A. Clean and disinfect water-distribution piping as follows:

1. Purge new water-distribution piping systems and parts of existing systems that have been altered, extended, or repaired before use.

2. Use purging and disinfecting procedure prescribed by authorities having jurisdiction or, if method is not prescribed by authorities having jurisdiction, use procedure described in AWWA C651 or as described below:

a. Flushing Pipelines

1) After the pressure and leakage testing has been completed, all water pipes shall be thoroughly flushed.

2) Flushing shall remove all debris from the pipeline, including HDPE pipe shavings, gravel and any other material that may have accidentally entered the pipeline during construction.

3) Remove all self-closing faucets and drinking fountains from hydrants before flushing lines. Failure to do so will likely clog the internal parts of the faucet.

4) If no hydrants or other outlets are installed at the end of the waterline, an outlet at the end of each lateral shall be provided. Outlets shall be large enough to develop a velocity in the waterlines of at least 2.5 feet per second (see Table l for necessary flows). If necessary, use a booster pump or other method to obtain the necessary flows.

5) Minimum velocities must be obtained in all mainlines, laterals and drainlines.

6) Ensure flushing outlets have adequate drainage and no damage or erosion will occur from the flushing process. Install hoses and/or pipe extensions if necessary.

b. Requirement of Chlorination

1) Pipelines: After flushing, all new waterlines and repaired portions of, or extensions to, existing waterlines shall be disinfected by chlorination. Chlorination shall provide a minimum of 25 mg/l residual after 24 hours contact in the system. This may be expected with an application of 50 mg/l, although some conditions may require more.

The entire system including the storage tank or spring box shall be filled with the disinfecting solution. All taps, hydrants, and other outlets shall be opened and left open until chlorine is noticeable by odor or testing in the water coming from each. Immediately close taps, hydrants, and other outlets. The chlorinated water shall be retained in the waterlines for at least 24 hours. An alternative of introducing a chlorine solution of 300 mg/l for a period of 3 hours is also approved.

2) Reservoirs Only: For large reservoirs where water is not going to be reused to disinfect connecting distribution lines, or where it is not economical to treat the entire contents with 50 mg/l of chlorine, disinfection can be accomplished by swabbing or spraying the walls, floor, and ceiling with a chlorine solution containing 300 mg/l of available chlorine. A minimum of 3 hours shall elapse before the structure is flushed and returned to service.

c. Preparation of Disinfecting Mixture: Chlorine-bearing compounds used for disinfection shall comply with ANSI/NSF 60.

1) Calcium hypochlorite must be prepared as a water mixture for introduction into the waterlines. The powder should first be made into a paste and then thinned to either a 1 percent or 5.25 percent chlorine solution.

2) Sodium hypochlorite is already a water mixture.

3) Table 2 gives the amount of chlorine-bearing compound to mix to obtain either a 1 percent or 5.25 percent solution.

4) Table 3 gives the amount of a 1 percent or 5.25 percent solution required to obtain a 50 mg/l solution for various volumes.

5) Table 4 gives the volume of water contained in each 100 feet of pipe of various sizes.

d. Method of Chlorine Application: The preferred method is to fill the storage tank (for a distribution system) or the spring head box (for a supply system) with chlorinated water of the proper strength. The water shall then be released through the outlet lines to the remainder of the system and retained there for the required period of time. If either of these points of application is unavailable, chlorinated water of the proper strength may be added to the beginning of the pipeline extension, or to any valved section of the extension, through a corporation stop installed by the Contractor in the top of the pipe.

Other methods may be approved by the Contracting Officer.

e. Testing of Chlorine Residual: To ascertain the concentration, the chlorine residual shall be measured by the Contracting Officer in accordance with the procedures described in the current edition of “Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater,” or AWWA M12, or by using an appropriate high-range chlorine test kit.

f. Final Flushing and Testing: Following the retention period, as specified in this Section, all heavily chlorinated water shall be thoroughly flushed from the pipeline until the chlorine concentration in the water leaving any part of the line is no higher than 1 mg/1.

g. Disposal:

1) Heavily chlorinated water shall not be drained directly into streams, rivers, lakes or drainage ditches which lead to surface water.

2) When emptying the lines or tank after the 24-hour period, whether the system has passed or failed, the chlorine solution shall be neutralized before being discharged. Neutralize system by adding sodium thiosulfate to the storage tank in accordance with Table 5 below. Let the sodium thiosulfate sit in the storage tank for 24-hours and then release the water from the tank and flush the system. Residual chlorine at the outlets shall be minimal.

h. Bacteriological Examination: After the system has been disinfected as specified, but before the new water piping is put to use or connected to existing piping, the Contractor shall test the water for bacteriological contamination from representative points in the system as approved by the Contracting Officer. The coliform organisms shall be tested for presence/absence in accordance with State drinking water regulations. If coliform bacteria are present, testing shall be repeated in accordance with State drinking water regulations. If the report of this examination is unsatisfactory, the system shall be flushed and the disinfection procedure repeated until the results of bacteriological examinations are satisfactory.
