Page Content

Water quality refers to the chemical, physical, and biological properties of water. Water quality requires management from source to tap, and certain standards are enforced to protect public health.

Hypochlorite Assessment Model

This predictive modeling tool  provides guidance on the expected levels of perchlorate and chlorate in stored bulk hypochlorite solutions. The calculations are based on predictive algorithms derived from earlier research on the subject and local, user-defined inputs (e.g., storage conditions, ionic strength, ambient temperature).

The output is intended to help utilities determine the appropriate storage-time/life-cycle for the hypochlorite solution based on the expected rate of degradation and contaminant formation. Such a tool will better enable utilities to manage supply and/or take other countermeasures to mitigate further degradation that could cause an exceedance of a regulated contaminant standard.

They are written by consensus, subject to review and comment by AWWA committees, councils, and members.
