Sanitary Sewer Installation Requirements
The sewer laterals will be SDR 35 or better, gasketed pipe of PVC. The minimum size to be used is 6" in diameter. There must be a 6" diameter cleanout just outside the building. Changes in direction shall be made only with properly curved pipes and fittings not to exceed 45 degrees. The pipe should be embedded in pea-gravel or sand, under and on sides, and a minimum of 2" over.
A sewer tap permit must be purchased at the Wastewater Treatment Plant before the line is installed. The fee is based on water meter size plus inspection fee. The permit must be on the jobsite for inspectors signature of approval. In addition, any repairs made from the cleanout on laterals (including the cleanout) to the main tap, require you to obtain a $25.00 inspection permit from the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The applicant of the sewer tap permit shall notify the office at (317)392-5131 twenty-four hours in advance of when a building sewer is ready for inspection and connection to the public sewer. No backfill shall be placed until the Superintendent or his representative has inspected the work
