WORK INCLUDED:

2. The manhole shall be filled with water to the top of the cone section. If the excavation
has not been backfilled and observation indicates no visible leakage, that is, no water visibly
moving down the surface of the manhole, the manhole may be considered to be
satisfactorily water-tight. If the test, as described above, 1s unsatisfactory as determined
by the Engineer or 1f the manhole excavation has been backfilled, the test shall be
continued. A period of time may be permitted if the Contractor so wishes, to allow for

D. ACCESSORIES:
1. All accessories shall be installed in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.

2. Stubs shall be set accurately to the dimensions indicated on the drawings. Stubs shall be
sealed with suitable watertight plugs.
