FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Second Revision) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 30 Nov,ember 1983, after the draft finalized by
the Water Supply and Sanitation Sectional Committee had been approved
by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
0.2 This standard, first published in 1963 'and subsequently revised in 1972,
made an attempt to provide the minimum standards for the design, layout
and workmanship governing water supply in buildings and helped in bringing about desired uniformity in the bye..la ws and regulations framed by
different water supply authorities in the country. The need for following
the regulations are imperative as they are intended for the prevention of
waste, misuse, undue consumption and contamination of drinking water,
the conservation of which has become an urgent necessity in view ofits
increasing demand.
0.2.1 The salient changes made in the revision are for estima~ng the
demand load for water, supply system, for which the minimum water supply
requirements for residential purposes has been changed to 200 liters per
head per day and the discharge curve are now based on Hazen and
William formula.
0.2.2 A separate Indian Standard laying down guidelines; for registration of plumbers is under preparation.
0.3 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with the final value, observed! or calculated,
expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall b,e rounded off in
accordance with IS : 2-1960*. The number of significMlt places retain~d
in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value
in this standard.

requirements and regulations for water supply, plumbing connected to
public water supply, licensing of plumbers, design of water supply systems,
principles of conveyance and distribution of water within the premises,
storage, water fittin,gs and ,appliances, and inspection 'and niainte,nance.
1.2 Many administrative authorities controlling water supply have their
own set of bye-laws, rules .and regulations for supply of water to suit local
conditions. These should be strictly conformed to before operations are
commenced for laying of pipelines or plumbing systems which are to be
connected to public water supply.

5.2 Est:iJnate of DeDland Load - The demand load for wat~r supply
system in a building knot exactly determinable. The number of sanitary
fittings varies not only for different classes of buildings but also In the same
class of buildings depending upon the habits of the people. The minimum
flow that will be satisfactory for any part of the premises will greatly
dep~nd upon the consumer, his standard of living, his professional needs,
the size of the family and other ancilliary requirements, such as
gardening.
. 5.2.1 The water supply requirements for residences and, for b1lildings
other than residences have been specified in IS : 1172-1983*. ~hereas
in the case of buildings other than residences, the number of persons
normally required to occupy the same is usually known; in the case of
residences, the number of persons occupying the premises varies largely
from place to place. In many large cities, there is over-crowding in
residential buildings. The requirements stipulated in this code are based
upon an average family of 5 and a consumption of 1 000 litres per one
dwelling unit. Thus if a building- contains ten dwelling units, the requirement of water has been taken as 10000 Htres per day.
5.3 Rate of Flow ~ One of th~ important items that needs to be determined before the sizes of pipes and fittings for any part of the water piping
system may be decided upon, is the rate of flow in the service pipe which,
in turn depends upon the number of hours for which the supply is available at suffi,ciently high pre~sure. If the number of 'hours for which the
supply is available is less, t~ere will be large number of fittings in use
simultaneously and the rate of flow will be correspondingly large.
5.3.1 The data required for determining the size of the communication
. and service pipe are (a) the maximum rate of discharge required, ~b) the
length of the pipe, (c) the head loss by friction in that length, and (d) the
roughness of the interior surface or the pipe. In determining the head
loss by friction, allowance . shall be made for the elevation of the
intake works in relation to the available pressure in the water main and of
the losses in fittings; such as bends, stop-taps, meters Csee IS : 2951
( Part 2 )-1965tland any obstructions to the flow of water. As the pipe- .
line tends to accumulate internal incrustation in course of time, normally.
an average value for discharge co-efficient' C ' is assumed.
5.4 Discharge Computation
5.4.1 Several formulae, diagrams and tables of calculated values' ane.
available for the measurement of flow tllrtJUgA. pipes. However, almost:
all studies based on the Reynolds number of ~o:w, :pipe roughness> and fl'o:w!

