    PLUMBING & SANITARY SYSTEMS
    THE WATER TREATMENT PROCESS
    WATER TREATMENT - conditions/treats water supply
    to improve water quality, remove suspended solids by
    filtration
    KEY PROCESS: Surface Water
    • Dilution: contaminants diluted to
    reduced risks
    • Coagulation and
    • Flocculation: Chemicals
    (coagulants) and/or filter added to
    water, mixed in (flocculated)
    • Settling: heavier items settle to the
    bottom
    • Filtration: granular medium (sand,
    crushed anthracite coal, or activated
    carbon)
    • Disinfection: Disinfectants (chlorine,
    chloramines ozone, ultraviolet light,
    and chlorine dioxide)
    KEY PROCESS: Surface Water
    Other Chemical Treatments - adjust hardness or
    softness, pH, and alkalinity.
    •Fluoride added (dental health)
    •Sodium hydroxide reduces corrosivity, extends life of
    pipelines, storage tanks, plumbing systems
    GROUNDWATER PROTECTION AND TREATMENT
    Source Water Protection – "watershed protection”; natural
    and engineered processes follow
    GROUNDWATER PROTECTION AND TREATMENT
    • Wellhead protection - critical
    (preventing contamination of ground-
    water supplies)
    • Groundwater pumped out of an
    aquifer; earth naturally provides
    filtration of microscopic pathogens.
    • Groundwater: iron and manganese
    (occur naturally in the earth)
    • Municipal Water Treatment (Granular
    Activated Carbon - GAC) removal of
    taste/odor compounds.
    Water Testing
    Water Quality Guideline - a water guideline level for a water constituent which does not
    result in significant health risk and which ensures aesthetically acceptable water.
    Standard Methods - Methods of analysis prescribed by American Public Health
    Association, American Waterworks Association, Water Pollution Control Federation or
    US Environmental Pollution Control Federation or USE environmental Protection
    Agency; accepted by authority
    Water Quality - used to define those bacteriological, chemical, physical, biological or
    radiological characteristics which evaluates the acceptability of the water.
    Water Testing

    Minimum requirements BACTERIOLOGICAL QUALITY of drinking-water


    a. All drinking water supplies (Level I, II, III, bottled water & emergency supplies).
    b. Presence of E-Coli or Thermo-tolerant (fecal) coli-form bacteria - indicator of fecal
    pollution
    c. The detection suggests possible presence of organisms that can cause disease.
    d. Water that free from E-Coli or Thermo-tolerant coli form bacteria is considered safe
