TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
On
On March 25, 1968, the City Commission approved the use of
plastic water piping under the following conditions:
1. The plastic piping used shall be either PVC -160#
working pressure (Type 1) commercial standard
CS -256-63, ASTM D -1784-60T; or Municipal Service
Line (Type 3, Grade 3) high density, high molecu-
lar weight, commercial standard CS -255-63
AST14 D -1784-63T.
2. Only iron pipe sizes shall be used.
3. Plastic pipe is not to be used under paving or
from the water main to the water meter.
4. Plastic pipe is not to be used for interior resi-
dential or commercial plumbing.
5. The installation is to be made in accordance with
the Salina Plumbing Code and the manufacturer's
specifications.
The electrical system and the telephone system normally use
the metallic water -piping .within the structure for grounding.
Replacement of the metallic water service line with a non-
metallic material may create a very serious shock hazard both
to the workman and to the tenants of the structure. Removal
of the grounding connections (which is unauthorized) may
actually increase the hazard. In order to eliminate this
hazard, we recommend the r.egrounding of the electrical system
prior to the replacement of the water service.
This office will require the issuance of an electrical permit
for the regrounding of the electrical service and bonding to
the water piping prior to the issuance of the plumbing permit.
Very truly yours,
