About this file

This is a technical specification detail drawing for a sanitary sewer cleanout installation issued by the Augusta Utilities Department. The document provides construction standards for a single service main connection that includes a 6-inch PVC cleanout with a twist-off plug, a precast concrete valve ring with 5/8-inch rebar reinforcement, and connection to the sewer main via 6-inch T-WYE fittings. The cleanout is positioned at the right-of-way with a minimum slope of 1/8 inch per foot toward the sewer main and must include a 12-gauge copper tracer wire attached to the pipe for utility locating purposes, with the tracer wire remaining accessible at grade level.

Key construction requirements specify that no bends are permitted between the sewer cleanout and sewer tap, pipe materials for the cleanout and mainline must be identical, and a street-rated sewer cleanout cap is required when located in pavement. The builder's plumber may optionally cut into the standpipe to install a 6-inch WYE to minimize connection depth, with the builder assuming all responsibility for any resulting damage to the sewer service or tap, which must be repaired according to Richmond County Specifications. The detail was revised in November 2024 and approved January 2025 by the Augusta Utilities Department, located at 452 Walker Street, Suite 200, Augusta, Georgia 30901. No revisions or modifications may be made without prior written approval from the Augusta Utilities Department.
