NEW WATER CONNECTIONS - BACK FLOW PREVENTER TEST

DIANA DUERI, "PROJECT MANAGER",  INSPECTED THE WORK AREAS TODAY WITH JERRY ZIMMERMAN "FIELD INSPECTOR".

THE CREW STARTED CONNECTING THE NEW WATER METERS AT TRULUCKS FISH HOUSE..


THEN MOVED TO THE ISLAND MARKET..


FIELD INSPECTOR "JERRY AND WATER METER INSTALLER "BRUCE" EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THE MIDWEST BACK FLOW PREVENTER TEST KIT IS USED BEFORE THE WATER IS TURNED ON..



FIRST, THE AIR IS BLED OFF..


THEN THE TEST KIT IS CONNECTED ACROSS THE FIRST CHECK VALVE AND THE SPRING PRESSURE IS MEASURED TO INSURE THAT IT WILL SEAT PROPERLY..


THEN THE OTHER CHECK VALVE AND THE BLEED OFF VALVE'S SPRING PRESSURE IS TESTED. IF THE TEST FAILS , THE VALVES ARE DISMANTLED AND CLEANED. WHEN THE TEST IS GOOD, THE WATER IS TURNED ON TO THE CUSTOMER..


THE SLEEVE INSTALLED AT GEM REMOTES IS UNCOVERED  TO ALLOW FOR THE NEW 1 1/2" BLUE WATER PIPE TO BE SLIPPED THROUGH..



THE DITCH IS OPENED..


AND THE SIDE WALK IS CUT..


THE CREW THEN MOVES TO THE HOMES ACROSS THE STREET FROM CRISTOBAL ST AND ANTIGUA AVE.  THEY OPEN THE DITCH TO CONNECT TO THE NEW WATER PIPE AND SLIP THE NEW PIPE THROUGH THE SLEEVE..
