Eric,
I was out to this project today to witness a water main test. The contractor has placed enough fill over the water main
pipe that they are able to pressure test it (we had previously told them that they could not test until the site grading is
completed over the pipe). They are unable to get the water main test to pass, and 1 believe there may be a leak
somewhere. If so, they could potentially be doing a lot of digging to find the leak. Tom 0. is going to be working with the
contractor for the next couple of days (I am on vacation) as they try to get this pressure test to pass. As of now, the water
main does not meet City standards.
They will not be able to test the sanitary sewer right now because they haven't placed all of the fill over the sanitary sewer
main. I believe some of this fill will need to be placed after the building foundations are backfilled due to the close
quarters. As far as I know, the sanitary sewer has been installed correctly: I also believe that the storm sewer that has
been installed meets City standards. Some of the shallow pipes will be installed at a later date after site grading is
completed.
I'll touch base with you on Monday to update you on the status of the water main testing. You can also check with Tom to
see if there has been any change.
Thanks,
Brian M. :K .
