Updated EPA AWOP Webpage
EPA has recently updated its AWOP website with multiple new materials. These new materials include the Generating High-Quality Turbidity Data in Drinking Water Treatment Plants to Support System Optimization and Monitoring, which is a document that describes the common turbidimeter setups and associated Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems used in drinking water treatment plants and identifies “best practices” approaches to help ensure data quality.
A DBP optimization webpage has also been added. This webpage includes several study protocols and links to the ASDWA DBP webinar series. The studies include the Distribution System Influent Hold Study and the Tank Assessment, as well as the supporting spreadsheets.
