This book presents a collection of Standards most relevant to small systems: (A100-97 Water Wells, B300-04 Hypochlorites, C651-05 Disinfecting Water Mains, C652-02 Disinfection of Water-Storage facilities, and G200-04 Distribution Systems Operation Management). The book provides the small systems with a convenient reference for the Standards most often used.
AWWA's most popular handbook for distribution operators, this handbook provides a complete introduction to water distribution system operation and equipment.
Water distribution systems are made up of pipe, valves and pumps through which treated water is moved from the treament plant to homes, offices, industries, and other consumers. The types of materials and equipment used by each water system are usually governed by local conditions, past practices, and economics. Consequently, drinking water professionals must be knowledgeable about common types of equipment and operating methods that are available. Completely revised and updated, Water transmission and distribution includes information on the following: distribution system design and operation and maintenance ; piping materials ; valves, pumps, and water meters ; water main installation ; backfilling, main testing, and installation safety ; fire hyfrants ; water storage ; water services ; cross-connection control ; motors and engines ; instrumentation and control ; information management and public relations.--Cover page [4].
This book provides a comprehensive overview of decisions related to designing, expanding and operating water systems that serve fewer than 3000 people or 1000 connections.
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.

Specially designed for in-the-field use, this comprehensive yet compact book will pay for itself over and over in the time you save looking for chemical and mathematic formulas, chemical feed rates, US/metric conversions, pipe and equipment data, operational parameters, construction and installation information, OSHA and USEPA regulations, and much more. More than 20 tables have been updated from the 2004 edition, to reflect information in current AWWA standards and manuals in this new edition. Many example calculations were converted to a more understandable format. Information has also been added on drought, emergency disinfection, membranes, nitrification, fluoridation, external corrosion, backflow prevention, PE pipe, fire flow requirements, sizing service lines and meters, and water audits and loss control, and more. Included is a CD with the checklists which can be printed multiple times along with color photos of the related signage. (Replaces ISBN 9781583213155)
