Section 6-408. Sanitary Sewer System.
A. General.
1. All development, whether public or private, shall include provisions for the construction of sanitary sewers and appurtenances designed in accordance with this Section. Developers shall use either the public sewer system or an alternative sewer system, certified by the agency or municipality with jurisdictional authority, provided that the development is proximate to a transmission line that has adequate capacity to handle such proposed development.
2. All sanitary sewer improvements shall be installed in accordance with the material installation and testing requirements of the "Standard Specifications for Water and Sewer Main Construction in Illinois," Sixth Edition July 2009 latest edition, unless otherwise modified in this Section. Sanitary sewer improvements shall conform to all applicable requirements of the current Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (“MWRDGC”) Watershed Management Ordinance (“WMO”).
B. Service Areas. All sewers shall be designed to accommodate an ultimate service area as defined by the Village Board of Trustees.
C. System Extension. The size and location of proposed extensions to the existing sanitary sewer system shall be as approved by the Village Engineer.
D. Basic Design Standards.
1. Design Flows.
a. Design flows for single and multiple residential developments shall be based upon full development of the service area with the population served, estimated as follows:
Type of Dwelling Unit Number of Persons
Studio 1
1 Bedroom 2
2 Bedroom 3
3 Bedroom 4
4 Bedroom 5
The maximum daily per capita design flow shall be calculated using the formula:
Q = 500
P 1/5
Q = 500(P)1/5
Where Q* = maximum design flow, in gallons per capita per day (“gpcpd”) gpcpd
P = population served, in thousands
*Not to exceed four hundred (400) 400 gpcpd or be less than two hundred fifty (250) 250 gpcpd.
For undeveloped residential areas where the details of future developments are not known, design population (P) per acre may be estimated by the Village Engineer.
b. Design flows for non-residential developments shall be based on full development of service area with the maximum daily per capita design flow calculated as follows:
Type of Establishment Unit Average Flow in Gals/day/unit*
Shopping Center Employee 0.10 gal/sq. ft.
(without food service or laundries)
Store Employee 25
(1 shift)
Office Person 25
(1 shift)
Industrial
- with showers Person 35
- without showers Person 25
Restaurant Meal Served 7
Theater Per Seat 5
Hotel Per Guest 100
* Quantities are exclusive of process water requirements which must be estimated and added.
For non-residential developments where the details of the development are not established, domestic design flows may be estimated by the Village Engineer. Such flow estimate shall not relieve the owner or developer of the responsibility to provide adequate sanitary sewer capacity in order to meet any and all future requirements within the development.
2. Sewer Design Hydraulics.
a. Sanitary gravity sewer mains shall be designed to provide design flow capacity, without surcharging, using typical Manning's formula:
Q = (A) 1.486 (R)2/3 (S)1/2
n
Where Q= design flow in units of cubic feet per second (“cfs”)
A= area in units of square feet
R= hydraulic radius in units of feet
S= slope in units of feet per foot (dimensionless)
n= roughness coefficient, independent on conduit material
b. Roughness coefficient utilized shall be as follows:
1. Concrete pipe - 0.013
2. A.B.S. Truss pipe - 0.012
2. Ductile iron - 0.014
3. Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) - 0.009
c. Design mean velocity, flowing full, shall not be less than two (2) feet per second or greater than fifteen (15) feet per second.
d. Design flow shall include total allowable infiltration at any point based on two hundred (200) one hundred (100) gallons per inch of diameter of sewer per mile per twenty-four (24) day at any time for any section of the system.
e. Minimum and maximum design slopes are found in Part F.3 and are per the MWRDGC WMO.

Immediately after backfilling, the entire length of the sewer trench, including stubs, shall be inundated to normal ground water level or eighteen (18) inches above the top of sewer pipe, whichever is higher. At that time, infiltration tests shall be made to determine compliance with the allowable infiltration criteria. To measure the amount of infiltration, the contractor shall furnish, install, and maintain a V-notch shape crested weir in a metal frame tightly secured at the lower end of each sewer test section as directed by the Village Engineer.

5. Exfiltration Testing. If during the construction of the sewer system, the Village Engineer shall determines that it is impractical to obtain a proper infiltration test, then a test for watertightness shall be made by bulkheading the sewer at the manhole at the lower end of the section under test and filling the sewer with water to eighteen (18) inches above the tip top of the sewer in the manhole at the upper end of the section. Leakage will then be calculated as the measured amount of water added to maintain the above described level at a maximum allowable exfiltration rate of two hundred (200) one hundred (100) gallons per inch of diameter of sewer per mile per twenty-four (24) hour day at any time for any section of the system.
6. Air Testing. In lieu of infiltration or exfiltration testing, All Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) and Polyvinyl Chloride Molecularly Oriented Pressure Pipe (PVCO) will require low pressure air testing meeting ASTM F1417. The Village Engineer may permit require air testing for other pipe materials in accordance with ASTM C828.
7. Deflection Testing.
a. All Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) and Polyvinyl Chloride Molecularly Oriented Pressure Pipe (PVCO) require deflection testing. The 5% deflection test for pipe sizes six (6) to fifteen (15) inches in diameter is to be run using a nine-arm mandrel having a diameter equal to 95% of the base diameter of the pipe as established in ASTM D-3034. For pipe sizes eighteen (18) to twenty-seven (27) inches diameter, the nine-arm mandrel size shall be 95% of the inside diameter and wall thickness dimensions shown in Table 1 of ASTM F-679, latest issue. The test shall be performed without mechanical pulling devices.
b. The individual lines to be tested shall be so tested no sooner than thirty (30) days after they have been installed.
c. Wherever possible and practical, the testing shall initiate at the downstream lines and proceed towards the upstream lines. d. No pipe shall exceed a deflection of 5%. Where deflection is found to be in excess of 5% of the original pipe diameter, the contractor shall excavate to the point of excess deflection and carefully compact around the point where excess deflection was found. The line shall then be retested for deflection. If the deflected pipe fails to return to the original size (inside diameter) after the second test, the line shall be replaced accordingly to the standards set forth in this Section.
