AWWA-64276 Managing Water Storage Tanks: A Key to Water Quality

Managing Water Storage Tanks: A Key to Water Quality shows the owners, managers and operators of finished water storage facilities how to overcome these problems through proper operations and maintenance.

The water storage system is a critical component in the multiple-barrier approach to safeguarding water supplies. Storage facilities have a significant effect on the quality of water that flows through the distribution system and on to the customer’s tap. Unfortunately, storing water can also lead to the degradation of a water supply. Excessive water age causes problems such as microbial growth and chemical changes in the water.  

In the past, many water providers focused primarily on source water and treatment, but they now acknowledge that distribution and storage of finished water also account for a significant number of water quality problems. Managing Water Storage Tanks: A Key to Water Quality shows the owners, operators, and managers of finished water storage facilities how to overcome these problems through proper operations and maintenance.
