WATER MAIN PLAN AND SPECIFICATION APPROVAL
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Division of Environmental Management, Bureau of Drinking Water and Groundwater, is conditionally approving plans and specifications for the following project. An engineering report or information of sufficient detail to meet the requirements of s. NR 811.09(3), Wis. Adm. Code, was submitted along with the plans and specifications.
Water system name: Oshkosh Waterworks Date received: 07/26/2023 Engineering firm: Strand Associates, Inc. Professional Engineer: Matthew Yentz, P.E. DNR Plan Reviewer: Martin Pollard, 101 South Webster Street, Madison, WI 53703, (608) 212-5238,
martin.pollard@wisconsin.gov Project Description: Water main extensions consisting of approximately 1,965 feet of 10-inch diameter ductile iron pipe on Clairville Road.
Water main extensions will meet or exceed the Standard Specifications for Sewer & Water Construction in Wisconsin (Sixth Edition). Water main construction will also meet or exceed the requirements set forth in NR
811, Subchapter X of the Wisconsin Administrative Code.
Private water mains and water services may require plan review by Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) and are not reviewed or approved by the Department of Natural Resources. Service connections that will have static pressures exceeding 80 psi should have an individual pressure reducing valve installed in accordance with DSPS requirements. Contact DSPS at 608-267-9421 for further information on potential need for plan review. Replacement of service lines constructed of lead, or galvanized lines formerly downstream of lead, should be conducted in accordance with AWWA C810 standards to minimize potential consumer exposure to
lead.