pattern ( like turbulent) transient, laminar) yields accurate and mutually
consistent results Qvera very large range' of the flow compared to el'nperi- .
cal formulae which have limitations regarding' their range of applicability.
Although non-dimensional parameters are used, these rational formulae
based'on Raynolds number need information on viscosity and the calCulations are morc involved. To obviate. the involved calculations, a uhiversal
pipe friction diagram as prescribed in is: 2951 (Part 1 )-1965* and
IS : 2951 (Part 2 )-1965t may be followed.
5.4.2 Temperature of water and consequently its viscosity at a place is
an extremely variable factor, depending upon season and time. Further,
commercially available standard sizes of pipes are only to be used against
the size arrived at by actual design. Therefore, severa1emperical formulae
are used, even though they give less ,accurate results. The Hazen and
William formula and the charts based on the . same II].ay be used without
any risk of inaccuracy in view of the fact that the pipes normally to be
used for water supply are of smaller sizes. Nomogram of Hazen and
William's equation has been provided in Appendix C.
6. MATERIALS, FITTINGS AND AP~LlANCES
6.1' Standards for Materials, Fittings and Appllances- All materials
used in the construction of any of the works or any of the appliances
described in this code shall conform to the relevant Indian Standards where
available in .so far as these standards are applicable. Where no such
standards \exist, the materials shall be of the quality and workmanship
acceptable to the. Authority, and shall be9pen to inspection at the manufacturer's works before despatch.
6.2 Materials for Pipes - Pipes may be of any of the following_
materials:
a) Cast iron, vertically ::ast or centrifugally (spun) cast (see IS :
1536-1976t and IS: 15S7-1976;
.

6.2.1 In choosing the material for piping and fittings, account shall be
taken of the character of the water to be conveyed through it, the nature
of the ground in which the piping is to be laid and the relative cost as
compared with its useful life. The material shall be resistant to corrosion,
both. inside and outside or shall be suitably protected against corrosi6n~ .
6.2.2 Lead piping shall not be used to convey domestic water ~upply as
most of the waters in India are plumbo solvent and are liable t6 c., use lead
poisoning. Lead piping may, however, be used for flushing and ,)verfiow
pipes. It is liable to corrosion on contact with fresh cement mortar or
concrete and shall be protected by wrapping with a protective material
which will also permit movement due to expansion and contraction. .
6.2.3 Copper piping may be used particularly in hot water installations
provided water is not capable of dissol,?-ng an undue a!llount of copper.
6.2.4 Asbestos cement pipes may be used; however, adequate safeguards

6.2.6 Polythene pipes and PVC pipes should not be laid on hot surfaces
or in too close a proximity of hot water pipes. Care should also be taken
to avoid locations where they are likely to be exposed to atmospheres
charged with coal gas [see IS : 7634 (Part 2 )-1975t and IS : 7634 ( Part
3 )-1975t ].

7.2 Wholesome water supplt pr9vided for drinking and culinary purposes
shall not be liable to contamination from any less satisfactory water. There
shall, therefore, be no cross-connection whatsoever between a pipe or
fitting for conveying or containing Wholesome water and a pipe or fitting
for containing impure water or water liable to contamination or of uncertain quality or water which has been used for any purpose. The provision
of reflux or non-return valves or closed and sealed stop valves shall not
be construed as. a permissible substitute for complete absence of' crossconnection.
7.3 The design of the pipe work shall be such that there is no possibility
of backflow towards the source of supply from any cistern or appliance
whether/by siphonage or otherwise. Reflux or non-return valves shall npt
be relied upon to prevent such backflow.
7.4 Where a supply of wholesome watet' is required as an alternative or
stand-by to a supply ofless satisfactory water or is required to be mixed
with the latter, it shall,be deliyered only into a cistern, and by a pipe of
fitting discharging into the air gap at a height above the top edge of the
cistern equal to twice its nominal bore, and in no case less than 150 mm.
It is necessary to mafntain a definite air gap in all appliances Or taps used

