<br />shall be arranged so that the sewer joints and water joints will be
<br />equidistant from the point of crossing with no less than 10 feet between

<br />maintained, the sewer shall be placed in a sleeve of encased concrete
<br />for 20 feet centered on the point of crossing.

<br />mains, the pipes shall be centered at the crossing as indicated above,

<br />a) GRAVITY SEWERS* shall be installed at least 10 feet horizontally
<br />from any existing or proposed water main. The distance shall be
<br />measured edge to edge. In cases where it is not practical to maintain a
<br />10-ft. separation, the water main shall be installed in a separate trench
<br />or on an undisturbed earthen shelf located on one side of the sewer and
<br />at an elevation so that the bottom of the water main is at least 18 inches
