Water Quality Control in Distribution Systems

Meet municipal water quality standards while reducing capital spending.

Your community depends on you to deliver high-quality drinking water to consumers every day. The growing number and diversity of municipal water quality standards and regulatory requirements add complexity and costs to your mission.

USG provides in-tank municipal water quality technologies, pipe cleaning and relining, and water storage tank cleaning services to help you cost-effectively maintain the quality of treated water in your distribution system.

Prevent Thermal Stratification, Tank Freezing, and a Deterioration Of Water Quality With In-Tank Mixers

As the water in a storage tank ages, levels of residual disinfectant can drop, and the tank can stratify, allowing bacterial growth to occur and increasing public health risks. Warmer temperatures can lead to disinfectant loss and ammonia buildup, creating nitrification. Freezing temperatures can lead to ice formation and significant tank damage. USG installs and services in-tank water mixers to help operators meet AWWA and EPA regulations and maintain the quality of treated water in the distribution system.

About In-Tank Mixers

Comply With EPA’s Disinfection By-Products (DBP) Rules By Installing a Trihalomethane Removal System in Your Storage Tank

Because of health risks associated with long-term consumption of disinfection by-products such as trihalomethanes, the EPA has established rules limiting DBP levels in drinking water. USG provides a turnkey solution, which includes designing, engineering, and installing a THM removal system to keep total trihalomethane levels in your storage tank within applicable limits.

Maintain Minimum Residual Levels in the Distribution System and Meet Regulatory Compliance With the Monoclor® Residual Control System

Traditional operational procedures to manage disinfectant levels in the distribution network are costly and time-consuming.
USG can assist by installing and maintaining an automated Monoclor® RCS chloramine management system, which helps set, control, and proactively maintain residual levels in water storage tanks.