7.5 All pipe work shall be so designed, laid or fixed, and maintained as to .
be and to remain completely watertight, thereby avoiding waste of water,
damage to property and the risk of contamination of the water conveyed.
7.6 No piping shall be laid or fixed so as to pass into, through or adjoining any sewer, scour outlet or drain or any manhole connected therewith
nor through any ash pit or manure pit or any material of such nature
that would be likely to cause undue deterioration of the pipe, except as .
permitted in 7.7.
7.6.1 Where lines have to be laid in close proximity to electric cables
or in corrosive soils, adequate precautions should be taken to avoid electrical accidents and corrosion.
7.7' Where the laying of any pipe through corrosive soil or pervious material is unavoidable, the piping shall be properly protected from contact
with such soil or material by being carried through an exterior cast iron
tube or by some other suitable means as approved by the Authority. Any
existing piping or fitting laid or fixed, which does not comply with the
above requirements, shall be removed immediately by the consumer and
relaid by him in conformity with the above requirements and to the
satisfaction of the Authority.
7.8 In designing and planning the layout of the pipe work, due attention
shall be given to the maximum rate of discharge, required economy in
labour and materials, protection against damage and corrosion, protection
from frost, if required, and to avoidance of airlocks, noise transmission and
unsightly arrangement.
7.9 To reduce frictional losses, piping shall be as smooth as possible -inside.
Methods of jointing shall be such as to avoid internal roughness and
projection at the joints, whether of the jointing materials or otherwise..
7.10 Change in diameter and in direction shall preferably be gradual
rather than abrupt to avoid undue loss of head. No bend or curve in
-piping shall be made which is -likely to materially diminish or alter the
cross-section.
.
7.11 Underground piping shall be laid at such a depth that it is unlikely
to be damaged by frost or traffic loads and vibrations. It shall not be laid
in ground liable to subsidence, but where such ground cannot be avoided,
special precautions shall be taken to avoid damage to the piping. Where
piping has to be laid across recently disturbed ground, the ground shall be
thoroughly consolidated so as to provide a continuous and even support.
7.12 No boiler for generating steam or closed boilers of any description or
any machinery shall. be supplied direct from a sef,vice. or supply pipe.
Every such boiler or machinery shall be supplied from a feed cistern.
15
16
IS : 2065 1983
8.1.8 Service pipes shall be designed so as to reduce the production and
transmission of noise as much as possible. Appliances which create noise
shall be installed as far distant as possible from the living' rooms of the
house and shall be housed in sound-proof cabins. The planning of the
building shall allow for such arrangements. High velocity of water in
piping and fittings shall be avoided. Piping shall be confined as far as
possible, to roomq where appliances are fixed; it shall have easy bends, and
where quietness is particularly desired, holder bats or clamps shall be
insulated from the piping by suitable pads.
8.1.9 The rising pipe to the storage cistern, if any, or any feed cistern
shall be taken as directly as possible to the cistern and shall be fixed away
from vvindows or ventilators.
8.1.10 Piping shall be so located that it is not unduly exposed to
accidental damage, ann shall be fixed in such positions as to facilitate
cleaning and avoid accumulations of dirt.
8.1.11 All pipe work shall be planned so that the piping is accessible for
inspection, replacement and repair. To avoid its being unsightly, it is
usually possible to arrange it in or adjacent to cupboards, recesses~ etc,
provided there is sufficient space to work on the piping with the usual
tools. Piping shall not be buried in walls or solid }loors. Where unavoidable
piping may be buried for short distances provided that adequate protection
is given against damage and that no joints are buried. If piping is laid
in ducts or chases, there shall be enough space to facilitate repairs and shall
be so constructed as to prevent the entry of vermin. To facilitate removal
of pipe casing, floor boards covering piping shall be fixed with screws or
bolts.
8.1.12 When it is necessary for a pipe to pass through a wali or floor,
a sleeve shall be fixed therein for reception of the pipe and to allow
freedom for expansion and contraction and other. movement. Piping laid
in timber floors shall, where possible, be parallel with the joists.
8.1.13 In buildings where it is desirable to have some means of identifying the use of the various pipes, they shall be painted in accordance with
Appendix D ( see also IS : 2379-1963* ).
17
IS : 2065 - 19M
8.2.1 No pipe for conveyance or in connection with water /itl.pplied by
the Authority shall communicate with any other receptacle used or ~apable
of being used for the conveyance other than water supplied by the
Authority.
.
8.2.2 Where storage tanks are provided no person shall connect or be
permitted to connect any service pipe with any distributing pipe.
8.2.3 No service pipe shall be connected to any water-closet or urinal.
All such supplies shall be from flushing cisterns which shall be supplied
from storage tank ( see 12.3 ).
8.2.4 No service or supply pipe shall be connected directly to any hotwater system or to any apparatus used for heating other than through a
feed cistern thereof. This shall also apply to every gas producer, gas
engine, compressor, aU engine, cooling jacket or other apparatus in or by
which water supplied by the Authority may be heated.
9. LAYING OF MAINS AND PIPES ON SITE
9.1 Excavation and Refilling - The bottoms of the trench excavations
shall be carefully prepared so that tlle barrels .01' the pipes, when laid, are
well bedded for their whole length on a firm surface and are true to line
and gradient. The width of the excavation shall be sufficient to allow the
pipes to be properly laid and jointed, joints holes being made where
necessary.
9.1.1 In the refilling of the trenches, the pipes shall be surrounded with
fine selected material, well rammed so as to resist subsequent movement
of the pipes. No stones shall- be in contact with the pipes, and when the
excavation is in rock, the bottom shall be cut deep enough to permit the
pipes to be bedded on alayer of fine selected material, or ( especially where
there is a steep gradient) on a layer of concrete.
9.2 Preparing Pipes for Laying Underground - The pipes shall be
carefully cleared of all foreign matter before being laid. They shall be
thoroughly brushed out internally with a well-fitting hard brush, and after
laying the open end shall be temporarily plugged to prevent ingress of
water, soil, etc, precaution shall be taken to prevent floatatioll of the
plugged pipes, should the trench become flooded.
9.2.1 Any coating, sheathing or wrapping of the pipes shall be examined for damage and repaired, where necessary, and shall also be made
continuous over the joints.
9.2.2 Concrete Pipes and Cast Iron Pipes - Pipes should be laid in
accordance with the requirements given in IS : 783-1959* and IS : 31141965t, respectively.
*Code of practice for laying of concrete pipes.

