Water Service Installation Requirements 

Backflow devices must be inspected and approved by CBU prior to backfilling. 

Water lines must be inspected by Deschutes County and meet all Uniform Plumbing Codes. 

Note: Any Line buried under a drive way or side walk must be ran through a conduit at least two times the 

diameter of the buried line. 

STANDARD RESIDENTIAL WATER SERVICE 

NO TEMPORARY WATER SERVICE IS ALLOWED BEFORE METER AND BACKFLOW 

DEVICE INSTALLATION! 

A. Water service will be provided by CBU upon completion of the service request form and 

payment of hook-up fees. 

B. Following proper installation of an Oregon Health Authority approved backflow device (min 

1”), the device must be tested by a State Certified tester. A copy of the passing test report 

must be provided to CBU before water service will be provided. CBU has testers on staff 

to provide this service. (See CBSO4 for installation information page 6) 

C. Backflow testers must be registered with the State of Oregon and the CBU office. 

D. Backflow devices must be installed no more than 30” from the center of the water meter. 

E. Some locations may require a pressure regulator valve (PRV) (i.e., services with a tandem 

meter setter, (see CBS05, page 4), or pressure greater than 80 psi). 

F. Service supplied with minimum water pressure at the meter may require an in-line booster 

pump. 

G. Service line will be minimum 1” (1 ¼” recommended) schedule 40 PVC, or State Plumbing 

Code authorized PEX tubing, with a 12 AWG blue tracer wire attached to the pipe and 

detectable metallic underground tape from 12” above the pipe. Water line will be 30” min 

depth with 6” of approved bedding material. 

H. Both the meter and backflow device must be protected from freezing with approved 

material. (Freeze Protection bags are available from CBU.) CBU is not responsible for

Standard Residential PRESSURE REDUCING VALVE (PRV) Detail 

(EXAMPLE CBSO5) 

Tandem Setters 

In some areas of The Ridge, there is above normal water pressure. Services with greater than 

120 psi will have a tandem setter to allow for a standard 5/8” x ¾” water meter and a pressure 

reducing valve (PRV). An “S” tube must be used to allow for the connection of both the meter 

and the PRV. It is recommended that pressures over 80 psi have a PRV installed. 

Copper setter “S” tube may be purchased along with a pressure reducing valve. 

Ford Tandem Coppersetters 

Designed to solve problems resulting from above-normal water pressure, the Tandem 

Coppersetter holds a pressure regulator and the water meter – all in one compact, quicklyinstalled 

Ford Coppersetter device. Pressure of the water flow through the meter and customer 

service lines is thereby reduced to normal. 

Ford recommends service lines and valves are set a minimum of 2” from the pit wall to 

help prevent freezing. 

This is only a partial list of requirements! 

Please call CBU at 541-504-2305 if you have any questions.

STEPS TO A SUCCESSFUL INSTALLATION AND INSPECTION. 

Installation Permit & Site Evaluation Procedures & Criteria for New Septic Systems 

(No digging shall be allowed until step one & two below has been accomplished. If digging has begun, fines will be 

administered.) 

Where is a Septic Tank Effluent Pump System (S.T.E.P.) needed 

On-site sewage disposal system, also known as a S.T.E.P. system, is needed to properly dispose of sewage. 

The septic tank retains solids, and gray water is discharged to a Membrane Bio-Reactor (MBR) Treatment 

Plant. 

Why are permits required 

The permitting process is to ensure that septic systems are sited and constructed in a manner in which 

human health and the environment are protected. 

Permit Process 

Step 1: To prevent a delay, Call utility locates at the number on page one of this document, complete the 

CBU service application, including the owner’s or legally authorized representative’s signature, and submit 

it along with the required fees. At a minimum, the following documents must be attached: 

‣ A completed On-Site S.T.E.P. permit application (page 22) 

‣ Completed Site Development Plan, the plans must be drawn by the property owner or a DEQlicensed 

installer. (page 23) 

‣ A Photo Copy of the DEQ Installers Current License 

Step 2: Upon completion of Step 1, call the (CBU) office to schedule an on-site evaluation. Depending on 

conditions, more than one visit may be necessary. 

