In 2016, EPA’s Office of Research and Development (ORD) and Office of Water (OW) will host monthly webinars to discuss challenges and treatment solutions for small drinking water and wastewater systems.

First, Jonathan G. Pressman will review the history of distribution system chlorine monitoring siting, overview the diversity of state regulations/guidance, present a case study demonstrating an evaluation of chlorine monitoring locations in a distribution system, and present residual disinfectant concentration versus coliform/E. coli data from EPA’s recently released third Six-Year Review.
Then, Matthew Alexander will describe how to develop a monitoring plan that is representative of the overall distribution system, collect samples to accurately characterize water quality, and understand interferences and limitations of commonly used field methods.

A certificate for one continuing education contact hour will be offered for this webinar. Please indicate in the registration if you are interested in receiving a certificate of attendance for the webinar.
