Municipal Drinking Water
Providing safe drinking water for communities today is challenging for several reasons. Communities are asked to meet increasing demands for water with limited supply and treatment capacity, protect the water from contamination, and follow continually changing regulatory requirements.
To meet these demands, municipal treatment facilities must monitor water quality parameters closely and be aware of any changes in the water system.
The primary function of these facilities is to provide water that is safe to drink by removing contaminants and destroying harmful organisms in source water. In addition, water is treated to improve taste, odor, and appearance. Chemicals may be added to reduce corrosiveness or scaling, or to soften the water. Fluoride is often added to prevent dental decay.
Groundwater typically contains few organisms and low turbidity but high dissolved minerals. Surface water, on the other hand, generally contains many organisms and high turbidity, but low dissolved minerals. Each water source requires different treatment to some extent to provide as efficient a process as possible.