What is a “Site Evaluation” Site Evaluation determines which type and size of system is suitable for 

your property. Before excavation, a permit to install a S.T.E.P. system must be issued. A CBU authorized 

representative must complete a site evaluation and approval must be received before excavation begins. 

If you have questions about permits for larger or more complex systems, contact the CBU office. 

Note: A septic system must be installed by a Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ)-licensed 

installer using DEQ-approved materials and equipment that meet minimum standards. All equipment must 

be installed and operated according to the manufacturer’s and CBU’s specifications. Contact the CBU 

office if you have questions about installers or approved materials and equipment. 

Step 3: A tank, electrical conduit, and effluent line inspection must be done before backfilling. Please call 

the CBU office to schedule this inspection. After completion of a satisfactory inspection, you may backfill. 

Step 4: Before occupancy, and use of the septic tank a final tank inspection must be completed by CBU. 

Call the CBU office to schedule this inspection. Please remember CBU has 5 working days to respond! 

Failure to comply with these guidelines WILL incur fines, cause delays, and if not 

resolved, cause service to be disconnected from THE UTILITY SYSTEM.

Utility Service Installation Requirements 

S.T.E.P. system installations must be done by a DEQ licensed installer. Installations must be inspected and 

approved by a CBU representative prior to backfilling and must meet all standard county building codes. 

Standard Residential Sewer Service 

The Residential sewer system is a S.T.E.P. system (Septic Tank Effluent Pump). 

A) This system consists of the following components: 

1) 1100 gallon precast tank – approx. 6’8”W x 9’L x 5’5”H. Call tank supplier for actual 

dimensions. 

2) 24” dia. X 18”H (min.) 36”H (max.) gasketed PVC risers with fiberglass lids. Secured with 

manufacturer supplied stainless steel allen head bolts (see example CBSO7-page 10). 

3) PVC splice box with four (4) electrical cord grips (see example CBSO9-page 11) 

4) Screened PVC pump vault 

5) Float switch assembly (see example CBSO9-page 11) (for ease of removal, there must be a 1” 

PVC Tee handle close to the lid.) 

6) Control alarm panel (see Example CBSO10-page 13) 

7) Hose and valve assembly – a double swivel will need to be installed between the ball valve 

and riser to assist in vault clearance. (Cold weather package from Orenco.) No fittings inside 

the riser shall be more than hand tightened (see CBSO9-page 11). 

8) Effluent pump – call CBU office to verify which pump package is required for your lot. (See 

example CBSO12-page 15 for approved Orenco parts). 

B) S.T.E.P. system installation requirements: 

1) Tank must be 20’ max. from paved access, and be accessible to pumper truck. Per 

(OAR 340-071-0220), tank must be a minimum of 5’ from the foundation and a minimum 

of 5’ from the property line. Tank may not interfere with the Public Utility Easement 

(P.U.E.), which is commonly 10’ in from the property pin on the street side of the lot 

(see example CBSO3-page 20-21). 

2) Riser lids must be 3” above finished grade. 

3) Sewer line must be compliant with the manufacturer’s specifications with a 12 AWG green 

tracer wire attached to pipe and detectable metallic underground tape 12” above pipe. Pipe 

will be a minimum depth of 30” and meet all applicable codes with 6” of bedding underneath. 

If discharge line is more than 50 lineal feet, additional swing checks are required. (Installation 

detail-page 23), Please contact CBU office for requirements on placement of additional swing 

checks. 

4) Discharge line must be sleeved if it crosses a water line or crosses under a driveway or 

sidewalk. The sleeve shall be twice the diameter of the service line! 

5) Control Panel must be located at or near tank and be accessible and visible from the 

road. 

6) Power source must be on dedicated circuit, in a non-metallic rigid conduit and must sweep to 

the top of the tank. 

7) Float wires and wire from panel to your splice box must be 14 AWG Stranded copper 

wire, color coded to CBU specs: Red/Off float, Blue/On float, Yellow/Alarm float, float 

common wire can be any color other than float and pump lead colors (red, blue, yellow, 

black, white or green) (see example CBSO10-page 11). 

