Water Connection – water pipe and associated apparatuses from the point of connection to a water main to the terminus of the Utility Company maintenance responsibility, usually the property line or Utility Company easement. For copper water services the keybox is normally the terminus point of Utility Company maintenance requirements. Water Extension – typically it is water pipe and associated apparatuses on a parcel of land that begins where the Water Connection ends. A Water Extension typically ends five feet outside a building foundation. Service – connection, extension, and/or building piping from the Utility Company water distribution system to private property and typically to one structure Main Line – Water pipe servicing multiple customers usually within an easement or right of way under the maintenance responsibility of the Utility Company. Water Distribution System – Anything that is used to distribute potable water. Fire Line – A portion of the water service with no additional branches that has the primary purpose of providing fire protection inside of a building. Typically a service that originates at a mainline or at a valve downstream of a fire hydrant tee continuing directly into a building with a sprinkler fire suppression system. Water extensions that are four inches (4”) and larger will be considered a fire line for the purpose of pressure testing. Sewer – Non-domestic and domestic wastewater as defined in 18 AAC 72

2015 MASS Div 60 Changes – Furnish and Install Pipe Article 2.5 – Flushing and Testing Added pre-disinfection (AWWA C651) Clearly stated order of testing procedures Did you know that we could back charge the Contractor for canceling a test without providing proper notice?
