18.25.090 Connection With City Utilities.
(a) No permit shall be issued for the purpose of hooking into City utilities (water and sewer, storm sewers, and street lights) except upon prior receipt of all inspection fees and permits required by the City. Property owners desiring to connect to water and sewer mains, laterals, or trunks shall make application for such connection and pay all inspection fees at the main office of the City. All connections to water and sewer mains shall be made by City-licensed contractors and inspected by the Public Works Director or his designated representative. It will be the responsibility of the Contractor to furnish or supply all materials necessary to make the connection and to perform all necessary engineering design, engineering management, engineering inspection, all soils analysis and compaction testing by a certified lab, all surveying by a registered land surveyor, pipe testing, excavating, pipelaying, backfilling, compacting, and to restore the roadway to its original condition.
(b) Water and Sewer Service Lines. When water and/or sewer service is run off the main line or from the curb stop, the property owner receiving the service is to complete a water permit and/or sewer permit, such permit to include:
(1) Building address—lot, block, subdivision, addition.
(2) Date of application.
(3) Connection size.
(4) Property owner, address, and phone number.
(5) Inspection fee.
(6) A complete and accurate diagram or drawing showing the location of the water and/or sewer service line including three swing tie dimensions that pin-point the location of where the service line connects to the main and the location of the water curb stop or the end of the sewer stub.
(7) Any additional information and assurances as the Public Works Director shall find reasonably necessary for the issuance of a permit.
(c) Water and Sewer Main Lines. Contractors installing water and/or sewer mains have to meet the following minimum requirements:
(1) Water and sewer mains have to be engineered and designed by Professional Engineers registered and licensed by the State of Alaska.
(2) All water and sewer mains have to be designed with all future extensions and laterals taken into consideration.
(3) The design of all water and sewer main lines have to be approved by the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation and the City of Kenai prior to any work.
(4) The minimum specifications used for water and sewer main designs will be determined by the Public Works Director, or in his absence, the City Engineer.
