Pipe joints limit infiltration
City engineers in Muskegon, Mich, designed sanitary sewer trunk that would be placed in area having high water table; limiting infiltration was most important; this was accomplished through use of rubber O-ring joint gaskets, and good construction and inspection procedures; tests on completed line show infiltration to be between 14.5 and 55.7% of maximum allowable rate of 200 gal/in. of internal diameter per mile of pipe per day; much of this infiltration took place at precast manhole joints, which did not have rubber O-ring joint specified.
