WHAT IS A SIDE SEWER AS-BUILT PLAN?
A side sewer as-built plan is the drawing that shows all changes made to the side sewer and/or service drains during construction. After construction, it becomes part of the City’s permanent public record. Side sewer as-built plans are submitted to the Site Inspector at final inspection to close out the side sewer permit. Records may also be submitted via email to siteinspection@cityoftacoma.org.
WHAT MUST BE ON A SIDE SEWER AS-BUILT PLAN?
The drawing should show the alignment, depth and materials used for the as-constructed side sewer on the property and/or in the right-of-way (ROW). An as-built plan is required for new services, additions, alterations, repairs and capping side sewer work associated with building demolition.
GUIDELINES FOR PREPARING A SIDE SEWER AS-BUILT PLAN
- Include enough of the building footprint to be able to reference a dimension to the new side sewer location
- Include a standard north arrow on the drawing
- Schematically draw piping system installed
- Label all horizontal and vertical bends in degrees
- Label sizes and reference dimension all reducer coupling and cleanouts.
- Label and locate point of connection to city system. If new tap, label type and whether TV inspection is required
- Label depth reference at building, clean outs, property line, and City system connection
- Field measure distances between all pipe fittings to nearest half foot
- Provide two dimensions from landmarks to cleanouts
- Label sizes, types, noting whether glued or gasket for new and existing piping
- Label all existing utilities encountered; type, size and depth