18
IS : 2065 - 1983
9.3 Laying Underground Mains - Where the trench is on a slope,
pipe laying shall proceed in an 'uphill' direction to facilitate ioint
making.
9.3.1 Except in the case of small pipes under low pressure, thrust blocks
of concrete shall be formed at all bends to transmit the hydraulic thrust'
on to undisturbed ground and to spread it over a sufficient area. Where:
the hydraulic thrust is in an upward direction, anchor-blocks of sufficient
weight shall be provided to which the pipes shall be secured with steel
straps. The displacing forces in the mains due to end anrl r~dial thrust
on bends are given in Appendix E.
9.4 Surface Boxes - Iron surface boxes shall be provided to give access
to valves ( see IS : 3950-1979* ) and hydrants, and shall be supported on
.. concrete or brickwork which shall not be allowed to rest on the pipes and
transmit traffic loads to them, allowance being made for setttlement<,
Vertical iron guard pipes may be provided to enclose the spindles of sluice,
valves. It is not generally necessary entirely to enclose the valves and
hydrants in brick or concrete chambers, but if the latter are provided they
shall be of sufficient dimensions to permit repairs being carried out to the
fittings.
9.4.1 If the surface box, mounted on a guard pipe, is fixed over the
underground stop valve merely to give access for operating the latter, the
limited space provided by this arrangement will not permit the repacking
of the stop valves gland or other repairs to be carried out with excavation.
The guard pipe may be supported on bricks, and should not rest on the
supply pipe.
9.5 Meters - If the service pipe is to be metered, the meter may be
provided and fixed by the Authority. Private meter of approved type may
be permitted to be used subject to such conditions as the Authority may
prescribe. Meters of domestic .type shall conform to the requirements of
IS : 779-1978t. Meters of bulk type shall conform to the requirements of
IS: 2373-1981:1:. The meter shall be installed in accordance with IS: 24011973. The meter shall be fitted beyond the stopcock with unions to
facilitate the necessary' periodic changing of the meter. If fitted in an
exposed position outside the building, the meter shall be housed in'
water meter boxes conforming to IS: 2104-198111.

