Sanitation water quality

Water Quality Maintenance. The NSPI recommends an ideal residual of 3—5 ppm PAG for chlorine sanitizers with CAC not exceeding 0.2 ppm see Table 2 (14). Eor bromine sanitizers, the maintenance of a 3—5 ppm ideal residual is recommended. 

If the water is found fit for consumption, with respect to both its mineral and biological content, the problem of sanitization can still arise. Public supply invariably has a very small residual chlorine level. This suppresses biological growth and maintains water quality even when the line is stagnant. As with other forms of treatment, the scale of private supply is usually too small to allow good control of chlorinating equipment.

The WHO published the first and second editions of the Guidelines for Drinking-Water Quality (Eigure 3.5), in three volumes, in 1984-1985 and in 1993-1997, respectively, and a third edition of Volume 1 was published in 2004 (Section 9.2.1.2). The publications are available to the public at the WHO Water Sanitation and Health Web site (WHO 2007a).

One of the foremost global issues regarding water quality is access to safe drinking water. Currently, one-sixth of the world s 6.1 billion people do not have access to a source of clean water, and 40% do not have adequate sanitation facilities. Polluted water is responsible for diseases such as typhoid, cholera, and dysentery. Three million people die annually due to the latter. The discovery that diseases were transmit-...

Readers should note that while this publication has been developed as a supporting document for, and with reference to, the Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality, the guidelines themselves are frequently updated and the latest information should always be sought by reference to relevant World Health Organization publications and web site, (http //www.who.int/water sanitation health/dwq/guidelines/en/index.html)...

It is important to point out that a small number of microorganisms surviving in the purified water system do not necessarily affect the water quality. Because of the lack of nutrients and other unfavorable conditions, the microbial growth in such waters is very slow. That provides operators with an option to maintain such systems in the state of microbial control by sanitizing them periodically rather than continuously, as long as the frequency is high enough to keep the bacterial counts at acceptable low levels. ... 

In addition to laws, criteria and systems discussed above, compliance with several standards play an important role in maintaining drinking water quality. These standards provide for development of criteria when none are available from the regulating body. For example, compliance with National Sanitation Foundation International/American National Standards Institute (NSF/ANSI) Standard 61, which addresses the potential for constituents to leach from components of drinking water systems into water moving toward the tap, is required under many state laws and regulations.
