Pattison, Philip L.
Full Description
As standards for water quality are constantly improving, the public is demanding higher quality water and better service. Flushing should be a part of every utility's regular maintenance program to ensure that water quality does not diminish after water flows from the source of supply into the pipe network. The importance of public relations, planning, and scheduling is discussed. Chemical control, corrosion control, chlorine residual and flushing procedures are also covered.
