INSPECTION AND TESTING

The following tests shall apply:

ALIGNMENT AND DEFLECTION TESTS

The alignment test is to make sure the pipe is laid on grade. The deflection test is to ensure that the pipe is not collapsed.

o LIGHT TEST (FOR TESTING ALIGNMENT)

The light test is a check to see that the pipe is properly aligned and not collapsed. The procedure for doing the test is to shine a light into the pipe at a manhole and look into the pipe at the next manhole. If one sees a f i l l circle of light then the test is passed and further testing for alignment is not required.

MANDREL TEST (FOR TESTING DEFLECTION)

A mandrel test will be required for testing all gravity plastic sewer pipe. The mandrel will check for deflected pipe. A mandrel is a rigid round object with a diameter of 95 percent of the inside diameter of the pipe. The mandrel test is accomplished by manually pulling the mandrel through the pipe. Mechanical pulling is not allowed. If the mandrel passes through without resistance then the pipe has passed the test. If the mandrel appears to have passed through a puddle of water further investigation needs to be done to find the low place(s).

INFILTRATION AND EXFILTRATION TESTS

If the pipe is below the water table this check is to ensure that ground water will not infiltrate the line. If the pipe is above the water table this check is to make sure that sewer does not leak out of the pipe.

o LOW PRESSURE AIR TEST

The low pressure air test is performed using the following procedure:

1. Plug both ends of a sewer line using pneumatic plugs. Make sure the plugs are securely blocked. The plug at one end shall have an orifice to allow air to pass into the pipe. The same plug shall have an accurate air gauge having a range of 0 to 10 PSI with minimum divisions o f . 10 PSI.

2 . Air pressure shall be slowly introduced into the section of the line being tested until the air pressure in the line is 4.0 PSI. A minimum of two minutes shall be provided to allow the air pressure to stabilize within the pipe. Air may be slowly added or subtracted to maintain the 4.0 PSI pressure.

3. After the two minute stabilization period, adjust the pressure to exactly 3.5 PSI. Start the stopwatch. When and if the pressure reaches 3.0 PSI stop the stopwatch. The portion of the line shall pass if the time for the pressure to go from 3.5 to 3.0 PSI is equal to or greater than the time shown on the following table. If the time for the pressure to go from 3.5 to 3.0 PSI is less than the time shown on the following table, then further infiltration/exfiltration testing shall be required on the pipe.

Public Service Commission of West Virginia Rules and Regulations for the Government of Sewer Utilities 150 CSR 5

Rule 5.5. Extension of system.

8150-5-5. Utility Facilities; Service Pipes; Extension of System.

5.5. Extension of mains to serve new customers.

5.5.a. A sewer utility, whether publicly or privately owned, is under a public service obligation to extend its mains, and its plant and facilities to serve new customers within its service area who may apply for service.

5.5.b. Extensions shall be made in all cases in which the public convenience and necessity require the service, construction problems are not unusual or burdensome, and the extensions appear to be economically feasible.

5.5.c. For any proposed extension of mains, a reasonable relationship should exist between the per customer investment to serve new customers and the per customer investment to serve old customers.

5.5.d. Every effort shall be made by a utility to install its main line in the public road right-of- way or in a utility right-of-way abutting the public road right-of-way.

5.5.e. Extension for general sewer service.

1. The utility will respond to all inquiries regarding new sewer service, whether oral or written, by explaining all available options for obtaining service under these rules.

2. The utility will, upon written request for service in the form of Sewer Form No. 4, by a prospective customer or group of prospective customers located in the same neighborhood, determine the necessary size of main required to give service and make an estimate of the cost of providing the requested service, using the form of Sewer Form No. 5 , including pipe, valves, manholes, fittings, necessary materials, permits, labor costs incurred by the utility when the utility externally contracts for the construction of the extension, or internal labor costs, provided such internal or external costs are not recovered in existing rates, and other applicable related costs. When a road crossing(s) is (are) necessary to serve the customer(s) requesting service, the cost estimate shall not include costs attributable to extending the main across the first road (closest to the already existing main), but shall include the costs of installing the main across a second and any subsequent road(s). The written estimate calculated using Sewer Form No. 5 shall be provided to the customer in the form of Sewer Form No. 6, no more than forty-five (45) days from the receipt by the utility of the written request for service. The written estimate shall include an estimated construction start date and an estimated time of construction. If the prospective customer believes that any part of the estimate is unreasonable, the customer is free to pursue an informal request for assistance from the Commission staff or to file a formal complaint with the Commission. Further, the utility and the customer shall execute a Main Line Extension Agreement. Commission Staff may be consulted to provide assistance and sample forms. The agreement must include as an attachment a copy of this extension rule. The utility shall keep an executed copy of the agreement for at least six (6) years. The length of the extension required shall be that length required to extend from the new proposed service area to the nearest point of connection to the utility system having sufficient excess capacity to

Double Eagle Subdivision AMLEA May 4. 2009

Page 21: OF THE CITY OF CHARLESTON WEST VIRGINIA

provide service at maximum demand.

