This service is galvanized coming from the curb box located on 9 ½ Street and 19th Avenue in the

right-of- way to the Southeast corner of the house. The main is in 9 ½ Street which is an attached PFD

of the City water and sewer. There is two curb box side by side in the right-of-away so its important

the length of this service, an alternate material shall be used. This must be an approved HDPE piping

with NSF/ANSI/CAD 61 rating that shall be used for the new service line and fittings. The line will be

bored from the main in the street to a new shut off/ curb box to the Southwest side of the house

install the new shut off. That will be leaving a short run into the house. Once inside the house there

will need some plumbing modifications at the existing meter location to accommodate hooking up to

the service. A shut shall be installed before the meter location. There shall be a locating wire (IPC

306.2.4) ran from the main to the house on this new service. At the main the old service line shall be

disconnected and terminated within a few inches of the main. This shall be inspected and the new

connect before backfilling begins. The soils from the street excavation shall be hauled away and

clean rock brought in which will be compacted in lifts. A side walk patch will be done along with the

road patch per Rock Island Public Work department speciation’s. This project will require a licensed

electrician to run ground rods and connect a new wire to ground the houses electrical service.
