nitrification. Nitrification can be problematic in potable water systems that use chloramines to provide a residual
disinfectant in the distribution system. Distribution system nitrification leads to decreases in chloramine residual,
alkalinity, and pH; elevated levels of nitrite and nitrate; and increased microbial counts. Nitrification can potentially
impact compliance with Safe Drinking Water Act requirements.

Backflow Prevention and Cross-Connection Control
Cross-connection control is one of the most important barriers in the
multiple-barrier approach drinking water suppliers use to protect public health.
Contamination of a drinking water distribution system through a cross connec-
tion often results in immediate illness, or even death. Reduce the chances of
cross-connections and backflow into your potable water system. This bestsell-
ing training video explains the importance of a formal backflow prevention and
cross-connection control program and illustrates the important concepts.
Topics covered:
n What cross-connections are and why they are dangerous
n Where cross-connections occur in the water system
n The two types of backflow and the conditions that can generate backflow
n Costs, injuries, and deaths associated with backflow incidents
n Types of backflow-prevention devices and assemblies
n Other methods for preventing backflow and cross-connections
n Elements of a backflow-prevention/cross-connection control program
This video is specially developed to reinforce and demonstrate the information in AWWA Manual M14, Recommended
Practice for Backflow Prevention and Cross-Connection Control (see page 17). Together, the video and manual provide
total operator training in backflow and cross connections.

Centrifugal Pump
Design
John Tuzson
This book offers pump
designers a simple method
of pump design that is
based on a fundamental
understanding of the flow
patterns in centrifugal
pumps. Superior pump
designs can only come
from a detailed understanding of these flow patterns, not
from falling back on formula design. Whether the design
calls for a small simple pump or a large custom unit,
the designer needs to know and understand what needs
to be calculated. This book provides that understanding
along with a pump design procedure, which requires only
basic pump engineering skills and training.

Desalination of Seawater and Brackish Water
This book is a compilation of the most significant recently published work on desalination,
which means it contains the most current technical information available on desalination pro-
cesses. The articles presented were selected from AWWA conference proceedings and AWWA
periodicals. Topics include seawater desalination, brackish water desalination, membrane soft-
ening, concentrate disposal issues, planning, cost, and project delivery.
Desalination using either membrane or thermal processes can produce high-quality drinking water. Water shortages
and water quality issues are leading some utilities to consider using seawater or brackish water as drinking water
sources. These alternatives to traditional surface or groundwater supplies are becoming more cost-competitive due to
advancements in technology, as well as increased use. Seawater desalination has already become a well-established
water treatment practice in some parts of the world.
Water Desalting
Planning Guide
for Water Utilities
Dismissed as too expensive just
a few years ago, desalination of
seawater or brackish water is
becoming a viable technology for
creating new water sources in the
US and other countries. Several new desalting plants
are in the works in the US. This highly readable guide
is an overview of desalination. It provides information
about the major commercially available desalination
processes, including process descriptions, system
components, and general costs. It discusses issues
that a utility may face when planning and build-
ing a desalting project. The guidebook will benefit
water utility managers and water resource planners
who have access to seawater or brackish water as
alternative options to conventional freshwater source
development. It will help them identify desalting
processes that could be viable in a particular situa-
tion, or conversely, eliminate the nonviable processes.

Salinity Issues in Source Waters
Water suppliers have noted a rise in the salinity of certain
source waters across North America. Conventional water
treatment cannot remove high concentrations of salt.
Advanced desalination techniques, expensive equipment,
specially trained operators, and higher costs are required.
This DVD program explains all the issues of source water
salinity: how water becomes saline, point and nonpoint
sources of saline contamination, saltwater intrusion into
groundwater, health and environmental problems, water
and wastewater treatment issues, USEPA and state
regulations, and case studies. This DVD gives an
excellent overview of the subject for water supply
professionals, water boards, water resource managers,
and environmental protection groups.

