Section 02001 <br />CONVERSION METHOD — MINIMUM RECOMMENDED REQUIREMENTS <br />Brine Line to Potable Water Main <br />To convert the. pipeline from a brine transmission main to a water main transmitting <br />and distributing potable water, assurances must be provided to ensure the main can transmit and <br />distribute water that is safe for public consumption. To provide these assurances the following is an <br />outline of the minimum recommended procedure proposed for conversion of the water line. <br />1. The new water main and the existing converted pipeline shall be color <br />coded or marked in accordance with subparagraph 62-555.320(21)(b)3 <br />fac. The existing pipeline has been excavated and markings/ color <br />coding has been documented in the field. The pipe was excavated <br />at 3 locations along the length of pipe. The pipe was found to be <br />appropriately color coded and marked. The results of the pipe excavation <br />were: <br />The existing pipe is black HDPE pipe, with blue markings on the pipe <br />wall running continuous and parallel to the main. <br />The existing pipe has a continuous blue trace wire. <br />The existing pipe has a continuous warning tape buried above the <br />pipe, reading "caution buried line" which is green striped. <br />All new pipe and fittings will be constructed in accordance with <br />current standards. (see plans and specifications) <br />The contractor shall further document the pipe condition during construction <br />at all locations where pipe is to be excavated (connection point, flushing point, <br />fire hydrant cut -ins, conflict locations). Documentation shall include as -built <br />locations of depth, separation from other utilities, photos of pipe, markers, <br />etc. <br />2. The water system components that will come into contact with drinking <br />water shall conform to applicable AWWA standards and 62-555.320(3)(b) <br />and 62-555.335 fac: <br />The existing pipeline is HDPE pipe, and was constructed in 1996. The <br />pipe was required to be designed and in accordance with IRCDUS, <br />was constructed in accordance with the IRC standard <br />specifications adopted at that time: "IRC water and wastewater utility <br />02001-1 <br />
