A complete documentation of all parameters relating to the design and construction of municipal services is beyond the scope of this manual, however, an attempt has been made to touch upon the parameters of greatest importance and to present the policies and accepted procedures of the City. Municipal services systems shall include sanitary sewerage systems, water systems, storm drainage systems, streets, walkways and sidewalks which are owned, operated, and maintained by the City. The purpose of this document is to provide guidance for Consultants in the provision of municipal service systems offering acceptable service which is consistent with the lowest possible installation, operation, and maintenance costs. The design of municipal services, when submitted to the City, must be over the seal of a Professional Engineer in accordance with the Engineering Profession Act. This document is not intended to eliminate the necessity for detailed design; rather it is intended to standardize the materials, design standards, and method of construction to be utilized in the installation of municipal services. Further, it is not the intention of the City to stifle innovation. Where, in the judgement of the Consultant, variations from this document are justified or required and where the Consultant can show that alternate approaches can produce the desired results, such approaches will be considered for approval. In considering requests for variations from these design standards, the Municipal Engineer shall take into consideration such factors as safety, nuisance, system maintenance, operational costs, life cycle costs, environmental issues, natural topography, configuration of the bulk land, etc. Designs will be accompanied by statements of certification by the Consultant to the effect that designs have been completed in accordance with these standards. Where the Consultant uses standards other than those outlined in this document, he/she shall clearly indicate in all appropriate documents and plans those areas of difference. The acceptance by the City of the design of proposed municipal services systems shall not relieve the Consultant of the responsibility of proper design, he/she retains full responsibility, and liabilities for his/her work as a Professional Engineer. In any case where these standards require expansion or clarification, the latest revisions of the following documents may be used for reference: - 'Standard Specification for Municipal Services' prepared by the Nova Scotia Road Builders Association and the Nova Scotia Consulting Municipal Engineers Association; - ii American Water Works Association Standards; - iii 'Atlantic Canada Standards and Guidelines Manual for the Collection, Treatment, and Disposal of Sanitary Sewage' prepared by the four Environment Departments; - iv 'General Provisions and Contract Specifications for Highway Construction' prepared by the Department of Transportation and Public Works; - v 'Geometric Design Guide for Canadian Roads' prepared by the Transportation Association of Canada; - vi 'Urban Supplement to the Geometric Design Guide for Canadian Roads' prepared by the Transportation Association of Canada. - vii Atlantic Canada Guidelines for the Supply, Treatment, Storage, Distribution, and Operation of Drinking Water Supply Systems. viii Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Canada (latest edition). All contract documents prepared for municipal service system works in the City shall contain a clause requiring the contractor to carry out all work in compliance with all applicable municipal, provincial, and federal regulations including, but not limited to, the Occupational Health and Safety Act for the Province of Prince Edward Island. In addition to these standards and guidelines all work must be designed and constructed in accordance with all provincial and federal regulations, standards, and guidelines. ## 1.2 Review of Submissions All drawings, calculations and other submissions will be reviewed by the City for conformity with these standards and the City may request changes as required. Acceptance by the City does not eliminate the Consultant's or the Developer's responsibilities with regards to compliance with these standards. ## 1.3 Revisions to Development Standards These standards are subject to change without notice and the onus lies with the Consultant to ensure that they are in possession of the latest revision. ## 1.4 Standard Specifications City of Summerside Standard Specifications For Municipal Services may be amended from time to time by the Municipal Engineer. Consultants shall use the City of Summerside Standard Specification unless permission is received in the writing from the Municipal Engineer to use another specification for all or a portion of the work. ## 1.5 Other Utilities Other work including electrical and communication services shall meet those utility standards and are to be coordinated with the work herein. ## Section 2 SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS ## 2.1 General Requirements This section summarizes some of the information that must be submitted in order for the City to properly evaluate and approve the construction drawings and specifications.

