the Department's Water Operating
Division's latest Engineering Standards Manual and Standard
specification No. DWPWS-D101.
1.2 A copy of the Department's Engineering Standards Manual and
Standard Specification No. DWPWS-DIOl will be provided to the
Developer upon payment of applicable charges.
2.0 The Department, at the Developer's expense, shall review the
Developer's plans for the purpose of ensuring the adequacy of the
design and conformance with the Department's standards and
specifications. The Department reserves the right to add,
delete, modify, change, or amend any or all the plans and
specifications.
- 2 -
2.1 In the event that the property to be developed includes
multiple residential, condominiums, commercial or industrial
uses, site plans, grading plans and any available plumbing plot
plans will be furnished to the Department by the Developer.
2.1.1 During the course of the development and construction of
the project, it is recognized that the City of Los Angeles or
other regulatory authority may require, or the Developer may
agree to, changes in existing streets, facilities or
installations which in turn may require the relocation,
replacement or addition of water system facilities. In the event
that any such changes are required, or agreed to, the Developer
shall, within 30 days thereof, submit to the Department for its
review and approval the final plans and specifications detailing
the Developer's arrangements to accomplish such work. The
Developer shall perform any additional water facility work at the
Developer's sole cost. All work performed pursuant to this
paragraph shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and shall be considered a part hereof.
2.2.0 During the course of the development and construction of
the project, it is further recognized that unforeseen
circumstances including, but not limited to, surface or
subsurface geological and earth features and the presence of
artificial structures and/or equipment may prevent the
construction of the system as theretofore designed and that
changes in the design and construction will be required because
of the aforementioned unforeseen circumstances. In such event,
the Design Engineer will modify the design to accommodate said
unforeseen circumstances to the satisfaction of the Department.
The Developer will pay the Department any applicable costs associated
