Flag explanation

Civil clause specifies the utility trench for the domestic water tie-in at column line 18 excavated to only 3'-0" below finished grade, but the plumbing domestic water main entry is specified at 4'-0" below finished grade. The trench depth does not match the depth of the pipe it is intended to receive, creating a coordination discrepancy.
