The Administrative Body shall determine if and where this type of connection to the public sewer is required. Connections to existing manholes shall be made as directed by the Superintendent. If required, a new manhole shall be installed in the public sewer pursuant to Section 504, and the building sewer connection made thereto as direct¬ed by the Superintendent.
ARTICLE V
Sewer Extensions
Section 501 All extensions to the sanitary sewer system owned and maintained by the District or a  local governing body shall be properly designed in accordance with and in strict conformance with all require¬ments of the New York State Department of Health. Plans and specifications for sew¬er extensions shall be submitted to, and approval obtained irom the local govern¬ing body and the New York State Depart¬ment of Health before construction may proceed. The design of sewers must anticipate and allow for flows from all pos¬sible future extensions or developments within the immediate drainage area.
Section 502 Sewer extensions, including individual building sewers from the public sewer to the property line, may be con¬structed by the local governing body un¬der public contract if, in the opinion of the local town or village board the number of properties to be served by such extension warrants its cost. Under this arrangement the property owner shall pay for and in¬stall the building sewer from the property line to his residence or place of business in accordance with the requirements of Article IV. Property owners may propose sewer extensions within incorporated Villages or towns drafting a written petition, signed by a majority of the benefiting property owners, and ii:ing it with the ap-propriate Board. The cost of such exten¬sions may be assessed to the benefited property owners in any manner determined by the local Board.
Section 503 It the local governing body does not elect to construct a sewer exten¬sion under public contract, the property· owner, builder, or developer may construct the necessary sewer extension, if such ex¬tension is approved by the local board In accordance with the requirements of Section 501. He or they must pay for the entire installation, including ail expenses in¬cidental thereto. Each building sewer must be installed and inspected as previously required and the inspection fees shall be paid. Design of sewers shall be as specified in Section 504. The installation of the sewer extension must be subject to peri¬odic inspection by the local governing body and the expenses for this inspection shall be paid for by the owner, building or de¬veloper. The local boards decisions shall be final in matters of quality and methods of construction. The sewer, as constructed, must pass the exfiltration test required in Section 505 before it is to be used. The cost of sewer extension thus made shall he absorbed by the developers or the prop¬erty owners, including all building sewers.
Section 504 Sewer design shall be in ac¬cordance with the following provisions. Pipe materials shall be either asbestos-cement conforming lo ASTM Specification C-428. Type II: extra-strength vitrified r flV conforming to ASTM Specification C-200: or reinforced concrete conforming to ASTM Specification C-76. No standard strength clay pipe or non-reinforced concrete pipe shall be used. Minimum internal pipe di¬ameter shall be eight (8) inches .. Joints for each kind of pipe shall be designed and manufactured such that "O" ring gas¬kets of the “snap-on" type are employed. Gaskets shall be continuous, solid, natural or synthetic rubber and shall provide a positive compression seal in the assembled joint such that the requirements of Section 505 are met. Joint preparation and assembly shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Wye branch fittings shall be installed for connection to building sewers in accordance with Sec¬tion 403. Trench widths as measured just above the crown of the pipe shall not ex¬ceed the following:
Pipe Diameter Trench Width
8” 3'-3"
10” 3’6”
12” 3’9”
14” 4’0”
It the trench widths are found, during field inspection, to exceed the limits in the above table, the sewer pipe shall be en¬cased with a minimum of 6 inches of con¬crete. Pipe shall be firmly and evenly bed¬ded on a minimum of 3 inches of No. 1A or No. 1 crushed stone (NYSDPW Specifica¬tion). Pipe thickness and field strength shall be calculated on the following cri¬teria:
Safety Factor 1.5
Load Factor 1.5
Weight of Soil 120 lbs./cu. ft.
Wheel Loading 16,000 lbs.
Utilizing the above information, design shall then be made as outlined in Chapter IX of the Water Pollution Control Federa¬tion Manual of Practice No. 9, "Design and Construction of Sanitary and Storm Sewers".
Manholes shall be constructed at all changes in slope or alignment or at inter¬vals not exceeding 400 linear feet. The manholes shall be constructed with a poured 3,000 psi concrete base 12 inches thick, steel troweled concrete or mortar bench walls and inverts, and precast 4-foot diameter concrete manhole barrel sec¬tions with concentric tapered top section, as specified by ASTM C-478. The manhole frame and cover shall be the standard de¬sign of the local governing body and shall be set with no less than two courses of brick underneath to allow for later adjust¬ment in elevation. All joints shall be sealed against infiltration. No manholes shall be constructed with steps or ladder rungs.
Section 505 All sewers shall satisfy re¬quirements of a final exfiltration test before they will be approved and sewage flow accepted from them by the local governing body. This test consists of filling the pipe with water to provide a head of at least five (5) feet above the top of the pipe or live (5) feet above groundwater, whichever is higher, at the highest point of the pipe line under test, and then measur¬ing the loss of water from the line by the amount which must be added to maintain the original level. In this test, the line must remain filled with water for at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the taking of measurements. Exfiltration shall be measured by the drop of water level in a standpipe with closed bottom end, or in one of the sewer manholes available for convenient measuring.
When a standpipe and plus arrangement is used in the upper manhole of a line under test, there must be some positive method of releasing entrapped air in the sewer prior to taking measurements. The test length intervals for either type of test shall be as ordered or approved but in no event shall they exceed 1,000 feet. In case of sewers laid on steep grades, the length of line to be tested by exfiltration at any one time may be limited by the maximum allowable internal pressure on the pipe and joints at the lower end of the line. The test period, wherein the measure¬ments are taken, shall not be less than two (2) hours in either type of test.
The total leakage of any section tested shall not exceed the rate of 100 gallons per mile or pipe per 24 hours per inch of nom¬inal pipe diameter. For purposes of deter¬mining the maximum allowable leadage. manholes shall be considered as sections of 48-inch diameter pipe, five (5) feet long The equivalent leakage allowance shall be 4.5 gallons per manhole per 24 hours for 48-inch diameter manholes, If leakage exceeds the specified amount, the necessary repairs or replacements required shall be made to permanently reduce the leakage to within the specified limit, and the tests shall be repeated until the leak¬age requirement is met.
Section 506 All sewer extensions con¬structed at the property owner's, builder's or developer's expense, after final approval and acceptance by the local Board, shall become the property of and shall there¬after be maintained by the local governing body. Said sewers, after their acceptance by the local governing body, shall be guaranteed against detects in materials or workmanship for eighteen (18) months. The guarantee shall be in a form provid¬ed for by the local governing body. At the sole discretion of the local Board, a com¬pletion bond or certificate check may be demanded as part of the guarantee.
Section 507 No builder or developer shall be issued a building permit for a new dwelling or structure requiring sanitary facilities unless a suitable and approved method of waste disposal is proposed. All new developments shall be provided with an approved system of sanitary sewers.
