(13)

ATTACHMENT III

THE IMPLEMENTATION OF INTERNAL SUPERVISION OVER THE QUALITY OF DRINKING WATER BY DRINKING WATER SUPPLIERS

In order to guarantee the quality of drinking water which is produced, suppliers are obliged to supervise continuously and in a sustainable manner so that the quality of the produced water is guaranteed. For the purpose, several parameters whose frequency is independent on the volume of water produced by drinking water suppliers through a pipeline system need to be supervised internally.

Volume, Production of water/M3/year/branch

Test for monitoring disinfectants in every

reservoir/station of chlorination (1) (3)

Minimal routine test in pipeline

Test for every reservoir minimally once per

week

Minimal test for raw water minimally twice

per year, by season

< 200.000 M3 Chlor remainder =

minimally 1X per day

1. pH = 1X per week 1. pH 1. Total/Fecal coli

2. DHL = 1X per year 2. DHL 2. DO

3. Turbidity 1 X per year

3. Alkalinity 3. Organic substance

(KmnO4) 4. Organoleptic 1X per

day

4. Total hardness 4. Alkalinity

5. Chlor remainder 1 x per day (in the furthest point)

5. CO2 5. Total hardness (mg/l

CaCo3)

6. Temperature 6. PH

7. Fe & Manganese, if problem comes

7. CO2

8. Temperature

> 200.000 M3 Chlor remainder =

minimally 1 x per day

1. pH 1. pH 9. DHL

2. DHL 2. DHL 10. Fe, Manganese in

problem

3. Turbidity 3. Alkalinity

4. Total coliforms/E.Coli

4. Total hardness

5. Chlor remainder/ORP (2) (No. comes 1 up to No. 5 = 1 smp/15.000 M3)

5. CO2

6. Al 1X per month (if Al is used as floculant)

6. Temperature

7. Fe & Manganese, if problems comes

Remark :

(1) In order to ascertain the efficient chlorination process before distribution.

(2) In the case of routine examination, Chlor remainder can be replaced partly by the measuring of ORP only if relations between chlor remainder and ORP have been proven and calibrated routinely, by sources of water. (3) Effective if chlor is used as disinfectant, if not, sample of free chlor is replaced to become additional

(14)

Steps to guarantee the quality of drinking water by drinking water suppliers through pipeline system are, among others :

a) To improve and maintain the quality of water in accordance with the directives provided by health service on the basis of results of examination.

b) To maintain pipe line networks from leakage and to make efforts to overcome water corosifity in pipeline networks routinely.

c) To help officers of local health service supervise the quality of water by providing facility for the officers to enter places where the supervision tasks are executed.

d) To record result of examination of every water sample, which covers intake of sample (resettlement, road, house no, sampling point), time of sample taking, analytical results of laboratory examination, including the applied method and deviation from parameters.

e) To send duplicate record to local health service. The file of the document is saved for five years as the minimum.