Such a system consists of ditches, swales, greenways, retention ponds, roadways, curbs, catch basins, manholes, pipes or conduits, watercourses, etc. The development standards contained in this section are included to illustrate the more common aspects encountered in the design of storm drainage systems. In addition to these development standards, all storm drainage systems shall conform to any requirements established by the Province. No system shall be constructed until the design has been approved by the Municipal Engineer and by the Province (where applicable). It is intended that all storm drainage for developments is to be piped along and to streets. Swales and greenways shall be incorporated where approved or directed by the Municipal Engineer. On site storm drainage is a requirement for all developments other than single family, semi-detached and duplexes. The designed system shall control the storm water leaving the site to the limits set out in the City's storm water strategy and the storm water shall be piped into an existing storm drainage system. The Municipal Engineer may exempt a development based on the property layout and the volume of runoff. In addition, the latest revision of all applicable and relevant codes and standards shall be used by the designer, including but not limited to the following: - City of Summerside Sub-Division Bylaw SS-19; - Provincial Environmental Standards; - City of Summerside Storm Sewer Strategy. ## Responsibility of Developer The Developer is responsible for the design and construction of a storm water drainage system to intercept runoff entering the proposed development and runoff within the proposed development and to discharge it into a watercourse or an existing drainage system owned by the City or the Province. The Developer must ensure that runoff water is not diverted onto adjacent properties and provision is made to accommodate drainage from adjacent properties. ## Design Drainage Area Drainage basin information will be provided by the City. The developer must prepare the drainage plan and calculate the flows from contour plans and the information provided. The Developer must include other areas which may become tributary by reason of regarding. ## Drainage Plan Plan of the drainage area shall be to a scale of 1:500, 1:1250, or 1:2500, depending on the size of the area and shall show generally: - Streets; - Watercourses and direction of flow; - Existing / proposed storm drainage pipes and sizes, catch basins and manholes. Catch basins and manholes shall be numbered; - Tributary areas to each inlet, size of the area in hectares and the runoff coefficient clearly shown therein; - Contour lines having an interval of one meter where available, but not greater than two meters; - Proposed surface drainage (i.e. swales, ditches, etc.). ## Subdivision Grading Plan - a. The Subdivision Grading Plan shall indicate the design drainage pattern within the subdivision and shall include the information as per Section 2.b.iii. - b. The foundation elevation shall be established to ensure it conforms with the following except in exceptional circumstances where the Municipal Engineer may alter the standard: 3. it shall be 700 mm above the street centerline elevation at the center of the lot; 4. it shall provide a minimum of 2% slope away from the building on all sides. This slope should be greater where the flow from other areas is to be channelled along the lot line; and 5. it shall be high enough to permit a sewer lateral to be installed under the footing of a typical 2.4 m basement. If this is not attainable the restrictions on basement depth shall be noted. - c. The foundation elevation is set assuming the finished ground elevation on all sides of the building will be 300 mm below top of foundation. If the finished ground elevation is to be more than 300 mm below top of foundation on any side, the drainage on the lot shall be reviewed, the foundation elevation adjusted accordingly and more information shall be provided for that lot. - d. Where a property owner wishes to change the elevations or drainage patterns indicated on the plan he will be responsible to redesign the drainage for all affected lots and provide a new Subdivision Grading Plan as per City standards. ## 4.2 Flow Calculation ## Runoff Computations shall be based on the Rational Method formula: Q = R.A.I.N. where: Q. = maximum rate of runoff, in litres per second R = runoff coefficient A = area tributary to the point of design, in hectares 1 = average rainfall intensity, having duration equal to the time of concentration of drainage area, in millimetres per hour N = Constant = 2.778 Standard design forms may be used for all calculations. The form must list the following information: location, manhole (from-to), length of pipe (m), channel dimensions, tributary area (ha), runoff coefficient, runoff (I/s), pipe diameter (m), slope (m/m), capacity (I/s), velocity (m/s), additional capacity available (I/s). If any other format is to be used, the above information is to be contained and outlined. Manholes and catch basins shall be numbered and numbers shall match the Drainage Plan. ## Runoff Coefficient The value of the coefficient shall be obtained by correlating the ratio of impervious to pervious surfaces. The following are suggested coefficients for fully developed areas: | - Parks & Undeveloped Areas | 0.10 - 0.30 | |-------------------------------|---------------| | - Single Family Residence | 0.30 - 0.50 | | - Semi-Detached | 0.40 - 0.60 | | - Row Housing | 0.60 - 0.75 | | - Apartments | 0.50 - 0.70 | | - Parking Lot Areas (paved) | 0.90 - 1.00 | | - Light Industrial | 0.50 - 0.80 | | - Heavy Industrial | 0.60 - 0.90 | | - Hospitals | 0.70 | | - Light Commercial | 0.50 - 0.70 | | - Commercial Core | 0.70 - 0.95 | | - Heavily developed areas | 0.80 - 0.95 | ## Rainfall Intensity The rainfall intensity shall be based on a 1 in 10 year return period with duration equal to the time of concentration for residential areas. Trunk drainage system, bridges and other critical structures as determined by the City shall be on a 1 in 100 year return period with a duration equal to the time of concentration. The design intensity must be obtained from the most recent Environment Canada data available for the Summerside area which may be obtained from the City. Design consideration shall be given where possible for overland flow when drainage capacity has been reached. This will help prevent damage to public and private properties. ## 4.3 Design and Layout ## Capacity of Pipe Manning's Formula V=2/3 S 2 shall be used to compute the capacity of 'n' storm sewers. The following roughness coefficient shall be used: - Concrete box culverts - PVC pipe - Concrete pipe 0.013 - 0.013 - 0.011 ## Minimum Size - Street sewers 300 mm - Catch basin leads single 250 mm / double 300 mm ## Velocity: (for design flow)Error! Bookmark not defined. - Minimum 1m/s - Maximum 5 m/s for diameter up to and including 750 mm and 6 m/s for diameters larger than 750 mm. ## Change of Size No decrease of pipe size from a larger size upstream to a smaller pipe downstream shall be allowed regardless of the increase in grade. ## Earth Load Shall be calculated by using the Marston Formula. ## Superimposed Load The effect of concentrated and distributed superimposed loads shall be evaluated by generally accepted formula. ## Minimum Depth The minimum depth of cover of any storm drainage main located within the street rightof -way shall be 1.2 metres. ## Clearance crossings. A minimum of 150 mm clearance is required between outside barrels at all pipe ## Location - a. Where possible, for local streets, all storm sewer pipe and appurtenances shall be located within the street right-of-way owned by the City or the Province. Unless approved by the Municipal Engineer all storm sewer mains on local street rights-of-way shall be located on the side of the street with the sewer main and 4.0 metres from centerline. On collector streets the main shall be located as directed by the Municipal Engineer. - b. Storm sewer mains shall be installed on all streets in the development including - connector streets constructed to allow for future development and shall extend to the edge of the subdivision development. At locations where the storm sewer line ends and is not intended to be extended, the terminal manhole shall be located such that the maximum spacing of catch basins is not exceeded. - c. When approved by the Municipal Engineer, a storm drainage system may be installed within easements granted in favour of the City. The minimum width of an easement will be 6 metres. However, the actual width of the easement shall depend on the depth and size of the pipe lines or width of the drainage channel contained within the easement. Easements shall be of sufficient width to allow safe access to the pipeline in accordance with the requirements of the Occupational Health and Safety Act for the Province. Depending on the length and location of the easement, the Municipal Engineer may require a travel way to be provided within the easement for access and maintenance purposes. Unless approved by the Municipal Engineer storm drainage pipes within easements shall be installed as close as possible to the centre of the easement. In some instances the City may require a right of way in place of an easement. - d. Where need is identified by the Municipal Engineer to accommodate future upstream lands naturally tributary to the drainage area, an easement or right of way shall be provided from the edge of the street right-of-way to the upstream limit of the subdivision and the storm drainage system shall be installed from the main line on the street to the limit of the subdivision. - e. Manholes shall be located at every change of horizontal and vertical alignment, size and material of the storm sewer. - f. Storm drainage pipes shall be identified by placing an underground warning tape one metre directly above the main. The tape shall be polyethylene with a message approved by the Municipal Engineer. Where