9.6 Laying Service Pipes - Service pipes of less than 50 mm bore may
be connected to mains by means of right-angled screw-~own ferrule 0 f nonferrous metal conforming to IS: 2692-1978*, but the ferrule itself shall not
be more than 25 mm bore. Ferrule of 20 mm bore and above shall not be
used inmains of less than 100 mm bore. The main is drilled and tapped
and the ferrule screwed in. IIi case of large-sized trunk mains, this
may be done by a tapping under pressure machine, which will obviate any
interference with the use of the main.

IS : 2065 1983.
9.6.4 The service pipe shall pass into or beneath the building 'at a
depth below the external ground level of not less than 0'75 m (provided
the foundation is deeper than 0'75 m ) and at its point of entry through
the structure should be accommodated in a sleeve which should have
previously been solidly built in. The space between the pipe and the sleeve
shall be filled with bituminous or other suitable material for a minimum
length of 15 em at both ends.
9.6.5 Care shall be taken to ensure that before the pipeline is charged
all piping and fittings are clean internally, and free from particles of sand
or soil, metal fittings, chips, etc, which besides causing obstructiori's may;
lead to failure bycorrosion.
9.7 Securing and Supportnng of Pipes ,---- Lead piping of not more
than 25 mm bore, in vertical runs, may be secured direct to brick walls
( other than external walls) by iron pipe clamps driven into the wall joints,
or may be secured to wooden battens or other wood work by iron or brass
c1ips with ears for screw fixing, the clamps or clips or holder bats being Ctt
not more than 90 em intervals. Damage to the piping by the clamps
shall be prevented by the insertion of small lead pads.
9.7.1 Copper piping shall be secured by copper or copper-alloy clips
direct to wood work, or by similar bracket-clips built-in to walls cir screwed
to plugs.
.
9.7.2 Wrought iron and steel piping shall be secuted in a manner simil~r
to that used for copper piping, except that the clips shall be of iron or steel.
. 9.7.3 Plastic pipes should be secured and suppored in accordance with
the recommendations given in lS : 763:4 ( Part 2 )-1975* and IS: 7634
( Part 3 )-1975*.
.
.
9~8 Pipes Laid Througb Ducts, Chases, Notches or Holes -
Ducts
or chases in walls for piping shall be provided during the building of the
wall!3. If they are cut in existing walls, they shall be finished sufficier!~ly
smooth and large enough for fixing the piping. In the case of lead pipes,
the joints may be wiped outside the duct, and the pipes eased back into th!"
duct after jointing.
9.S.1 Wherever possible . back~boards shall be provided ill chases for
fixing the piping; otherwise lead piping shall be protected from contact
with lime or cement by building paper or felt. Where covers are provided
to chases, they shall be fixed with screws for easy removal.

