About this file
This is a Section IV Water Details standard specification document prepared by the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC Water) for use in water infrastructure projects throughout Maryland. The document serves as a comprehensive technical reference guide containing standardized details and specifications for water main installation, testing methodologies, and appurtenance configurations. The specification covers a wide range of water system components including air valves, valve boxes, blowoff connections, pressure reducing and relief valve vaults, meter vaults (flow meter, compound meter, and ultrasonic meter configurations), water service connections, fire hydrant installations, and pipe closure joint details. The document includes detailed design standards for pipe sizes ranging from 1-inch to 48-inch nominal diameters, with separate specifications for ductile iron pipe and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe installations. Each specification section includes detailed load charts, reinforcing details for concrete structures, and installation notes to guide contractors in proper construction and material placement.
The specification document functions as a standards reference tool rather than a procurement document and does not contain pricing information, set-asides, funding sources, or contract award details. The standards establish uniform construction practices and technical requirements that would apply to the WSSC Water's Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for urgent repairs, rehabilitation, and replacement of water and wastewater assets in Prince George's and Montgomery Counties, Maryland, with responses due by 2:00 p.m. on September 21, 2026. The detailed specifications ensure consistency and quality across multiple task orders issued by WSSC Water for water infrastructure work involving assets up to thirty inches in nominal diameter.