3. Whenever the utility is required to extend service from an existing main to property that does not imniediately abut the utility's right-of-way or the public road that contains the utility main, the extension shall be considered a main extension and the cost responsibility shall be detemiined under Rule 5.5.e.

4. Where the cost of the extension does not exceed the estimated total net revenue as calculated below, from prospective customers whose service pipes will immediately be connected directly to the extension and from whom the utility has received applications for service upon forms provided by the utility for this purpose, the utility will install, at its own cost and expense, the necessary extension; provided, that the patronage or demand will be of such permanency as to warrant the capital expenditure involved.

A. Net revenue shall be gross revenue minus the excess usage leak adjustment rate approved for the utility, and with this difference further reduced for any revenue based taxes.

B. Revenue shall be based on 4,500 gallons per month per residential unit, unless circumstances of the applicant show this would result in significant error. For non-residential units, annual revenue shall be based on typical consumption for comparable units published by the American Water Works Association.

C. Estimated total net revenue for private, for profit, utilities will be calculated as six (6) times estimated net annual revenue. Each such utility shall file for a utility-specific line extension multiplier within twelve (12) months of the effective date of these rules.

D. The utility-specific line extension multiplier for private, for profit, utilities shall be based 011 one (1) divided by the utility's net fixed charge rate. The net fixed charge rate shall equal the total of the utility's weighted cost of capital, applicable income tax rates, and the Coininission approved depreciation accrual rate.

E. Estimated total net revenue for associations, municipal, and public service district utilities will be calculated as five (5) times estimated net annual revenue. If the excess leak adjustment calculated for the utility fails to include all of the incremental costs of serving a new customer that should properly be netted out from the total revenues of the utility, the utility may apply to the Commission for a determination of the proper amount to be deducted from gross revenues to arrive at an appropriate determination of net revenue.

5.5.f. Extensions beyond the limit of utility-financed extensions of general sewer service.

1. If the estimated cost of the proposed extension required in order to furnish general sewer service exceeds the utility's estimate of total net revenue as determined by Rule 5.5.e.4., such extension shall be made if the applicant or the applicant's authorized agent contracts for such extension and deposits in advance with the utility the estimated cost of the extension over and above the limit of the utility- funded portion of the extension. The utility shall not pay nor be liable for any interest on such cash deposits. The utility shall make the extension after receiving the cash deposit. The utility shall, for each bona fide new customer who, within a period of ten (1 0) years from the making of such extension, directly connects to the extension between its original beginning and original terminus refund to the original depositor(s), an amount equal to the estimated total net revenue of the new customer as determined by Rule 5.5.e.4., but in no event shall the aggregate refund made to the depositors exceed the original deposit. Provided, however, that associations, public service districts and municipal sewer

Page 22: OF THE CITY OF CHARLESTON WEST VIRGINIA

utilities may elect to refund the estimated amount over a period of five (5) years making payments 110 less frequently than every six (6) months.

5.5.g. Alternate Depositor-Financed Extension Plan.

1. Qualifying utilities -- The above requirements notwithstanding, the utility may decline to finance the portion of a requested extension that would be utility-funded, if it can demonstrate that it has no prospect of any reasonable internal or external financing through commercial loans, grants, or through an installment arrangement with an entity installing the extension or providing the necessary materials.

A. If the utility declines to finance the portion of a requested extension that would be the financial responsibility of the utility, the utility shall file for a waiver of the extension rule within sixty (60) days of the written request.

B. Before filing for a waiver, the utility must first make an estimate of the extension costs.

C. A request for a waiver by a utility shall be accompanied by supporting documentation justifying its request.

D. If the Commission finds that the utility has reasonably declined to finance the portion of the requested extension that would otherwise be utility-funded, the Cominission shall authorize the use of the alternate depositor-financed extension plan as described below.

2. Description of alternate depositor-financed extension plan -- Under the alternate depositor-financed extension plan, the utility shall make the extension after:

A. receiving a cash deposit equal to the full amount of the extension cost; and

B. agreeing to give the depositor(s), who is a customer, a monthly bill credit totaling one hundred percent (100%) of the actual net bill(s) from the date service is initiated and until the total credits given equal the estimated total net revenue as defined in Rule 5.5.e.4; and

C. agreeing to refund to the original depositor(s) an amount equal to estimated total net revenue as defined in Rule 5.5.e.4. of each bona fide customer, other than the depositor(s), who, within a period of ten (10) years from the construction of the extension, directly connects to the extension between its original beginning and the original terminus. The refund may be spread out over a five (5) year period with the utility making payments no less frequently than every six (6) months. Such refunds shall continue until the total refunds given equal the estimated total net revenue as defined in Rule 5.5.e.4.