of sterilized spun yarn may be used. Threaded lead or lead wire or strip
may be used instead of spun yarn, thus producing a solid lead joint.
Lead covered yarn may also be used which does not hil.Ve the disadvantages of plain yarn. Cold lead may be caulked into the joint space first
followed by spun yarn, and the joint then completed with cold or molten
lead.
10.1.1.1 Rubber ring joints may also be suitable wherever there is a
provision for them in the spigot made by the manufacturer.
10.1.2 Caulking may be done with pneumatic tools or with a hand
hammer weighing not less than 2 kg. When working with lead wool, it
is very important to use caulking tools of appropriate thickness to fill the
joint space, and to thoroughly consolidate the material from the back to
the front of the socket. Lead run joints shall be preferably finished 3 mm
behind the socket face.
NOTE-Attention is also drawn to IS: 3114-1965* for jointing of cast iron
pipes, quantity of lead and spun iron for different sizes of pipes, etc.
10.1.3 Cast iron pipes may also be jointed by means of flanges .of cast
iron and steel pipes with flanges welded-on.
10.1.4 Flanged joints shall. be made with jointing rings of good quality,
smo&th, hard, compressed fibre board (not less than l' 5 mm thick ) and
of such width as to fit inside the circle of bolts. The rings shall be
smeared thinly with graphite paste. Alternatively, the jointing rings may
be of rubber or rubber insertion or gutta-percha, or may be corrugated
non-corrosive alloy together with a suitable jointing paste. The nuts shlj.ll
be carefully tightened, in opposite pairs, until the joint ring is only just
sufficiently compressed between the flanges to ensure watertightness of the
joint under the desired water pressure.
10.1.5 Several proprietary flexible joints are available for jointing cast
iron pipes and these may be used with the specific approval of the Authority. However, they shall be used strictly in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
10.1.6 For joints. in small diameter wrought iron or steel piping and
cast iron piping, copper-alloy screwed unions or ferrules shall be used and
for large diameters, the joints shall be made by flanged ,connecting pieces.
10.2 Welded Steel Pipes - Plain-ended steel piping may be jointed by
welding except where the piping is .provid~d with a lining which would be
damaged by heat ( see IS : 5822-1970t).
10.3 Wrought Iron and SteelScrewed Pipes - Screwed wrought iron
or steel piping is jointed with screwed and socketed joints, using screwing

fittings of wrought iron, steer' or malleable cast iron. Care shan be 1:aken
to remove any burr from the ends of pipes after screwing. A jointing
compound, which may be one of the many proprietary makes, may be used
according to the maker's instructiops together with a grummet of a few
strands of fine yarn, but compounds containing red lead shall not be used
because of the danger of contamination of the water. Any threads exposed
after jointing shall be painted, or in the case of underground, piping,
thickly coated with bituminous or other suitable composition to prevent
corrt'lllion.
10.3.1 Screwed wrought iron or steel piping may also be jointed with
screwed flanges of wrought iron, steel or cast iron.
10.4 Asbestos Cement Pipes - Asbestos cement pipes are jointed with
fleltible joints supplied by the pipe makers.
10.5 Copper. Pipe~ ~. ~crewed copper piping shall be jointed with
screwed copper-alloy fittings. The screw threads of the pipe shall. be
cleaned out and the joint made by screwing the fittings on after first treating
the threads with raw linseed oil or other suitable jointing compound.
Alternatively, the screw threads of the pipe and the fittings may be tinned,
and the joint heated to the melting point of the solder when bt;:ing
screwed.
10.5.1 Plain copper piping shall be jointed with compression ( manipulative or non-manipulative) or with capillary joints, in each case using
copper-alloy fittings, or by welding. Only manipulative compression
joints, that is, joints in which the pipe ends are flanged, belled or swaged,
are suitable for use with fully annealed copper piping.
10.5.2 In the case of the capillary joint, the pipe end and the interior
of the socket of the fitting shall be cleaned with steel wool, fluxed, and
fitted together, and the joint then heated to just above the melting point
of the solder, which is either provided in the fitting or is touched into the
joint with a solder stick, and which then flows by capillarity to fill the joint
space. If the pipe is of fully annealed copper, its ends shall be made truly
round before jointing.
10.5.3 It is important that the correct size of fittings is used to suit the
nominal size of the pipe,
'
10.5.4 Copper pip~ng may be autogenous welded or bronze welded, the
latter giving the stronger joiilt. The piping may be jointed directly or by
the use of weldable copper or copper alloy fittings. The welding may be
done by an oxy-acetylene blow pipe, using filler rod of copper or bronze and
a suitable flux. Bronze rod shall be genuine bronze which is hot likely to
fall by dezincification. Copper piping may be welded to cast brass fittings
by this method. Copper to be welded shall be 'deoxidized copper' and

