Section 12.12.130 Types of pipe.

Except as hereinafter provided, consumers will be required to use, in making connections with the water mains of the environmental services division between the main and the water meter, either type K copper pipe with flare or compression fittings, or 200 PSI class polyethylene pipe (PE-3408), or pressure class 350 ductile iron pipe or C900 PVC pipe. Before using any type of plastic pipe it shall be the responsibility of the consumer or installer to verify the absence of any contaminated soil which may negate the option of PVC or polyethylene pipe. If specified levels of contamination are discovered, the use of PVC or polyethylene pipe is prohibited. Information on contamination levels at which PVC or polyethylene pipe use is prohibited is available through the city engineering department. (Ord. 99-8054; 98/U-6424)
