(a) In addition to the information on the application for construction permit required in 327 IAC 8-3-3, the following information shall be provided with each application for water main extension covered by this rule: (1) Information describing the project as a new water main, the replacement of an existing water main, or the relocation of an existing water main. (2) The piping material types, sizes, classes, pressure ratings, and length. (3) The total length of water main piping. (4) Types of joints. (5) Minimum depth of cover. (6) A statement that indicates the following: (A) If the water main will provide fire protection. (B) How the water main will be pressure and leak tested, and disinfected. (C) If the water main will cross any streams, rivers, or other bodies of water. (D) If the project area has a history of external corrosion problems. (7) Information describing how the water main will be anchored at: (A) each tee, bend, and dead-end; and (B) any hydrants or other accessories. (8) The minimum horizontal and vertical separation distances from the water mains and any sanitary or storm sewers. (9) The spacing between isolation valves and the spacing between hydrants. (10) The current number of service connections served by the public water system. (11) The public water system's current two (2) year average peak. (12) The capacity of the public water system as determined by use of the methods described in 327 IAC 8-3.3-3. (13) The number and type of service connections added by the water main extension and the corresponding fire flow, average and peak daily customer demand, and the peaking factor as determined by use of the methods described in 327 IAC 8-3.3-2. (14) Flow test information indicating the flowrate, static pressure, residual pressure, date and time of flow test, elevation of flow test location, and the lengths, material types, and diameters of the water main from the flow test location to the point of connection to the water main extension. (b) In addition to the certifications on the application for construction permit required in 327 IAC 8-3-3, a certification signed and dated by the public water system certifying the public water system has agreed to furnish drinking water to the water main extension and that the public water system has acknowledged the responsibility for examining the application, plans, and specifications to determine that the water main extension meets local rules, laws, regulations, and ordinances shall be provided with each application for water main extension covered by this rule. (c) The plans required to be submitted, with an application for construction permit specified in 327 IAC 8-3-3, must bear, on each page of the plans, a dated signature and seal of a professional engineer and must include the following: (1) Location of existing and proposed roads and lot boundaries. (2) Location of existing and proposed water main pipes indicating the lengths, diameters, and material types of the water main pipes. (3) Location of existing and proposed hydrants, isolation valves, road casings, blow-off assemblies, and other accessories. (4) Location of proposed reaction blocking. (5) Location of existing and proposed sanitary sewers, storm sewers, and culverts. (6) Elevation contours at one (1) or two (2) foot intervals. (7) Delineation of the 100-year floodway and flood plain.