Ilqu.are. the thickness of sheet varying according to the depth of the tank.
Tanks with external flanges are 'most convenient except where space is
limited or where it is required to erect them direct on to a flat roof or
floor. Where special sizes of tanks are n.ecessary, these are provided for
by the use of the special making-up plates allowing considerable variation
in size. If of iron or steel, the metal shall be galvanized 'or coated internally with bituminous composition or other suitable material of a kind
which does not impart a taste or odour to the water, especially if this has
been chlorinated, and externally with a good quality anti-corrosive,
weather-resisting paint. Lead lined tanks- shall not be used. Rectangular
pressed steel tanks shall conform to the requirements given in IS : 8041967*.
11.3 Storage Tanks and, Ball Valves -Every storage tank shall be of
the prescribed kind and shall at all times be made and at all times be
maintained watertight and shall be properly covered with a closed, fitting
dust, light and mosquito-pro.of lid fitted with a lock and key and shall be
provided with a ,sound and suitable ball valve conforming to IS: 17031977t securely fixed to the ~ank and set'in such a position that the body of
the b?-ll valve cannot becO:Qle stlbmerged when the, cistern is full up to the
water line. Every valve shall be so adjusted as to limit the level of the
water in the cistern to 25 mm below the lip of the warning or overflow
pipe. A stop valve conforming to IS : 781-1977t shall be provided as
near the tank as practicable on every outlet pipe from a storage tank,
excepting on the warning pipe.
11.4 Warning Pipes of Storage Tanks - Every tank shall be
provided with an efficient mosquito-proof warning pipe. The outlet of
the warning pipe shall be in such a position outside th~ building as will
allow the discharge of water from such warning pipe bein.g readily seen.
The position of the warning pipe shall not be changed except with the
permission of the Author,ity. The outlet of the warning pipe shall be not
less than 60 em ,above any drain, sink or gully over which ~he' same may
be fixed. No overflow pipe shall' be allowed to be conrtected directly to
any drain or sewer, nor 'shall it discharge on to any street. All warning
pipe unions shall be not Jess than 20mm in bore so fuced that the bottom
of the pipe will be 25 :mm above the top water level. In every storage
vessel, the water line shall beset below the overflowing level of the warning
pipe" or of the overflow pipe if there is po warning pipe, at a distance of
not less than 25mm or of not less than the internal diameter of the pipe,
whichever is greater.

11.5 Provision of Stop Valves - Storage tanks shall be provided witha
stop valve or stop tap at every outlet other 'than overflow pipes, so that
there shall be no necessity to empty the vessel to enable repairs to be
carried out to the downtake pipes, fittings, etc. Such valves or taps shall
preferably be full-way gate valves so as not to impose any undue obstruction of the flow of the water. A stop valves.shal115e provided on the'inlet
connection also to facilitate stopping of flow temporarily in the event of
improper functioning of ball valve or for cleaning of storage tank.
U.6 Position of Storage of Tanks - Every storage tank used or fixed
in connection with the water supplied by the Authority shall be easily
accessible and placed in such position as to admit of thorough inspection
and cleaning, and if placed yvithin the house or building, it shall have a
clear space of not less than 60 em between the top of the cistern and
ceiling, rafter or roof. If the capacity of tank is bigger than 500 litres, a
greater clear space shall be provided.
11.6.1 In cases where overhead storage tanks ate supported on roof slab
of the building, careful inspection and calculation shall be carried out to
ascertain whether the structure of the building is of sufficient strength to
take the increased load. The tanks shall be preferably supported on
bearers so as to distribute the load. The weight of the tank, and its
contents of water shall be calculated and taken into accou,nt in the design
of bearers and supports. Where bearers are used as supports, the height
shall not be less than 200 mm clear space.
11.7 Grouping of Storage Tanks - If the storage required is more than
5 000 1, it is advantageous to arrange it in a series of tanks or in compartments so inter-connected that each can be isolated for cleaning and
"ins pection without interfering with the supply of water. This can conveniently be done by the use of a header pipe to which each tank/compartment is connected and from which the distributing pipes branch off, each
branch into and out of the header pipe being provided with a stop valve.
Each tank/compartment shall have its own fioa!-operated valve and overflow pipe, and a draining valve to facilitate cleaning out. It is often
convenient, even in small installations, to provide' two tanks coupled
together in this way. 'In large storage tanks, the outlet shall be at'the end
opposite the inlet, to avoid stagnation of the water. In high rise buildings,
storage tanks may be placed in different ti~rs to ensure more equitable
. pressure distribution of water.
11.8 Proivision of Outlets - The outlet pipe shall be fixed 50 to 75 mm
above the bottom of the tank and provided preferably with copper gauge
strainers. The wash-out or draining pipe shall be made flush at the bottom
of the tank at its lowest point. The floor of the tank shall be erected so
as to give a slight fall to the wash-out pipe for cleaning purposes.

