<strong>Village</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Belcarra</strong>, Watermain Cover<br />
____________________________________________________________________<br />
We have reviewed your request to reduce the minimum cover <strong>of</strong> the water main to 0.9<br />
metres.<br />
The <strong>Village</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Belcarra</strong> is quite small so we are not in a position to carry out a large study<br />
to address your question.<br />
We have looked at the minimum cover requirements in some nearby municipalities and<br />
discussed the matter with Mr. Larry Scott. Some typical cover requirements are as follows:<br />
1. Anmore 1.0 metre.<br />
2. Burnaby 0.9 metres.<br />
3. Coquitlam 1.0 metre.<br />
4. Port Coquitlam 1.0 metre.<br />
5. Surrey 1.0 metre.<br />
6. Port Moody 1.2 metres.<br />
7. City <strong>of</strong> North Vancouver 1.2 metres.<br />
In choosing a minimum water main cover there are three considerations. Adequate cover for<br />
protection from traffic loads in roads, adequate cover for frost protection and adequate clearance<br />
from utilities.<br />
In <strong>Belcarra</strong>, 0.9 <strong>of</strong> a metre is adequate for protection from traffic loads and frost.<br />
