After disinfection in accordance with AWWA C651 of the watermains and services for 24 hours and final flushing, two consecutive sets of water samples, taken at least 24 hours apart, shall be collected for every 350 metres or part thereof of watermain plus from the end of the line and from each branch line off the main line. In addition, it is recommended that the existing water system be tested as well, at a location(s) near the new construction. Following disinfection of the watermains, the chlorinated water shall be managed and disposed g p of in accordance with OPSS 701.07.25. Certified municipal staff or trained designate only (OWRA Reg. 170/03) shall collect samples for bacteriological testing. All water samples are to be analyzed by a Provincially accredited Laboratory. One 200 mL bacteriological sample (bottles supplied by the Labs ONLY) must be 1 obtained from each location. The sample form is to be filled out requesting E. coli, Total Coliform and is to include the sampler's license number. Each sample collected must include a "Total and Free Chlorine residual" reading. 1 The Owner will pay Laboratory expenses for microbiological testing of the initial first 2 sets of water samples required for commissioning the new mains. If the disinfection fails to produce satisfactory sample test results, disinfection, sampling and testing shall be repeated at the Contractor's expense. The minimum requirements for acceptability of bacteriological tests are: E. coli (Fecal Coliform) Not detectable 1 Total Coliform Not detectable Commissioning of New Main 1 Once a complete set of tests, including the bacteriological sample results, are satisfactory and the results are received, the Contract Administrator must request approval from the Operating Authority for the main to be connected to the existing water system. The Operating Authority and /or the Contract Administrator must be present on site during the removal of the temporary 1 1 1 SP -13 connection and until the connection of the new main to the existing waterworks has been completed. All new p i P g in , services and appurtenances placed in the connection of new main and existing 1 waterworks system must be disinfected with a 1% (10,000 mg /L) solution of sodium hypochlorite or equivalent method at the Contractor's expense. The Contractor must provide, in writing, a method of dewatering in order to protect the final connection from contamination of the new or existing watermain with foreign material or groundwater. Should there be a need to re- disinfect, the entire cost of re- disinfecting the mains 1 will be at the Contractor's expense. Testing, Flushing and Disinfection of New Services to be Connected to Existing Main The Contractor shall supply all labour, equipment and material for the testing, flushing and disinfection of the services in accordance with AWWA C651 and the following. 1 The tubing and fittings shall be cleaned and disinfected with a 1% (10,000 mg /L) solution of sodium hypochlorite or equivalent method and the service flushed until two consecutive chlorine residual tests of 0.75 to 1.0 mg /L as free chlorine are achieved, before connecting to the existing main. 1 Dechlorination In all cases, the wasted water must be neutralized to provide a total chlorine residual of less than 1 2 pg /L (0.002 ppm) (Reg. 170/03 - Procedure for Disinfection of Drinking Water in Ontario - AWWA C651) at the outfall where detrimental effects may be suffered by plants and /or animals in the natural environment. The Contract Administrator will monitor the discharge of 1 wastewater. Should tests show a residual greater than 2 pg /L, the discharge shall be ceased immediately and the procedure modified to meet the less than 2 pg /L objective. 1 Sites within 100 m of natural drainage, or with direct discharge to a water body, should be considered high risk. In such instances, the Owner may request a dechlorination plan along with contingency and mitigation plans in the event that the chlorine residuals exceed those specified. When no other options are available, the Contractor may be permitted to discharge wastewater into the sanitary collection system only upon written approval of the Owner. The Owner may direct the Contractor to dechlorinate to a specified chlorine residual prior to discharge or limit the discharge rate. The Contract Administrator will monitor the discharge of wastewater to ensure the chlorine residual and discharge limits are not exceeded. ITEM NO.
