The American Water Works Association had this guide written to assist those who will choose, locate and/or install air valves for water use (it doesn't contain the AWWA standard, which is a separate publication). The use and principles of air valves are discussed in an introduction, the remainder of

Low or negative pressure transients (also called surge or water hammer) create temporary opportunities for external chemical and microbial contaminants at higher pressure to enter the water distribution system, creating potential health hazard and potential weakening of distribution pipes, leading to failure. This study investigates how such events as power outages, pump shutdowns, valve operations, main flushing, firefighting, and main breaks can create significant rapid, temporary drops in system pressure. The report offers useful recommendations for using surge models to optimally locate pressure monitors and to minimize the occurrence and impact from low- and negative-pressure transients.

Written for the piping engineer and designer in the field, this two-part series helps to fill a void in piping literature, since the Rip Weaver books of the '90s were taken out of print at the advent of the Computer Aid Design (CAD) era. Technology may have changed, however the fundamentals of piping rules still apply in the digital representation of process piping systems. The Fundamentals of Piping Design is an introduction to the design of piping systems, various processes and the layout of pipe work connecting the major items of equipment for the new hire, the engineering student and the veteran engineer needing a reference.

This handbook is revision of the 1992 Drinking Water Handbook for Public Officials (EPA-810-B-92-016), and the 1993 AWWA publication, Drinking Water Handbook for Public Officials, 2e. This less technical resource leads the reader through the process from finding the water supply, to use by the customer, and disposal of the treated wastewater using photos and graphics. New to this version is a section on water and sewer utilities as enterprise funds with discussions on rate concepts, rate schedule options, impact fees, and financial planning. Also included is coverage of risk: system failure, public health impacts, or breached security. This Handbook should be of particular interest to all local officials, including city management, finance staff, public works personnel, engineers, and new utility managers.
