• City of Alpena Standard Sewer Service Detail

It should be noted that a plumbing permit will not be required for the lead and copper

project as the state has deemed that the City has control of the line up the meter or 18

inches inside of the structure and any inspection of this installation shall fall under the

same premise as an infrastructure inspection.

Coordination of Work Preformed

When necessary, primarily during the replacement of water services in accordance with

the state and federal lead and copper rules, the contractor shall be responsible for

coordinating and arranging for an excavation contractor from the preapproved list to

complete the reconnection of the water services to the City meter inside the structures.

of pay. The contractor shall provide materials and provide the City with a price breakdown

multiple contractors. Emergency Work shall be assigned to a contractor based on first

available in regard to the work to be performed. Additionally, considerations will be given

to contractors who have a working understanding of the building in need of service.
