This standard for disinfection of water-storage facilities describes materials, facility preparation, application of disinfectant to interior surfaces of facilities, and sampling and testing for the presence of coliform bacteria, chlorine residual, and acceptable aesthetic water quality. The standard also includes disinfection procedures for underwater inspection and/or cleaning of potable-water-storage facilities but does not describe the technical aspects of underwater inspection and/ or cleaning.

The report of multi-disciplinary team of engineers and practitioners from a research project commissioned by the Association to create a resource to help water utilities operate and maintain water distributions systems to prevent water quality from deteriorating. They look at prevention programs, qu

AWWA's most popular handbook for distribution operators, this handbook provides a complete introduction to water distribution system operation and equipment.

Reports on a project that identifies pathogen routes of entry into water distribution systems and develops monitoring and control strategies for protecting the system. Contains chapters on pathogens and pathways, existing control strategies, transient surge modeling, pressure monitoring, field monitoring, recommended control strategies, and recommendations to utilities. The project was completed by a multi-disciplinary team of engineers and practitioners with funding from the American Water Works Association Research Foundation and the Environmental Protection Agency.
