3. HYDROSTATIC TESTING
After the pipe has been laid including fittings, services, valves and hydrants, and the line has
been backfilled in accordance with these Specifications, all newly laid pipe, or any valved
section thereof including building services unless otherwise directed by the Engineer, shall be
subjected to a hydrostatic pressure test.
Each valved section of pipe shall be slowly filled with water. The specified test pressure,
measured at the highest point of elevation, shall be applied by means of a pump connected to
the pipe in a satisfactory manner. The pump, pipe connection, gauges, and all necessary
apparatus shall be furnished by the Contractor. Before applying the specified test pressure, all
air shall be expelled from the pipe. To accomplish this, taps shall be made if necessary at
points of highest elevation and afterward tightly plugged.
The test pressure shall be brought to 150 psi. Thereafter, the test shall be considered
satisfactory if without additional water, the pressure remains constant for a period of2 hours.
A passing test will not lose more than 2 psi.
4. ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY TEST
After the hydrostatic test has been successfully completed, a conductivity test shall be
conducted in accordance with the following specification:
4.1 Test Procedure
The system (pipeline and hydrants) shall be tested for electrical continuity and current
capacity. Backfilling shall have been completed. The line may be tested in sections of
convenient length as accepted by the Engineer.
Direct current of 350 amperes, :!: 10 percent, shall be passed through the pipe line for 5
minutes. Current flow through the pipe shall be measured continuously on a suitable ammeter
and shall remain steady without interruption or excessive fluctuation throughout the 5 minute
test period.

Insufficient current or intermittent current or arcing, indicated by large fluctuation of the
ammeter needle, shall be evidence of defective electrical contact in the pipeline. The cause
shall be isolated and corrected. Thereafter, the section in which the defective test occurred shall
be retested as a unit and shall meet the requirements.
4.2 Notes on Test Procedure
Sources of D.C. current for these tests may be motor generators, batteries, arc welding
machines, etc.; D.C. arc welding machines will probably be the usual source. These machines
are available in adequate capacity for these tests and are equipped with controls for regulating
the current output.
Cables from the power source to the section of the system under test should be of sufficient
size to carry the test current without overheating or excessive voltage drop. Usable sizes will
probably be in the range of2/0 to 4/0 A.W.G.
Connections for the test shall be made at hydrants. The hydrants shall be in the open position
with the caps on during the test. The cable shall be clamped to the top operating nut. Note:
After the test, the hydrant shall be shut off and a cap loosened to allow hydrant drainage.
Tighten cap after drainage.
A hook-on type D.C. ammeter placed on one of the cables leading to the hydrant is a
convenient method of measuring current.
In using arc welding machines, the current control should be set at a minimum before starting.
After starting the machine, advance the control until the current indicated on the ammeter is
at the desired test value. Caution: In case of open circuits at joints or connections, the voltage
across the defective joint or connection will be in the order of 50-1 00 volts.
5. DISINFECTION OF WATER MAINS
5.1 General
All pipelines installed shall be disinfected with a strong chlorine solution. Disinfecting may
be done concurrently with pressure and leakage testing or after pressure and leakage testing
at the option of the Contractor. Each section line that is repaired shall be disinfected after such
repairs are made. All necessary disinfection equipment and materials shall be provided by the
Contractor.
Standard Detail Specifications
Water Main Systems
Albertville, MN
04/00
Page W-11
5.2 Flushing
The pipeline shall be flushed at a velocity of at least 2.5 feet per second immediately prior to
disinfection. A 24-hour notice is required to the City Water Department for pipeline flushing.
5.3 Disinfectants
Disinfection shall be performed using either chlorine gas or calcium hypochlorite solution.
Chlorine gas shall conform to A WW A B301 and shall be handled under pressure as an aqueous
solution. Calcium hypochlorite shall conform to A WW A B300 and shall be granules with 70
percent available chlorine.
5.4 Feeding
Chlorine gas shall be used only as a solution. Introduction of chlorine gas into the pipeline
directly will not be permitted. When chlorine is used, a chlorinator and booster pump with
injector shall be provided.
Calcium hypochlorite shall be made into a solution and pumped into the pipeline with a
suitable chemical feed pump.
5.5 Application
Pipelines shall be disinfected by either the continuous feed method or the slug method.
In using the continuous feed method, chlorine feed shall be proportional to the rate of flow into
the pipe so the entering water contains at least 50 mg/l of available chlorine. Chlorine
application shall be continuous until the entire pipeline is filled with the chlorine solution. The
treated water shall be retained in the pipeline for at least 24 hours and the chlorine residual at
the end of the period shall be at least 25 mg/I.
In using the slug method, chlorine shall be fed at a rate that will produce at least 300 mg/l in
the water entering the pipeline and a sufficient quantity of water shall be chlorinated so all
parts of the pipeline will be exposed to chlorine concentration of300 mg/l for at least 3 hours.
During disinfection all valves and hydrants shall be operated to ensure all appurtenances are
disinfected.

5.6 Bacteriological Tests
The chlorine solution shall be flushed out of the line and samples shall be collected and tested
for bacteriological quality after the line has set for a minimum of 24 hours. The samples shall
be collected by the City Water Department personnel and the cost of these tests paid for by the
Contractor. A 24-hour notice is required to the City Water Department for pipeline flushing.
5.7 Repeat Testing
If initial disinfection fails to produce satisfactory bacteriological samples, the disinfection shall
be repeated until satisfactory bacteriological samples are obtained. Costs for additional
disinfection shall be borne by the Contractor.
5.8 Inspection
The above operation shall be supervised by a qualified Inspector furnished by the Consultant.
If a qualified Inspector cannot be supplied, the City shall furnish an Inspector. The City shall
have a least a 24-hour notice for said inspection.
6. WA TER MAINS CROSSING SEWERS
Water mains crossing sanitary sewers, storm sewers, or house sewers shall be laid to provide
a separation of at least 18 inches between the bottom of the water main and the top of the
sewer. When local conditions prevent a vertical separation as described, the following shall be
used:
1. Sewers passing over or under water main shall be constructed of materials equal to water
main standards of construction.
2. Water mains passing under sewers shall, in addition, be protected by providing:
1. A vertical separation of at least 18 inches between the bottom of the sewer and the
top of the water main.
2. Adequate structural support for the sewers to prevent excessive deflection of joints
and settling on and breaking the water mains.
3. The length of water pipe be centered at the point of crossing so joints will be
equidistant and as far as possible from the sewer.
Water mains shall be laid at least 10 feet horizontally from any sanitary sewer, storm sewer or
sewer manhole whenever possible. When local conditions prevent a horizontal separation of
Standard Detail Specifications
Water Main Systems
Albertville, MN
04/00
Page W-13
10 feet, a water main may be laid closer to a storm or sanitary sewer provided that:
1. The bottom of the main is a least 18 inches above the top of the sewer;
2. Where this vertical separation cannot be obtained, the sewer shall be constructed of
materials and with joints that are equivalent to water main standards of construction and
shall be pressure tested to assure water tightness prior to backfilling.
7. MAINTAINING WATER SERVICE
While construction is underway, the Contractor shall maintain water service to existing users
on a continuous basis until service from the newly installed mains can be restored. The means
and methods used are subject to the acceptance of the Engineer. Overland service lines
connected to a hydrant via a common header is recommended.
All service lines, headers, connections, and appurtenances shall be disinfected in accordance
with Minnesota Health Department and A WW A rules and regulations.