Converting Distribution Systems
From Chlorine to Chloramines
Drinking water professionals must balance the public health
benefits of chlorine disinfection with the potentially harmful
disinfection by-products (DBPs) that chlorine produces. Using
chloramines as a distribution system disinfectant may help
water professionals meet this challenge, because chloramines
produce fewer DBPs than does chlorine. Chloramines also offer
simplicity of use, a long-lasting measurable residual, and a
proven history of success.
This DVD discusses the use of chloramines as a residual disinfectant following primary disinfection. It explains
basic problems associated with disinfection by-products, federal DBP regulations, and advantages and drawbacks
of chloramines.
To assist treatment managers in their decisions whether or not to convert to chloramines, the video outlines the
basic issues with which utilities must deal:
n Ammonia feed system
n Chemical feed points
n Chemical forms of chlorine and ammonia
n Chemical safety and handling
n Operator training
n Chlorine to ammonia ratio and dosing
n Sampling and monitoring
n Nitrification control flushing, chlorine/chloramine burns, chlorine/ammonia ratios
n Public information about chloramines and notification of switchover
Ion Exchange Treatment for Water
Anthony M. Wachinski
The traditional role of ion exchange continues to range from the complete removal
of all dissolved ionic species, to calcium and magnesium salts removal (softening),
to selective removal of arsenic from groundwater. In industrial water treatment, ion
exchange still plays a major role in the production of high-quality feedwaters. But
those roles are changing, because of the growth of membrane technology and
changing brine discharge legislation. This handbook provides scientific theory,
technical data, system design, operating parameters and processes, and costs for
ion exchange in water treatment, as well as discussions of the changing roles of ion
exchange water treatment in the coming years. Excellent for working professionals
and advanced students.

Water Treatment Residuals Engineering
David A. Cornwell
All water treatment processes that remove contaminants produce a waste by-product, or residual.
That residual may be liquid, solid, a mixture of the two, or a gaseous vapor. This text is written for
engineers who design for the treatment and disposal of water treatment residuals. The book provides
engineering, treatment, and disposal data and discussions for all types of water treatment residuals,
including those created by coagulant and lime softening, filter backwash water, low-pressure and high-pressure membranes,
ion exchange and inorganic adsorption processes, arsenic treatment, radioactive substances, and spent GAC. A chapter also
discusses the marketing of water treatment plant residuals for beneficial uses.

This Awwa Research Foundation study evaluates the suitability of several integrated membrane
systems for a number of raw water sources. Integrated membrane systems are pretreatment
processes combined with conventional nanofiltration or reverse osmosis membranes.
Pretreatment is usually needed when using membranes for water treatment to reduce membrane
fouling. Membranes, especially nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membranes, are susceptible
to colloidal, organic, and biological fouling, as well as scaling, which cause frequent downtime.
Pretreatment also provides superior finished water quality due to the extra filtration.

Ammonia From Chloramine Decay: Effects on Distribution
System Nitrification
Harrington, Noguera, Bone, Kandou, Oldenburg, Regan, Van Hoven
A significant concern associated with chloramination is nitrification caused by the growth of
ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) in the distribution system. AOB use ammonia as an energy
source, converting ammonia to nitrite. Nitrite speeds the decomposition of the chloramine residual,
which can increase heterotrophic plate count bacteria and coliforms.

Integrating UV Disinfection Into Existing Water
Treatment Plants
Christine Cotton, Laurel Passantino, Douglas Owen, Mark Bishop, Mathew Valade, William Becker,
Roopesh Joshi, John Young, Mark LeChevallier, Rich Hubel
The drinking water industrys recent interest in ultraviolet (UV) disinfection has been fueled
by the finding that UV light can inactivate both Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia lamblia at
cost-effective doses. For this reason, many utilities believe that UV disinfection will help them meet
upcoming regulatory requirements of increased levels of disinfection with no appreciable increase
in disinfection by-products. Includes CD-ROM.

