The District discourages the construction of sewer facilities when winter conditions exist. Determination of winter conditions shall be the sole responsibility of the District and will be made by the General Manager. The District shall post, at the District Administration Building and on the District website, notification of winter condition requirements at least two weeks before enforcement of these conditions begin.
During winter conditions, construction of sewer facilities shall abide by the following special requirements:
- An appointment is scheduled for a visual inspection in the A.M. hours, and
- Backfill material, in conformation with Section A-7.8, free of ice and snow, is used to fill the trench to within 12-inches of finished grade, with the remaining void to be filled with native material, and
- All directional changes (bends), thrust blocks, trench cut-off blocks, syphon breaks two-way cleanouts, and residential pump tank and connections must be left open for inspection and documentation.
- The trench is completely backfilled the same day as the initial visual inspection. This shall require another same day inspection to verify completion of backfill.