13. CLEANING AND DISINFECTION OF THE SUPPLY SYSTEM
..13.~ All water mains, communication pipes, service and distribution pipes
used for water for domestic purposes should be thoroughly and efficiently
disinfected before being taken into use and also after every majorrepaiI'.
The method of disinfection shall be subject to the approval of the Aut40rity. They shall also be periodically cleaned at intervals. depen4ihg 'upon
the quality of water and the treatment it receives before use. It is,
however, desirable that the communication pipes and the storage cisterns
are thoroughly. cleaned at least once ew:,ry year in order to remove any
suspended impurities that may have settled in the pipes or the tanks.
13.2 Disinfection of Storage Tanks and Downtake Distribution
Pipes - Storage tanks and downtake distribution pipes shall be disinfected
as follows:
The storage tanks and pipes shall first be filled with water a,nd
thoroughly flushed out. The storage tanks shall then be filled with water
again and disinfecting chemical containing chlorine added gradually wnile
the tanks are being filled, to ensure thorough mixing. Sufficient chemical
shall be used to give the water a dose .of 50 parts of chlorine to' one million
parts of water. If ordinary bleaching powder is used, the proportion will be 150 g of powder to 1 000 l of water. The powder shall
be ~ed with water to a creamy consistency before being added to the
water in the storage tank. If a proprietary brand of chemical is used, the
proportions shall be as specified by the makers. When the storage tank is
full, the supply shall be stopped and all the taps on the distributing pipes
opened successively, working progressively away from the storage tank.
Each tap shall be closed when the \yater discharge ,begins to smell of
chlorine. The storage tank shall then be topped up with water from the
'supply pipe and .with more disinfecting chemical in' the recommended
.
--------~.------

proportions. The storage tank and pipe shall then remain charged at
least for three hours. Finally the tank and pipes shall be thoro1lghly
flushed out before any water is used for domestic purposes.

air to escape and avoiding all shock or water hammer. The service shall
then be inspected under working conditions of pressure and flow. When
all draw-off taps are closed, the service pipe shall be absolutely watertight.
All piping, fittings and appliances shall be checked over for satisfactory
support, and protection from damage, corrosion and frost. Because of
the possibility of damage in transit, cisterns shall be re-tested for water
tightness on arrival on the site, before fixing.
15. MAINTENANCE
15.1 Storage tanks shall be regularly inspected and shall be cleaned out if
necessary. Tanks showing signs of corrosion shall be emptied, thoroughly
wire-brushed to remove loose material (but not scrapped), Cleaned and
coated with anti-corrosive paint of inert composition not liable to impart
taste or odour or otherwise contaminate the water. Before cleaning the
cistern, the outlet shall be plugged to prevent debris entering the pipe.
The tank shaH be examined for corrosion and water tightness after
cleaning.
15.2 Record drawings showing pipe layout and valve positions shall be kept
up to date and inspection undertaken to ensure that any maintenance
work has not introduced cross-connections or any other undesirable
feature.
.
15.3 Any temporazy attachment fixed to a tap or outlet shall never be left
in such a position that back-siphonage of polluted water into the supply
system may occur.
15.4 All valves shall be periodically operated to maintain free movement
. of the working parts.
15.5 All taps and ball valves shall be inspected for water tightness; glands
shall be made good; washers shall be replaced and machanism of spring
operated taps and ball valves shall be repaired where required.
15.6 All overflow pipes shan be examined and kept free from obstructions.
