The specifications shall require that the sewer line pass a test tightness before its accept ty, said test to be t than set forth in est Method Alternati finished sewer shall, `either by air or w 'T Test. After plugging a openings and providing thrust' blocking as necessary, air shall 1, be admitted to the section under test at an inlet pressure not ex- ceeding 5 psi 'from a source regulated by an adjustable pres- sure control valve and measured by a sensitive pressure gauge calibrated from 0 to 10 psi. When the internal gauge pres- sure has reached 3.5 psi under stabilized temperature con- ditions, the air supply to the test section shall be cut off. The Inspectar shall then observe the time interval during which the al pressure drops 1 psi 3.0 to 2.0 psi.

The leakage shall be determined from the loss of water from a standpipe or manhole. The water level shall not drop more than two ,feet during the measure- ment. The rate of loss of water shall not exceed 0.05 gallon per day per inch of pipe diameter per foot of length tested, in- cluding the length of service laterals. SECTION 712. EXCEPTIONS It is recognized that unusual con- ditions not anticipated in the composing of these criteria may arise, of such nature that strict conformance would lead to de- signs not indicative of the ap- plicationof proper engineering skill. The criteria shall not interpreted to excuse the engineer from the lrelop au all-around . On the other hand, ri 9 nuance o e cr eria m uired ist: sttua 1 perpose _ . .
