73. SANITARY SEWER DESIGN STANDARDS: Connections to the City's sanitary sewer <br /> network shall conform to Pleasanton Municipal Code Title 15 "Sewerage". All buildings <br /> inhabited by human beings which are not more than approximately 250 feet from the <br /> City's sewer network shall be connected. All premises, parcels, and/or lots shall have <br /> independent connections to the City's sewer network except under the following <br /> conditions: <br /> a. If a private on-site treatment system has been authorized by both the City and <br /> Alameda County Department of Environmental Health. <br /> b. If multiple premises are located on a single parcel or lot which cannot be <br /> subdivided and are all under one ownership. <br /> Public sanitary sewer system shall be designed to satisfy the following minimum <br /> standards: <br /> Minimum Manning Coefficient (n) within the pipe = 0.013 <br /> Minimum flow velocity = 2 feet per second at least once per day <br /> Maximum flow velocity= 10 feet per second <br /> Maximum depth of flow to pipe diameter(d/D) = 0.75 for dry weather flow conditions <br /> Minimum pipe sizes: Laterals = 4 inches diameter; Main = 8 inches diameter; Force main <br /> = 6 inches diameter <br /> Minimum slope per table: <br /> Pipe size in diameter Minimum slope <br /> 4 inches 0.02 (lateral) <br /> 6 inches 0.005 (lateral) <br /> 8 inches 0.003 <br /> 10 inches 0.0025 <br /> 12 inches 0.0020 <br /> 15 inches or larger 0.0015 <br /> Maximum manhole spacing = approximately 350 feet <br /> Minimum curvature for curved sewer mains: approximately 200 feet or not less than <br /> recommended by pipe manufacturer <br /> Minimum pipe cover= approximately five feet <br /> Peaking factor shall be Peak Wet Weather Flow divided by Average Dry Weather <br /> flow (PF = PWWF/ADWF). Referring to the City's Wastewater Master Plan from August <br /> 2007, PF shall be the average of the three events shown on Table 4.5 "Inflow and <br /> Infiltration Analysis"for each subbasin. The Basin I.D. is from Figure ES-3. Minimum <br /> allowable PF = 2.0. <br /> Backflow prevention devices must be installed if the lowest plumbing fixture in the <br /> building is lower than the downstream cleanout overflow device or manhole to assure <br /> effluent discharge outside of the building in case the downstream pipe network becomes <br /> obstructed. <br /> Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) controls: Discharge of FOG to the City's sanitary sewer <br /> system shall conform to Pleasanton Municipal Code Chapter 15.44. In addition to other <br /> controls, a sampling manhole must be provided immediately downstream of any grease <br /> interceptor in accordance with City Standard Drawing 402. (Address this condition prior <br /> to plan approval) <br />
