R MAINS AND NON POTABLE PIPELINES The purpose of this memo is to update guidance dated April 5 1983 for consistency with proposed 2003 regulations Should there be any modification to the proposed Water Works Standards that may impact the content of this guidance the guidance will be amended accordingly GUIDANCE CRITERIA FOR THE SEPARATION OF WATER MAINS AND NON POTABLE PIPELINES BACKGROUND When buried water mains are in close proximity to non potable pipelines the water mains are vulnerable to contamination that can pose a risk of waterborne disease outbreaks For example sewers sanitary sewer mains and sewage force mains frequently leak and saturate the surrounding soil with sewage due to structural failure improperly constructed joints and or subsidence or upheaval of the soil encasing the sewer If a nearby water main is depressurized and no pressure or negative pressure occurs that situation is a public health hazard that is compounded if an existing sewer is broken during the installation or repair of the water main Further failure of a water main in close proximity to other pipelines may disturb their bedding and cause them to fail In the event of an earthquake or other disaster simultaneous failure of all pipelines could occur The most effective protection against this type of drinking water contamination is adequate construction and separation of non potable pipelines and water mains The Waterworks Standards Title 22
