Safe Water From Every Tap


Book Description

Small communities violate federal requirements for safe drinking water as much as three times more often than cities. Yet these communities often cannot afford to improve their water service. Safe Water From Every Tap reviews the risks of violating drinking water standards and discusses options for improving water service in small communities. Included are detailed reviews of a wide range of technologies appropriate for treating drinking water in small communities. The book also presents a variety of institutional options for improving the management efficiency and financial stability of water systems.

Criteria for Valve Location and System Reliability


Book Description

This study collected information on valves, valve maintenance, and management, and developed a software modeling program for water utilities to develop cost-effective valve management plans. The model can find weaknesses in valve systems, identify critical valves and locations for the addition of new valves, and assess the impacts of the reliability of valves on customer outage. Using this model, it is possible to improve the performance of valve systems cost effectively by adding more valves in the system and improving the maintenance program, and thus, the reliability of valves. Includes CD-ROM with the Strategic Valve Management Model.
