Keep your community’s drinking water safe and compliant by reducing disinfection byproducts from your water tank and distribution system.
DBP Challenges
Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) form when disinfectants react with natural organic matter, leaving drinking water susceptible to carcinogens. If left unmanaged, DBP levels can rise in water storage tanks and create multiple risks for utilities:
Public Health Concerns:
Some DBPs may be carcinogenic.
Accumulation in Tanks:
Older tanks or stagnant water areas may accumulate more DBPs.
Regulatory compliance:
High levels of DBPs violate EPA standards and regulations.
This can leave water utilities with compromised drinking water quality and tens of millions of dollars worth of needed plant upgrades — a risk no water utility can afford to take.
USG’s water tank disinfection byproduct reduction solutions, backed by our extensive expertise, offer a tank-focused, cost-effective solution for managing DBPs, maintaining EPA compliance, and ensuring water flows safely in your community.

Loudoun County’s Water Quality Turnaround
Loudoun County is one of the largest and fastest-growing counties in the northern tip of the Commonwealth of Virginia. They source their water from the Potomac River and Goose Creek to provide chloraminated drinking water to over 65,000 households. However, nitrification became a persistent problem, particularly during the warm summer months.
With USG’s help, Loudoun County eliminated recurring nitrification, simplified operations, reduced costs, and ensured consistent, compliant water quality using a residual control system.
