AWWA STANDARDS
The Standard for Quality
in the Water Industry
For over 100 years, AWWA has developed standards
for the manufacture and use of equipment and supplies
used in drinking water treatment and distribution, as
well as standards for water utility management.
Every AWWA Standard is rigorously approved through
a formal, consensus-based process. Standards are
reviewed every fve years to ensure that they provide
current technical information.
AWWA volunteer committees of subject-matter
experts develop AWWA Standards. You are
encouraged to volunteer for a committee.
Visit www.awwa.org/volunteer for information.
AWWA Standards are available through annual
subscription. Subscriptions save you 70% over the
cost of purchasing standards individually. Your initial
purchase includes a full set of standards (over 165
standards) plus free updates for 12 months. A yearly
subscription provides all revised )or new standards
published in a 12-month period (20-25 standards).

Volume 4: Water Quality
Fourth Edition
High-quality water meets or exceeds federal,
state, and local water-quality regulations and
also customers aesthetic expectations, i.e.,
free of color, taste, and odor. Each year, public
water-quality regulations get stricter and tougher
for water utilities to comply with. In this text,
students learn the plethora of federal water quality
regulations under which utilities operate and how
water quality is monitored and tested.
Students learn the many contaminants found in
water that must be treated: microbials and indicator
organisms; metals, chemicals, and other inorganic
materials; and radiological contaminants. The text
also presents the human health effects of these
contaminants. Students will learn physical and
aggregate properties of water, such as acidity,
taste and odor, and hardness. Students learn the
equipment and methods of water quality labora-
tories, how water is monitored for both treatment
effciency and contaminants, sampling, and record
keeping, and methods of investigating customer
complaints. The text includes supplementary
reading lists, a glossary, and an index.

The Chlorine Revolution: Water Disinfection and the Fight to Save Lives
Michael J. McGuire
The use of chlorine to make water safe to drink has been one of the greatest scientifc and engineering
achievements in the fght against deadly diseases. At the turn of the 20th century, the average human life span
in the US was 47. Most people died of infectious diseases, many of which were waterborne, such as dysentery,
typhoid fever, and cholera, rather than old age. The Chlorine Revolution is about a courageous physician and
his partnership with the greatest sanitary engineer of the time to plan, build, and operate the frst, large-scale
drinking water disinfection system in the US. It is also about a court case that extended over two trials
(1906-10) that pitted engineering and scientifc experts of the day against one another. The verdict approving
the use of chlorine for the Jersey City water supply caused an explosion of its use, which led to the conquest
of waterborne disease in the US. The Chlorine Revolution is the frst book to investigate this critical event in the
history of public health in the US and to correct some long-held misinformation in the historical literature.

Elixir: A History of Water and Humankind
Dr. Brian Fagan
Author Brian Fagan tells the fascinating story of how our most vital resource has shaped every human
society since the beginning of time. This sweeping narrative moves across the world, from ancient
Greece and Rome, whose mighty aqueducts still supply modern cities, to China, where emperors marshaled
armies of laborers in a centuries-long struggle to tame powerful rivers, to todays green cities in the desert.
As the earths population approaches nine billion and ancient aquifers run dry, we once again may need to
remember the reverence our ancestors placed on this vital resource.

The Water-Energy Nexus in the American West
Douglas S. Kenney and Robert Wilkinson, editors
Water and energy are two sides of the same coin: the production of oil, gas, and electricity requires
vast amounts of water; the transport and production of drinking water uses enormous amounts of energy.
The savings opportunities in energy production as well as water production are exponential when water
policy and energy policy are integrated. This book sheds new light on choices that avoid unnecessary harm
and waste in the development and management of water and energy systems. Valuable insight for water
policy makers.

Our business is safe water. Make it your business, too!
Connections between our water supply and sources of possible contamination are
potentially dangerous, and connections between drinking water lines and commercial
and industrial plumbing systems can be deadly. Connections that allow dangerous
and objectionable material to enter the water supply lines are called cross connec-
tions. Because the Water Department is responsible for ensuring that the water is
safe for everyone to drink, it has established a cross-connection control program to
protect the water system from backfow. Backfow is the reverse fow of undesirable
and dangerous material into the water mains.
As a business owner or manager, your cooperation and assistance are needed to
make this program work. Cross connections are generally unintentional. No one de-
liberately makes plumbing connections to the potable water system that could cause
injury or damage. However, sometimes in the course of providing water to industrial
or commercial operations or installing new plumbing fxtures, cross connections are
inadvertently built into the plumbing system. Cross connections can be controlled
with the proper backfow-prevention techniques.
Where can I get more information?
Your public water supplier is responsible for supplying potable water to its custom-
ers. As part of this responsibility, the water utility, in conjunction with other entities,
such as the city and local health and plumbing offcials, has implemented an ongoing
backfow prevention and cross-connection control program to protect public water
systems from the hazards originating on the premises of its customers and from tem-
porary connections that may result in the impairment of the public water supply. The
program includes the installation, testing, and maintenance of backfow preventers at
service connections where a potential threat to the public water supply is identifed.
Your cooperation and assistance in this program will help ensure that the city can
provide clean, safe water for everyone to drink.
To learn more about cross-connection control and backfow prevention programs and
devices, see the American Water Works Association Manual of Water Supply Practice
M14, Recommended Practice for Backfow Prevention and Cross-Counnection Control,
available at www.awwa.org/store.
The US Environmental Protection Agency has several guidance documents available
on line; search Backfow prevention on the National Service Center for Environmen-
tal Publications site: www.epa.gov/nscep/index.html.

ater on Earth today has
been here for millions
of years. Because of the
hydrologic cycle (water
cycle), water moves fromthe
Earth to the air to the Earth
again. It changes fromsolid
to liquid to gas, over and over
again.
Water evaporates. It travels
into the air and becomes
part of a cloud. It falls down
to Earth as precipitation.
Then it evaporates again. This
repeats over and over again in
a never-ending cycle.
Precipitation creates
runoff that travels over
Earths surface and helps to
fll lakes and rivers. Runoff
water also percolates or
moves downward through
openings in the soil to
replenish aquifers under the
ground. Groundwater can
be found in the porous areas
of underground rock, clay,
sand, and gravel. As clouds
move up and over mountains,
the water vapor condenses
to formprecipitation and
freezes. Snow falls on the
peaks. When the snow
melts, it fows into the rivers
and lakes or seeps into the
ground.
Using these hydrologic cycle
words, fll in the blanks on the
picture with the appropriate
term. There are some places
where more than one term would be correct.
