A gravity sewer run cannot maintain required slope because of a utility conflict. What should happen?

Correct Answer

C) Stop and get design direction before changing it

Pause the affected installation and obtain coordinated design and utility direction. Changing slope, invert or alignment can affect both drainage performance and the conflicting utility. Backfilling conceals the problem; erosion-control fabric is not a substitute for an approved pipe support detail.

Answer Options
A
Flatten the grade without approval
B
Backfill to conceal the conflict
C
Stop and get design direction before changing it
D
Use silt fence as pipe support

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Pause the affected installation and obtain coordinated design and utility direction. Changing slope, invert or alignment can affect both drainage performance and the conflicting utility. Backfilling conceals the problem; erosion-control fabric is not a substitute for an approved pipe support detail.