8) Pump wire must be 12 AWG stranded, black/white/green (see example CBSO10-page 11). 

9) NO banding will be accepted! Colored wire ONLY!!

PLEASE CONTACT 541-504-2305 IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. 

Installing ORENCO SYSTEM Ribbed PVC Risers 

Getting the right height 

The installed riser shall extend 3 inches above the original ground level (approximately 2 inches for tank 

settlement and 1 inch to ensure drainage away from the riser). 

If the riser is too tall, it may be cut. The top of the riser has plastic bolt catches attached that 

accommodates the lid bolts. A riser must be cut at the bottom end. Use masking tape to mark the riser 

for cutting. To ensure a good fit and a watertight joint, a square cut is absolutely necessary. 

If the riser is too short, a grade ring may be installed under the riser. Generally, it is easiest to bond 

the grade ring to the top of the tank as described below then bond the riser to the grade ring with epoxy. 

Making a Watertight Seal 

If your tank has a groove for the riser cast into the top, roughen and clean the surfaces of the riser 

and tank where they are to be joined. If the groove is wet, sponge up as much water as possible then dry 

thoroughly with a propane torch. Since rock in the concrete may explode when overheated, wear safety 

glasses and apply heat slowly and evenly. Using the two-part epoxy supplied, mix according to the 

directions; fill the ½ inch groove around the access hole in the top of the tank with approximately one pint 

of epoxy. Set the riser in place, twisting gently back and forth while pushing down into the groove. A bead 

of epoxy will be displaced from the groove and will appear around the outside and inside perimeter of the 

riser. 

If your tank does not have a groove for the riser, center the riser over the access hole and mark its 

position on the top of the tank. Roughen, clean and dry the surfaces as described above. Set the riser 

over the tank opening and run a generous fillet of epoxy completely around the inside of the riser’s base. 

Allow ample curing time for the epoxy, then backfill and slope the ground surface away from the riser so 

that runoff will drain away from the tank. Exercise care during the curing period to avoid dislodging the 

riser or disrupting the watertight seal between the riser and the tank. 

Working in Cold Weather 

The epoxy which Orenco System, Inc. (OSI) supplies cures quickly in very warm weather but needs at 

least 90 minutes curing time at 60 degrees and often much longer at lower temperatures. Two 

approaches for successful installation during cold weather are: 

1) Set the riser in place on the tank and apply cement grout around the outside of the riser’s base. 

Once the grout has set, clean and dry inside of the riser’s base and the adjoining surface of the 

tank then apply a generous fillet of epoxy. Backfill may be done when the cement grout has 

set. Complete curing of the epoxy may take much longer but eventually will create a watertight 

seal. 

OR 

2) Have your local concrete tank maker cast an OSI PVC grade ring into the top of the tank 

surrounding the access hole at the time of manufacture. The riser can later be bonded to the 

grade ring with epoxy. 

Access Hole Too Big 

The OSI fiberglass tank adapter converts any oversized opening up to 24” diameter to an 18” diameter 

access hole. The tank adapter may be bonded to a concrete tank using the same two-part epoxy as is 

used for riser installation.

Panel 

Panel Installation 

1. Read all instructions before proceeding with the installation. Improper installation may void 

warranties. 

2. Inspect your order for completeness and inspect each component for shipment damage. If 

something is missing or damaged you will need to contact your supplier to obtain 

replacements. 

3. Check to be sure the instructions and items supplied comply with State and local regulations. 

4. A qualified electrician must be employed to install and service the panel and ancillary wiring. 

The equipment must be installed in compliance with the national Electric Code, as well as 

State codes, local codes and CBU regulations. 

Placement of the Control Panel 

5. Install the electrical control or alarm panel near the tank and in view of the road. The panel 

should be attached to a post or an exterior wall. Panels that contain motor contactors should 

not be mounted to an exterior wall unless the mounting method includes sound deadening. If 

possible, position the panel in the shade to protect it from weather. Extreme temperatures 

can cause inconsistent performance of the electrical components. Locate the panel at a 

convenient height (usually about five feet above the ground) and where it will be accessible for 

maintenance. 

