1.6.3.12.3.1 Point of demarcation is the first mechanical joint (threaded connection, flanged connection, union, etc.) inside the facility. Scenario; Fire suppression service is separate and independent from the potable water service. Note: Fire suppression services are typically not metered.

1.6.3.12.3.2 Point of demarcation for the fire suppression service is the downstream side of the tee joint in main line of the water service where the fire suppression line takes-off from the potable water service line inside the facility. If a meter bypass is installed by the Government’s Utility Contractor is responsible to the downstream side of the bypass valve. Scenario; Fire suppression service and potable water service are combined and fed from the same service line.

1.6.3.12.3.3 Point of demarcation for the potable water service is the downstream side of the first valve downstream of the meter. If a meter bypass is installed Doyon is responsible to the downstream side of the bypass valve. Scenarios; Potable water service is a dedicated and separate water service and the potable water service is metered. Also, fire suppression service and potable water service are combined and fed from the same service line and the potable water service is metered.

1.6. 3.12.3.4 Wastewater Collection System:

· The contractor shall be responsible for interior wastewater piping upstream from five feet out of the exterior foundation wall or outside cleanout.
