Waterline Cover
Waterline Cover
(OP)
I am trying to locate a map showing the minimum depth of cover for a waterline in the NE; particularly NY. Any information would be helpful.
Thank you

RE: Waterline Cover
That being said, I think many utilities, perhaps based on practice or experience, do in general like to get most extants of their uninsulated pipelines at least down assuredly below the "frost line", and I believe you can probably confirm this by looking at/pulling up some local city utility specs e.g. online and compare these to geographical frost depth maps (similar to a topo map) with a good search engine or other references. I think frozen and other expansive soil conditions, as well as surface loads and impacts, can exert great forces on pipelines, and pipe strength, damage resistance and ductility may be particularly important for these and perhaps other reasons when piplines must be buried more shallow than normal.
