This section covers the requirements for piping materials and installation in the
American Fork City water distribution system. All materials and workmanship shall
strictly comply with the current revisions of the Utah State Rules for Public Drinking
Water Systems (USRPDWS) and the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC). In the event of conflict
between this section, USRPDWS and the UPC, they shall rank in the following order
of precedence: (1) this code section, (2) USRPDWS, (3) UPC.
The end of water lines shall be covered when work is not in progress to prevent debris,
animals, etc., from entering the line. All culinary water lines shall be of eight-inch
minimum size unless otherwise approved by the city engineer.
If the size of any piping or fitting is not evident in the drawings, the contractor
shall request instructions from the city engineer as to the proper sizing. Any changes
resulting from the failure to contact the engineer to request clarification shall
be at the contractor's expense.
