to the main sewer shall conform to the Standard Specifications and other requirements of

materials when, in his opinion, special conditions and the best interests of the District
warrant such deviations.

when the side sewer is ready for inspection and connection to the main sewer. The
connection shall be made under the supervision of the Engineer or his representative. Any

of the Engineer.

a street shall comply with all state, county, and city laws, ordinances, rules and regulations
