thereof. The examination of plans is based upon the supposition that the data on which the design i$ based are
correct, and that necessary legal authority has been obtained to construct the project. The responsibility for the
design of structural features and the efficiency of equipment must be taken by the project designer. Approval is
contingent upon satisfactory disposition of any requirements included with this report.
Water supply plans are examined with regard to the location, construction :tnd operational features of the design
and maintenance of all parts of (he system which may affect the safety and .sanitary I~uality of the water.
Examination is based on the standards of this department.
This project consists of the installation of the following watenrlains:
1. 176 lineal feet of 6-inch ductile icon wateonain.

repair: the valve;; shall be easily accessible, and not subject to flooding; and the valve closest to the
supply source shall be, in a manhole.
c. Penmment taps shall be made on each side of the valve within the manhole to allow insertion of a small
Deter to determine leakage and for sampling purposes.
COMPUANCE: No construction shall take place'except in accordance with the approved plans. If it is desired
to make deviations from the approved plans, the State Department of Health should be consulted and approval of
the changes obtained before construction is statted; otherwise, such construction is installed without proper

Authorization for construction in accordance with the approved plans may be withdrawn if construction is not
undertaken within a period of two years. The fact that the plans have been approved does not necessarily mean
that recommendations or requirements for change will not be made at some later time whim changed conditions,
additional information, or advanced knowledge make improvements necessary.