the main is shallow, the minimum cover over the tape shall be 500 mm. ## Service Laterals All laterals, if required by the City or Developer, from the main to the property line shall be provided by the Developer or the property owner. ## Allowable Side Slopes Slopes for ditches, swales, and greenways shall be at a maximum slope of 3:1. The lower section of a greenway may be sloped steeper subject to approval and if conducive to the intended use of the greenway. ## Protection of Existing System Where a storm sewer main is to be extended the Contractor shall install a 6 mm screen or other device over the outlet pipe of an appropriate manhole to prevent silt, gravel or other debris from entering the existing system. The method to be used and the location shall be approved by the Municipal Engineer. Similar precautions must be installed at any connection to an existing channel. ## Surcharged Structures Where a storm sewer main is accepting from or discharging into a ditch or an existing storm drainage system at a higher elevation than the new designed system elevation, a catch basin and two vertical bends are required as per the City's standard specification. ## 4.4 Materials and Structures ## Materials - a.

This Section of the Municipal Development Standards is supplemental to these Standards and Guidelines. The City of Summerside sewer system is to be designed and constructed according to the Atlantic Canada Guidelines and the City of Summerside Servicing Standards. As well, all sewer systems shall conform to any other requirements established by the Province. No system shall be constructed until the design has been approved by the City and the Province. Sewer system extensions must by carried out in conformance with: - the City of Summerside Subdivision Bylaw SS-19; - the City of Summerside Water and Sewer Utility Bylaw and Regulations; - the City of Summerside Sewer System Strategy. The Sewer System Strategy shall identify major infrastructure requirements. As much as possible the numbering system used in the supplement corresponds with the Atlantic Provinces Standards and Guidelines document. Unless stated otherwise each item in this supplement is in addition to the Atlantic Canada Standard. The sewer system must conform to any provisions of the City of Summerside Official Plan. The sewer mains shall connect to the existing sewer mains where directed by the Municipal Engineer. The system shall also extend to the edges of the development to collect sewage from upstream areas as directed by the Municipal Engineer. ## 7.2 Design of Sewers ## General Inflow/Infiltration Allowance Newer areas are to be at the lower end of the range and older areas are to be at the higher end. The designer is to discuss the value with the Municipal Engineer prior to completing the design. ## Domestic Sewer Flows - a. Replace Section 2.3.3.a. with the following: 'The sewage collection system shall be designed for a net residential population density of 45 persons per hectare. The Net Residential Population Density area includes building lots, local ROWs, and parks. In developments where the anticipated population exceeds or is anticipated to exceed the population density of 45 persons per hectare the domestic sewage flow rate shall be adjusted as determined by the Municipal Engineer. The design population or assumed domestic flow rate must be clearly specified in the calculations submitted for review and approval.' - b. Replace Section 2.3.3.b. with the following: 'average daily domestic flow (excusive of extraneous flows) of 230 L/cap-d;' - c. Harmon Formula is to be used. - d. The flow from existing industrial areas is approximately 5 m3/hectare/day. This is to be used for flows from existing developed industrial areas. For undeveloped industrial areas the designer shall estimate the flow based on the existing flow rate and the values suggested in the Guideline. The designer is to discuss the value with the Municipal Engineer prior to completing the design. ## Pressure Pipes Replace the existing 2.4.2 with the following: 'Sanitary Sewers may not be designed as pressure pipes! ## Pipe Depth - a. The designer shall take into consideration possible future extensions of the gravity sanitary sewer system when determining depth of cover and grade of sewer mains so that, wherever possible, those mains shall be installed at a sufficient depth to provide service to adjoining lands. The depth of sanitary sewer mains as measured from the design grade at finished surface to the crown of the pipe shall not normally exceed a maximum of 4.5 metres. However, under special conditions, if full and justifiable reasons are given (such as elimination of pumping station), the maximum depth of sanitary sewer mains may be increased such that the depth to the crown of the pipe at any manhole location shall not exceed 5.5 metres. Generally the sewer shall be deep enough to permit the service to be installed under the footing of houses and under the water main with sufficient clearance. A depth of 2.6 metres is normally sufficient to permit this. Notwithstanding the