WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM
BASIC OPERATIONS
Prepared by RCAP Solutions
For PADEP
Introduction
Basics of Water Supply
1
Drinking Water Sources
Surface Water
Groundwater
2
Surface Water: Advantages
Easily accessible
Large volumes of water
Surface reservoirs for storage
3
Surface Water: Disadvantages
Exposure to contaminants
Expensive filtration
4
Groundwater: Advantages
Less treatment
Consistency
Availability
5
Groundwater: Disadvantages
Chemical contamination
Hardness
Multiple wells
Location
6
Groundwater Treatment Processes
7
Groundwater Treatment Processes
Not very complex
Mainly disinfection
Covered later
8
Surface Water Treatment Processes
9
Racks and Screens
10
Racks and Screens
Prevent debris
Pipes and pumps
Straining pasta
11
Mixing
12
Mixing
Coagulant
Suspended particles
13
Coagulation and Flocculation
14
Coagulation and Flocculation
Reduces solids
Prevents bacterial “hiding”
Like making cheese
15
Sedimentation
16
Sedimentation
Presedimentation
Basins
Solids loading reduction
Sludge removal
17
Filtration
18
Filtration
Solids and floc removal
Physical
Chemical
Biological
19
Types of Filtration
Slow Sand
Conventional Filtration
20
Types of Filtration
Direct Filtration
Diatomaceous Earth
21
Types of Filtration
Membrane Filtration
Bag and Cartridge Filters
22
Disinfection
23
Disinfection
Disease-causing organisms
Chlorine
Ozone and Ultraviolet Radiation
24
Disinfection: Chlorine
Chlorine Gas
Sodium Hypochlorite
25
Disinfection: Chlorine
Calcium Hypochlorite
Chlorine may form carcinogens
26
Disinfection: Ultraviolet Light
Penetrates most cell walls
No toxic residuals
Short contact times; easy to operate
Unsuitable for some water sources
27
Disinfection: Ozone
O3
Shorter contact time
Capital costs
O&M
28
Other Typical Treatment Processes
Iron and manganese removal
Corrosion control
These are source dependent
29
Iron and Manganese Removal
Various techniques
Aeration
Sequestration
Ion exchange
30
Corrosion Control
Prevents degradation
Adjust water characteristics
31
Exercise
Exercise!!!
Complete the fill-in-the blank questions
32
Distribution System Facilities
Pumps
Storage facilities
Transmission mains
Valves and hydrants
Meters
33
Pumps
Provide lift
Do not generally create pressure
Major part of O&M costs
34
Storage Facilities
Clear wells
Stand pipes
Elevated storage tanks
35
Clear Wells
36
Clear Wells
Large concrete reservoirs
Constant rate of operation
37
Stand Pipes
Located on the ground
Require little maintenance
38
Elevated Storage Tanks
Supporting structures
Use gravity
Filled in off-peak hours
39
Transmission Mains
System Design
Branching systems
Loop or grid systems
40
Transmission Mains
Materials
Cast iron
Ductile iron
Plastic (polyvinylchloride – PVC)
41
Valves and Hydrants
Valves
Wet barrel hydrants
Dry barrel hydrants
42
Meters
Throughout the system
Used for billing and to identify loss
Lowers usage
Replacement program
43