3. In no event shall the total refund made to the depositor(s) under Rule 5.5.g.2.C. exceed the original deposit of the depositor(s).

4. The utility shall not pay nor be liable for any interest on the cash deposits associated with line extensions.

5.5.h. General provisions.

1 . Should the actual cost of the extension be less than the estimated cost, the utility will refund the difference as soon as the actual cost has been ascertained, but in no event longer than ninety (90) days after completion of construction of the extension. When the actual cost of the extension exceeds

Double Eagle SubdiMori AMLEA May 4,2009

Page 23: OF THE CITY OF CHARLESTON WEST VIRGINIA

the estimate cost, then the utility will bill the depositor for the difference between the estimated and the actual cost. The customer may pay this additional amount in installments. No interest will be paid by the utility on the applicant's payment or on any balance to be refunded.

2. In estimating the cost of an extension, the estimate shall be based on the diameter of the pipe to be used; provided, that the estimated cost to the customer or customers shall not be based on a pipe diameter greater than the diameter of the main from which the extension is to be made, unless actual use estimated for the proposed customer or customers required a larger pipe.

3. Extensions made under this rule shall be and remain the property of the utility,

4. The utility reserves the right to further extend its sewer mains from and beyond the extension made under this rule, and the depositor or the depositor's agent paying for an extension shall not be entitled to any refund for the attaching of customers to such further extension or branch mains so installed.

5 . In determining the length of main extensions or of sewer line to be installed in an urban area when land is subdivided in lots, the main, or sewer line (if installed by an entity other than a utility), shall be extended to fully cover the frontage of the property and if the last lot to be served is a comer lot, the terminal point of the extension made hereunder shall be located so that the sewer line ties in with the intersecting street; and further; provided that if there is no main located in the intersecting street, the terminal point of the extension shall be located at the nearest street line of the intersecting street. In rural areas or open land areas, the extension required will be that length necessary to adequately serve the applicant.

6 . Before sewer lines will be laid in any new subdivision, the road surface shall be brought to the established sub-grade as determined by the agency having jurisdiction.

7 . This rule shall not be construed as prohibiting the utility from entering into an agreement with a customer that complies with the Commission approved checklist attached hereto as Sewer Form No. 7 , in providing an alternate plan for a main extension. Commission Staff may be consulted to provide assistance and sample forms. In providing an alternate plan for main extensions a utility may not discriminate between customers whose service requirements are similar. The agreement shall be filed with and approved by the Commission prior to the implementation or execution of the agreement by any of the parties. The agreement shall include the name, address and phone number of the parties to the agreement. The agreement shall also include a provision explaining why the utility is not funding the extension. The agreement must attach a copy of this Rule 5.5 . , and a statement signed by the prospective customer that he has reviewed and understands the provisions of Rule 5.5.f. which entitle a customer to refunds and that he knowingly waives such rights, if applicable. Failure to obtain Commission approval will result in the loss of the right to obtain reimbursement from the utility. If an entity other than the utility constructs the extension, upon completion of construction and proper utility inspection of the extension, the utility shall initiate service only after proper transfer of title to all facilities including property, plant and rights-of-way incidental to the furnishing of utility service.

8. Contract for service -- The utility shall not be required to make utility-funded extensions or refunds as described in this rule unless those to be served by such extensions shall guarantee to the utility that they will take the service at their premises within thirty (30) days after service is available or as otherwise mutually agreed in a user's agreement.

9. Construction conditions -- Construction of line extensions, as provided in this rule, will be undertaken promptly after all applications have been completed, necessary right-of-way agreements or

Double Eagle Subdivisioii AMLEA May4. 2009

Page 24: OF THE CITY OF CHARLESTON WEST VIRGINIA

rights of entry have been delivered to the utility, and all prospective customers have signed contracts.

10. Right-of-way.

A. If the construction of an extension involves the acquisition of a private right-of-way, then the prospective customer shall attempt to secure the right-of-way and deliver it to the utility free of cost before construction of the extension is started.

B. If, however, it is not reasonably possible for the prospective customer or customers to secure the right-of-way, and the construction of an extension involves the utility's incurring expense for right-of-way easements, either by purchase or condemnation, such costs shall be added to the total cost of the extension.

C. As a condition to obtaining a main extension, any property owner or developer shall grant the utility the necessary easements which would allow the utility to make future extensions into unserved areas. The granting of the necessary easements shall be made without the utility being required to pay additional consideration for the additional easements to the property owner or developer. If the property owner or developer is unwilling to grant the additional easements, the utility shall not be required to extend its main to serve the property owner or developer.

1 1. Upon the proper filing of a Tariff Rule 42A, 42T, or 19A rate case by the utility, the utility may seek an impact fee to be assessed against customers.