above, in specific conditions a minimum depth for sanitary sewer mains of 1.5 metres may be approved by the Municipal Engineer. ## Sewer Laterals - a. Sanitary sewer laterals shall be installed at a minimum grade of 2 percent. The minimum size sewer lateral is 100 mm diameter. - b. Connections to the main shall be inspected by authorized City personnel. - c. Sewer laterals connecting to mains much deeper than the lateral pipe must drop to connect to the main using a method approved by the Municipal Engineer. The method chosen must provide proper support for the lateral pipe. - d. Each unit must have a separate sewer service connection. Double connections are not permitted without written, conditional approval of the Municipal Engineer. - e. Sanitary sewer service connections shall be installed from the main to the property line of each lot and be located as close as possible to the centre of the lot frontage. Facing the property, the water lateral shall be on the left of the sewer lateral. In situations where lot frontages are small or upon a written request from the property owner the Municipal Engineer may approve an alternate location for the lateral at the lot line. - f. All capped sewer service connections shall be marked at the property line. Each marker shall consist of a 38 mm x 90 mm stake extending from the pipe end at pipe level to 600 mm above grade. The exposed portion of the stake shall be painted red with designation sanitary in black. The invert elevation of the pipe shall be indicated on the As-Built drawings and the Lot Servicing Information sheet. ## Materials - a. Pipe for sanitary sewer shall be PVC unless approved otherwise by the engineer. All PVC sanitary sewer pipe shall be green. - b. Shop drawings must be submitted for any special equipment such as lift stations, air/vacuum valves, etc. and for any fabricated items. - c. A complete list of acceptable materials is included with the City of Summerside Standard Specifications For Municipal Services Section 01602 - Sanitary Sewer System Acceptable Materials. ## Bedding, Haunching &Initial Backfill Replace the three sections with the following: Excavated material conforming to Section 2.4.15.7 - Final Backfill may be used as bedding, haunching, and initial backfill if recommended by the Consultant and approved by the Municipal Engineer. ## Final Backfill In the second paragraph remove the following sentence: 'Compaction of the final backfill is usually controlled by the location as follows: traffic areas; 95% of modified Proctor density required; general urban area; 90% of modified Proctor density may be adequate; undeveloped areas; 85% of modified Proctor density may be required.' And replace it with the following: 'Compaction of the final backfill shall be controlled by the location as follows: under streets, sidewalks and driveways shall be 100% Standard Proctor Density and other areas shall be 95% Standard Proctor Density! ## Borrow Materials Delete this section. ## Location - a. Where possible, for local streets, all sanitary sewer pipe and appurtenances shall be located within the street right-of-way owned by the City or the Province. Unless approved by the Municipal Engineer all sanitary sewer mains on local street rights-of-way shall be located on the side of the street opposite the water main and 5.25 metres from centerline. On collector streets the main shall be located as directed by the Municipal Engineer. - b. Sewer mains shall be installed on all streets in the development including connector streets constructed to allow for future development and shall extend to the edge of the subdivision development except as noted in Section 4.5a of this bylaw. - c. Dead end manholes shall be installed at the centre of the last lot to be serviced. - d. The Developer must extend the sewer main from the existing City mains to service the development. - e. When approved by the Municipal Engineer, sanitary sewer mains may be installed within easements or ROW's granted in favour of the City. The minimum width of easement will be 6 metres. However, the actual width of the easement shall depend on the depth of the pipe contained within the easement. Easements shall be of sufficient width to allow safe access to the pipeline in accordance with the requirements of the Occupational Health and Safety Act for the Province of Prince Edward Island. Depending on the length and location of the easement, the Municipal Engineer may require a travel way to be provided within the easement for access and maintenance purposes. Unless approved by the Municipal Engineer sanitary sewer pipes within easements shall be installed as close as possible to the centre of the easement. The City may require a rightof-way instead of an easement. - f. Where need is identified by the Municipal Engineer to accommodate future upstream lands naturally tributary to the drainage area, an easement shall be provided from the edge of the street right-of-way to the upstream limit of the subdivision and the sewer pipe and appurtenances shall be installed from the main line to the limit of the