Annotation A guide to selecting, installing, testing, and maintaining water meters. Coverage includes selecting meter types, impacts on service adequacy, meter installation, testing of meters, and maintenance and repair of displacement meters. Also discusses shop layout and equipment, records, and remote registration. Includes a list of AWWA manuals. This manual discusses recommended practices; it is not an AWWA standard calling for compliance with certain specifications. Can be used by new and existing utilities of all sizes, and by design engineers and consultants. Member price $40.00. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
An ideal reference for design engineers and operators in water treatment, this manual of water supply practices describes ductile-iron pipe manufacturing, design, hydraulics, pipe wall thickness, corrosion control, installation, supports, fittings and appurtenances, joining, and installation.
Published by the Plastics Pipe Institute (PPI), the Handbook describes how polyethylene piping systems continue to provide utilities with a cost-effective solution to rehabilitate the underground infrastructure. The book will assist in designing and installing PE piping systems that can protect utilities and other end users from corrosion, earthquake damage and water loss due to leaky and corroded pipes and joints.
Updated from the 2001 edition, this new manual has expanded equations for eccentricity torque, added torque sign conventions and double offset disc design variables. Water operators receive complete information about the versatile butterfly valve in drinking water service. Engineers and technicians will gain a basic understanding of calculations for operating torque, head loss, and cavitation. Coverage includes valve design, torque, head loss, cavitation, testing, noise, and vibration. (
The revised manual contains new material reflective of isses and changes in this evolving water industry. The manual provides guidance and recommendations on choosing rate structures and setting water rates, fees, and charges which will cover utility costs and future needs. The manual covers all types of rate structures, such as block rates, uniform rates, conservation rates, surcharges, and many others.
