unauthorized connection is discovered, any device used as part of the
unauthorized connection may be confiscated by the Authority. Should a
responsible person be found at the unauthorized connection, they will be

3.4 CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION
3.4.1 GENERAL INSPECTION
Routine, unscheduled inspection of on-going projects will be made
periodically during construction by an Authority inspector. Authority
inspectors will perform periodic checks during construction to ensure that
the contractor is complying fully with the permitted project design,
specifications, and policies and procedures of the Authority. Any
deviation or revision to the approved engineering plans must be brought to
the attention of the Authority's Inspector. Any deviations considered
major by the Authority Inspector must then be submitted in writing with a
revised plan to the New Services Department for approval. No deviations
or revisions shall be initiated by the contractor until the Authority has
approved the change(s) in writing. At the option of the Authority, full
time inspection by the Authority's inspector or the Engineer's inspector
may be required. The developer will be responsible for any related
increased costs connected with full time inspection by the Authority or
Engineer’s Inspectors.
3.4.2 STOP WORK ORDER
Failure to adhere to the approved plans and/or specifications established
for the construction of a project or adherence to applicable requirements of
the Authority may warrant issuance of a Stop Work Order. Copies of the
Stop Work Order will be sent to the developer, engineer, and contractor.
Approval to restart construction shall be issued once all noted
discrepancies have been corrected or procedures to make such corrections
have been approved. Any construction performed by a contractor while
under Stop Work Order will be considered unacceptable by the Authority.
3.4.3 SPECIFIC SYSTEM MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
General:
The project engineer shall provide a weekly inspection report(s) to the
Authority’s assigned inspector on each individual active project. For
purposes of this requirement, a project shall be considered active for the
period between the pre-construction meeting and final acceptance for O &
M by the Authority.
