The implementation of sanitary sewer systems and treated water supplies has protected the public from many kinds of biohazards. State and local governments have plumbing codes, codes for sanitary sewer systems, and codes for water supply systems. In many locations, plumbing and sanitary lines require inspection when initially installed or modified. Strict code enforcement prevents potential disease transfer. Careful separation of potable water from untreated water supplies and sewer lines prevents cross-contamination or back flow to the potable water. 

Drilled wells—Drilled wells are usually the only type of well allowed for use in most public water supply systems. Several different methods of drilling are available, all of which are capable of drilling wells of extreme depth and diameter. Drilled wells are constructed using a drilling rig that creates a hole into which the casing is placed. Screens are installed at one or more levels when water-bearing formations are encountered. 

As mentioned above, infant formula in the Federal Republic of Germany is available as a powder or as a concentrate and must therefore be reconstituted with drinking water before it can be eaten. This may present quite a considerable source of Pb and Cd contamination. Its degree is very much determined by the state and condition of the drinking water supply systems. In the Federal Republic of Germany approximately 10% of households receive their drinking water from installations made of lead about 75% have installations made of zinc-plated steel [4]. 

In many countries the discharge of sewage and other effluents from industrial installations, laboratories, residential premises, etc. is subject to statutory regulations, which will duly have to be considered in connection with the design of water supply systems. 

As described in Section 10.2, lead pipe test rigs can be installed at strategic locations within a water supply system. A typical deployment would be (i) treated water at the treatment works, before orthophosphate dosing, (ii) treated water at the treatment works, after ortho-phosphate dosing, (iii) within the near distribution system, close to the treatment works, and (iv) within the far distribution system, distant from the treatment works. 

Domestic water supply to laboratories may require installation of back-flow preventers, special devices that provide positive protection against siphoning laboratory water into the potable water system should the supply pressure drop. Building drinking fountain, cafeteria, and rest room water supplies must be on the potable water supply rather than the laboratory water supply system. Unfortunately, this is not the case in many existing laboratory buildings. 

The thermocycle system can be operated only when condensing water is available at a temperature lower than the required chilled-water-supply temperature. Modifications for a centrifugal refrigeration unit include the installation of a small liqmd-refrigerant pump, cooler spray header nozzles, and a vapor bypass line between the cooler and the condenser. Without the compressor operating, a thermocycle capacity up to 35 percent of the refrigeration-unit rating can be produced. 

Where the TDS in water supphes is above the taste threshold, or where there is concern about the safety of the water supply, simple RO systems operating on line pressure have made a major impact. These compac t units are usually kitchen installed, and are simple, small, and cheap. For typical line pressure of 400 kPa, 95 percent reduction of TDS is feasible if the inlet concentration is below 2000 mg/ . 

Absorption Field A system of properly sized and constructed narrow trenches partially filled with a bed of washed gravel or crushed stone into which perforated or open joint pipe is placed. The discharge from the septic tank is distributed through these pipes into trenches and surrounding soil. While seepage pits normally require less land area to install, they should be used only where absorption fields are not suitable and well-water supplies are not endangered. 

Regarding fires, water is the primary extinguishing agent, and it should be available in adequate supply and pressure at all of the locations in the plant. The layout for various types of installations and the appropriate recommendations are found in the standards of the National Fire Protection Association. Fire hydrants, hose lines, automatic sprinkler and water spray systems should all be a part of the permanent equipment facilities of the plant. 

Sprinkler and water spray installations-Many process and storage area buildings should be protected by automatic sprinkler systems. The size and arrangement for water supply are dependent upon the nature of the hazard and the degree of protection desired. Water spray installations are particularly adapted for cooling uninsulated steel structures, elevated pipe lines, vessels, spheres, and similar plant installations.

The flows of wastewater originating from the water supply of a community and runoff from precipitation on urban surfaces are typically collected and conveyed for treatment and disposal. The system used for this purpose is called a sewer network or a collection system that consists of individual pipes (sewer lines) and a number of installations, such as inlet structures and pumps, to facilitate collection and transport. The efficient, safe and cost-effective collection and transport of wastewater and urban runoff have been identified as key criteria to be observed. In this context, the word safe means that public health, welfare and environmental protection have high priority. The demand for solutions toward more sustainable water management in the cities is a new challenge. 

Firewater supply sources can be the city public water main, a dedicated storage tank and pumps, or the most convenient lake, river or if an offshore installation the open sea. Brackish or salt water supplies can be used if suitable corrosion protection measures are applied to the entire firewater system if it is planned to be used for an extended life (i.e., grater than five years). If a short life span of the facility is expected, short corrosion resistant materials may be used (i.e., carbon steel, galvanized steel, etc.), provided periodic testing indicates their integrity is still adequate and scale or corrosion particles do not affect operational efficiency. 

The city of Columbus, Ohio, installed a PACT water treatment system for 1.2 million. The system was purchased to remove atrazine (a pesticide) from the water supply. In 1997, Columbus spent 150,000 on powered activated carbon. Additional monitoring costs were estimated to be over 10,000 per year (D19947H, p. 11).
