10 feet, a watermain may be laid closer to a storm or sanitary sewer provided that:

b. where this vertical separation cannot be obtained, the sewer shall be constructed of materials
and with joints that are equivalent to watermain standards of construction and shall be
pressure tested to assure watertightness prior to backfilling.
It appears the storm sewer lo~ated between 5 + 00 and 7 + 20 on Sheet No. 14 is less than !O
feet from the watermain.
