The new 6 trunk line shall be replaced back to the water main located around campus. Typical C900 pipe is located three feet from all building are 6 or higher in diameter piping. The 6 pipe is reduced to 4 as it enters each building. Exception of this condition can be found at B42 and B42 where pipe is 6 to 8 ductile iron piping.