Install Floats and Pumps 

6. Install the electrical splice box (es) for the floats and pump(s) before installing the actual floats 

and pumping equipment. The splice box (es) is installed in the grommet(s) provided near the 

top of the riser. 

7. Install the floats. Thread the float and pump cords through the cord grips into the PVC splice 

box, leaving adequate lengths of electrical cord coiled inside the riser to allow easy removal 

of the pump and float assembly. Do not remove the colored markers or the paper tags from 

the float cords, and do not try to thread the markers and tag through the cord grip. These 

should be left on the float cord, outside the splice box. Tighten the cord grips by hand, not by 

tool and then check the tightness of the cord grips by tugging on each cord. A cord is secure 

and the connection watertight when the cord grip is tight enough to prevent slippage. 

Adequate lengths of cord should be left within the splice box to allow for easy removal for 

future disconnecting and re-splicing. 

8. Run the wires from the control panel to the splice box. The wires must be brought through a 

conduit. Conduit that enters the splice box must be sealed with a conduit seal to prevent the 

infiltration of water into the splice box. The number of wires required depends on the control 

panel and the number of floats and pumps used. This can be determined by consulting the 

splice box wiring diagram appropriate for the control panel and float arrangement being used. 

9. Wire shall be sized at 14 AWG stranded for the floats. When calculating wire size, you 

need to take the length and size of your branch circuit wires from the service entrance panel 

to the pump control panel into account. Wire that is too small can cause an excessive voltage 

drop and poor pump performance. 


Revised 06-26-2013 

15




Connect Control Panel 


10. Connect the wires coming from floats to the terminals in the control panel. Refer to the 

appropriate float arrangement diagram or splice-box wiring diagram for the correct terminal 

connections. 

11. Connect the wires coming from the pump(s) to the pump terminals. Refer to the panel wiring 

diagram for the correct terminal connections. 

12. Connect the incoming power to the panel. Power to the panel must be appropriate to the 

control panel and pump motor (i.e., 120 VAC, single phase for a 120 VAC motor, 240 VAC 

single phase for a 240 VAC motor, etc). Insure that the panel is properly grounded and that 

the fuse or breaker and wire size, from the main power panel and to the pump, are sized

The above referenced owner hereby applies for residential water and sewer service to the above referenced property. In 

making this application we do hereby agree to fully comply with and be bound by the rules, regulations, standards and 

specifications, policies and procedures set forth by the utility in its Policy Manual. A copy of the manual is on file in the utility’s 

office located at 1230 Golden Pheasant Drive, Redmond, Or 97756, and is available to you upon request and for a fee of $5.00, 

or downloaded for free at http://www.eagle-crest.com/real-estate/cline-butte-utilities.php . 

Attached with this application is a total payment of $5,250 payable to CBU representing the required water connection deposit 

fee of $500, the sewer connection fee of $3,750, and compliance deposit of $1,000. (See below for estimate of total water 

connection fee.) 

The tariff on file with the Oregon Public Utility Commission, effective July 1, 2008, set the water service connection charge “at 

cost”. Cline Butte Water, LLC has established the following ESTIMATE for a water service connection charged based on meter 

size and twenty feet of service line: 5/8 x 3/4 meter with a 1 inch service line--$1,537.07. This charge may vary greatly 

depending on labor costs, length of service line, and materials. The balance of the water service connection charge is due and 

payable upon approved connection to the water system. NOTE: The length of the water service line may vary greatly, thus 

affecting the cost of service. CBU can provide you with an estimate specific to your property location. Please contact CBU at 

(541) 504-2305 Option #3. 

The compliance deposit is fully refundable, subject to the conditions set forth in the Policy Manual. The utility reserves the right 

to assess and withhold charges against the compliance deposit in the event of failure to comply with the standards and 

specifications, including required inspections that result in additional service calls made by the utility. If the initial deposit is 

exhausted, all work shall stop until another deposit is made. 

Further, the property owner shall be responsible for payment of monthly utility rates designated in the attached rate schedule 

upon approved connection to CBU’s water and sewer system. 

I/We have read and understand the CBU standards and specifications and agree to comply with all conditions of service 

required by CBU, *DHS, *DEQ, *UPC and *PUC.
