The Treatment Plant Optimization Program has Four Steps:
Phase I: Commitment
An honest commitment is required so that utilities are fully engaged in the optimization process.
Phase II: Baseline & Annual Data Collection
Baseline and annual data is submitted for inclusion in the Partnership for Safe Water's annual report and to measure improvement.
Phase III: Self-Assessment
The Phase III Self-Assessment Completion Report is the basis for the Directors Award and reviewed by treatment plant optimization experts.
Phase IV: Fully Optimized System
Phase IV recognizes the highest level of optimization with exclusive Excellence in Water Treatment Award, and the Presidents Award, recognizing progress towards full optimization.
Reporting Data
Treatment plants are required to report turbidity data and optimization information as part of the program's Annual Reporting process.
