Village of Lansing/Bolton Point Dual Purpose Main Operational and Transition Procedures
October 7, 2014
Normal Operation and Procedures
The proposed dual purpose (BPWS water transmission and Village water distribution) 18-inch water
main crossing under NYS Route 13 will normally function as a part of Village distribution system. SCLIWC
shall perform routine maintenance, in accordance to its existing transmission main valve and hydrant
maintenance program, on the four (4) 18-inch valves in-line and immediately adjacent to the existing 18-
inch SCLIWC transmission main on an annual basis. The Operator of the Village distribution system
(currently SCLIWC) shall perform routine valve and hydrant maintenance on the remainder of the valves
and hydrants shown on the appended drawing, in accordance with SCLIWC’s distribution valve and
hydrant maintenance procedures and at a frequency of not less than annually.
From time to time, SCLIWC might require use of this main when undertaking repairs, maintenance, or
replacement of the existing SCLIWC 18-inch transmission main under NYS Route 13 immediately west of
the dual purpose water main. The following procedures will apply:
Procedures for transition from Distribution to Transmission Service and Vice versa
In some cases, the transfer of the main from Village distribution to BPWS transmission service
will need to occur within one hour or less of discovery of a problem with the existing BPWS
crossing of Route 13. SCLIWC shall notify the Village Superintendent of Public Works
(Superintendent) or his or her designee as early as possible before transferring the main from
Village distribution to BPWS transmission service. It shall be ascertained whether at least one of
the two 8-inch Village distribution mains crossing Route 13 is in service before implementing the
transfer of service. If not, SCLIWC and the Operator of the Village distribution system shall
install a temporary hydrant-to-hydrant supply between the two new hydrants “A” and “B” as
indicated on the appended drawing, using minimum 4.5-inch hose rated and reserved for
potable water use only and a minimum 4-inch hydrant-mounted pressure reducing valve
adjusted to the operating pressure of the Village system. SCLIWC shall maintain an inventory of
and supply the required materials. The Operator of the Village distribution system shall notify
the Tompkins County 911 Center that the Village distribution system south of Route 13 is
subject to limited fire flow.
If SCLIWC is unable to contact the Superintendent or designee within a suitable time period, and
if the BPWS transmission system can no longer function without the use of the dual purpose
water main, and if it has been ascertained that at least one of the Village 8-inch distribution
mains crossing Route 13 is in service or the above-described temporary supply has been
established; SCLIWC may complete the transition of the dual purpose water main without
notification to the Village. SCLIWC shall make notification to the Village as soon as practical
after completing the transition.
SCLIWC and the Operator of the Village distribution system shall complete transitions from
distribution to transmission service, and vice versa, taking all reasonable precautions and
following generally accepted procedures to prevent damage to both systems. Such precautions
and procedures shall include operating valves so as not to over-pressurize or depressurize either
system.
SCLIWC shall notify the Superintendent or designee within 24 hours after the need to use the
dual purpose water main for transmission service has passed. SCLIWC and the Operator of the
Village distribution system shall collaborate to return the dual purpose water main to Village
distribution service at a time agreeable to SCLIWC and the Village.