subdivision. - g. Where a sanitary sewer main is to be extended the Contractor shall install a 6 mm screen or other device over the outlet pipe of an appropriate manhole to prevent silt, gravel or other debris from entering the existing system. The method to be used and the location shall be approved by the Municipal Engineer. ## Testing & Inspection The following tests shall be completed and reports submitted in accordance with the City of Summerside Standard Specification: - video inspection; - infiltration/exfiltration test; - manhole leakage test; - deflection test. The following tests shall be completed and reports submitted in accordance with Appendix D1 of these Municipal Development Standards: - trench compaction; - backfill material compliance. ## Warning/Marker and Detection Tape Sewer mains shall be identified by placing an underground warning tape one metre directly above the main. The tape shall be polyethylene with green background and black letters. The message shall be Caution, Sewer Line Buried'. ## Alternate Wastewater Collection Systems Replace with the following: Alternate Wastewater Collection Systems are not permitted in the City. ## Installations in Developed Areas This section addresses the requirements specific to the installation of new services along an existing street or for the replacement of existing services. - a. Construction in developed areas and replacement of sanitary sewer system components shall be in accordance with the City standards where practical. The Municipal Engineer may permit exceptions to the standards where constraints exist that are difficult to rectify. - b. For installations where the new main cannot be installed in accordance with these standards the following priorities shall be considered for the pipe alignment but the final decision regarding location shall be determined by the Engineer. The priorities for the location of the sewer main are: 1) as close as possible to above guidelines, 2) under gravel shoulder or grass, 3) under sidewalks, 4) under asphalt and 5) under concrete street. - c. Unless written approval is granted by the Municipal Engineer all mains and service connections shall be augured under streets, sidewalks, driveways and other obstacles. No asphalt or concrete is to be cut without approval of the Municipal Engineer. - d. Any asphalt or concrete cut shall be saw-cut and shall be patched according to City standards and specifications and to the satisfaction of the Municipal Engineer. - e. Not withstanding any other section of these standards no work is to proceed on the rights of way of Route 2, Route 1A or other provincial government road without approval of the Province. ## Section 8 Sewage Pumping Stations ## 8.1 Types of Pumping Stations Small pumping stations shall be duplex pumping stations. They shall be constructed as wet wells with fibreglass above ground valve/Control Panel Chamber Assembly to contain the valves and electrical panel. The Municipal Engineer may require a wet well and separate underground valve chamber for some installations. Other manufacturers or types of stations may be requested or approved for specific applications. ## 8.2 Portable Generator Connection Each pumping station shall be equipped with a manual transfer switch and connection for the city's portable generator in the fibreglass enclosure or integrated with the control panel in the case of a separate valve chamber. The equipment shall be installed in a manner in which the panel enclosure can be closed and secured during generator operation. ## 8.3 Permanent Generator A surface mount generator complete with its own steel envelope shall be installed at the station where deemed necessary by the Municipal Engineer. ## 8.4 Forcemain Identification Forcemains shall be identified with underground warning tape placed 1 metre directly above the main. The tape shall be polyethylene with green background and black letters. The message shall be ACaution, Sewer Line Buried. A location tracer wire is to be installed directly on the top of the forcemain for future locating of forcemain. ## Section 9 Appendix D1 - Material Testing Requirements The following materials testing requirements are required to ensure compliance with city standards ## 9.1 Item I - Sandstone (Special Provisions) The contractor shall provide placement control which includes: - An evaluation of the material's plasticity. - The following tests: - A Compaction Control Report for sandstone showing, as a minimum, the | Test: | Procedure: | Frequency: | |---------------------------------------|--------------|--------------------------------------------------| | Determination of % passing 75Фт Sieve | ASTM C-117 | One per material type as delivered to the job. | | Standard Proctor Density | ASTM D-698 | A | | Optimum Moisture | ASTM D-698 | A | | Field Density Determination | ASTM D-2922 | One per 2000 m2/lift (minimum of 4 per contract) | | Thickness Determination | | A | ## following: - X Date tested; - X Test location (chainage and offset); - X Material thickness; - X Field moisture; - Optimum moisture; - X % Compaction.