Assessment of Auxiliary Backwash
Method for Rapid Sand Filters
Richard C. Pohlman, Deborah H. Metz, Jack DeMarco
The life of filter media is prolonged with good backwash
practices. However, simple hydraulic backwashing alone
may not effectively clean the filter media; additional
cleaning practices may be necessary.
This study assessed two auxiliary backwash practices:
air scour, and surface wash. The objective of the research
was to determine the differences in filter effluent water
quality, media cleanliness, and costs between sand filters
employing air scour and those employing surface wash.
Practical Aspects
of UV Disinfection
Many key barriers to UV
implementation have been
eliminated in recent years.
However, practical
implementation barriers
still exist. This study addresses
many of those barriers by
evaluating long-term performance

systems. The report also developed
a decision-making tool to assist
utilities in selecting the appropriate,
site-specific technology for the

Fluence Monitoring in UV Disinfection Systems:
Development of a Fluence Meter
Guus F. IJpelarr, Danny Harmsen, Charles M. Sharpless, Karl G. Linden, Joop C. Kruithof
Ultraviolet (UV) light has become a widespread and accepted technology for disinfecting drinking
water. UV fluence (dosing) must be continuously monitored to assure that adequate disinfection
is occurring. Fluence monitoring is currently achieved with UV sensors, but such sensors can
be inaccurate, break down easily, and must be recalibrated frequently.
This report describes the development of a method that may be more accurate and reliable
than UV sensors. Dubbed the fluence meter, the monitoring system is based on the measurement
of the chemical nitrite in water leaving the UV reactor. The report describes data requirements for
a UV fluence meter and explains how variables such as water quality affect nitrite formation.

Utility Management
Avoiding Rate Shock:
Making the Case for Water Rates
For most water utilities facing a rate increase, the biggest problem is gaining
public support. This new report will help water utility rate makers build
support from the public for a water rate increase by using a well-planned,
comprehensive, public communications effort.
This report explains how to
n communicate the benefits of increased investment in drinking
water infrastructure;
n evaluate rate structures and special fees, revised customer
classifications, alternative billing periods, and other practices
that may be acceptable to ratepayers and achieve your revenue goals
n use an 8-step sequence for rate planning that will optimize the chance
of success in getting a rate increase approved
Avoiding Rate Shock: Making the Case for Water
Rates includes case studies of a dozen utilities
across the US. Youll learn how they achieved their
rate increases and about the key lessons they
learned in the process. The report includes sample
brochures, fact sheets, newsletters, and presentations
that will help you create a comprehensive public
communications program.
ISBN 1583213341.
Avoiding Rate Shock: Making the Case for Water
Rates is a breakthrough event for the cause of
sustainable infrastructure financing because it
highlights the role of strategic communications
planning in the cause of full-cost pricing, especially
in the political environment in which public systems
must operate. I found the publication to be a wise
and informative document, which should be
mandatory reading for all water system managers.

fire hydrants, valves, and other heavy materials and equipment used every day.
Safety must be stressed when employees are working around these potentially
dangerous items, as well as around the forklifts and other equipment used to
move them. Personal protection, lifting systems, chaining and slinging, storage,
loading and unloading are covered in this program.
Safety First: Indoor
Crane Operation
Employees will learn how to inspect
indoor cranes for proper operation,
understand the design and operation
of indoor cranes, see proper rigging and
lifting techniques in action, understand
how to balance a load and make sure
it is safe to lift, learn standard hand
signals for communication between the
crane operator and the rigger, and watch
special techniques for safely lifting
chlorine containers and other types
of loads.

Get fast, accurate solutions to virtually any day-to-day mechanical engineering problem. In
choosing the procedures and worked-out problems to be included in this handbook, the editor and
authors used a number of guidelines: (1) what are the most common applied problems that must be
solved in this discipline? (2) What are the most accurate methods for solving these problems? (3) What
other problems might be met in this discipline? When the answers to these and other related questions
were obtained, the procedures and worked-out problems were chosen. Thus, the handbook represents a
cross section of the thinking of a large number of experienced practicing engineers, project directors, and
educators.

Water Conservation-Oriented
Rates: Strategies to Extend
Supply, Promote Equity,
and Meet Minimum Flow
Levels
Young-Doo Wang, William James Smith, Jr.,
John Byrne
Water conservation-oriented rates can
reduce the consumption of water. Water conservation-oriented
rates are an effective tool for reducing water use in states and cities that
are faced with drought, shrinking water supplies, or other reasons to
conserve water. This report discusses the most common types of water
conservation-oriented rates, including drought demand rates, excess use
rates or excess surcharges, inclining block rates, and seasonal rates. The
book explores implementation issues, economic issues for the utility and
the consumer (especially low-income consumers), advantages and
disadvantages, for which customer groups or situations each rate type
is suitable, and real-world utility experiences with these types of rates.

Case Studies in Source Water Protection
Source water protection is the critical first step in the multibarrier
approach to safe drinking water. The quality of source water is sub-
ject to threats both from nature and from human activities. Natural
threats include fire and contamination. In general, natural factors
cannot be controlled. Human threats can be categorized as point or
nonpoint sources. It is the operators responsibility to minimize harm
from both natural and human threats. Source protection is
important to all water suppliers for economic reasons as well: the
cleaner the source water, the lower the cost of treatment and the
better the finished water quality. Case Studies in Source Water
Protection reviews extremely difficult challenges affecting water
utilities in Colorado, Washington, Texas, and Philadelphia by both
natural and human-caused contamination of their water sources,
as well as the actions each utility is taking to clean up and
protect its water sources.

Climate Change and Water Resources:
A Primer for Municipal Water Providers
Kathleen Miller, David Yates, National Center for Atmospheric Research
There is a great deal of misunderstanding surrounding the subject of climate
change. This book attempts to dispel some of the confusion by summarizing the
best available scientific evidence on climate change, including both natural changes
and changes that may be caused by human causes. In particular, this primer focuses
on what is known about the implications of climate change for the water cycle and the
availability and quality of water resources. The goals of this primer are to (1) introduce
water quality managers to the science of climate change; (2) suggest the types of impacts
it can have on water resources; and (3) provide guidance on planning and adaptation
strategies. Includes CD-ROM.

Centrifugal Pumps
Water operators need to have a basic
understanding of centrifugal pumps,
the most common pump used in
municipal water systems. This video
describes the advantages and
disadvantages of centrifugal pumps.
It explains the operating principle
of centrifugal pumps. It describes
maintenance procedures for
packing, seals, adjustment, bearings,
shutdown and startup, recordkeeping,
and troubleshooting. The video
illustrates several pump types:
end-suction, split-case, vertical turbine,
submersible, and line-shaft turbine.

Turbidity Measurement
and Particle Counting
Turbidity must be removed from
drinking water in the treatment process.
Turbidity in drinking water is a regulated
substance and utilities are required
to comply with these regulations.
Turbidimeters and particle counters,
instruments that measure and analyze
turbidity, help operators monitor turbid-
ity before, during, and after the filtration
process. This video explains how these
instruments work and demonstrates
their use, operation, and calibration.
No. 64097
It is far less expensive for a utility to protect its source waters from
contamination than it is for them to remove contaminants from water.
This video discusses general source water protection with a focus on point
and nonpoint pollution. It looks at different types of contaminants and
discusses how protecting the source helps make water treatment easier
and less expensive.

Benchmarking allows you to make apples-to-apples comparisons of your water or
wastewater utility with others in key operational and management areas. Benchmarking
identifes your utilitys strengths and weaknesses as compared to other similar utilities
across the countryand that is the frst step to making your utility even better.
There are many ways for your utility to tap into the benchmarking program:
n Participate in the 2007 data collection at no cost to you.
Participating utilities receive a free individualized statistical summary to use to measure
their utilitys performance and effciency.
Data collection begins in March 2007.
To participate, contact Angela Lafferty at alafferty@awwa.org or 303.734.3427.
n Not ready to collect data? No problembeneft from one of the leading-edge
reports on benchmarking.
One year of survey data is available in The Annual Benchmarking Performance

Wastewater Microbiology: A Handbook for Operators
Toni Glymph
Wastewater treatment is a microbiological process. Microorganisms, such as bacteria
and protozoa, do the actual breakdown and removal of nutrients and organic mate-
rial in the wastewater. A wastewater treatment plant operators job is to control this
biological process. That is why wastewater operators need to understand basic micro-
biology, as well as the types of microorganisms that are used in the treatment of
sewage, and how the microbes do their job in the wastewater treatment process.
Chapters cover wastewater treatment
system overview, general microscopy,
bacteria, protozoa, metazoans, filamen-
tous bacteria, and microbiology and process control.
Includes glossary of terms and color photographs of microorganisms
on CD-ROM.
A very user-friendly text packed with
understandable and useful information.
A superb job.
