Potable, wastewater, irrigation and sludge governed as four grades of one resource.
Overview
Most public health failures around water are a barrier between two of its states quietly collapsing. This guideline is the international edition of source regulation PHC-C-15, aligned with the WHO Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality and its water safety plan framework and with the WHO guidelines for the safe use of wastewater. It turns those barriers into operating rules.
The potable side is written as a chain of barriers running back from the point of use; the used side takes wastewater, irrigation and sludge reuse, with vector and ponding control. Monthly reporting, sampling, calibration, incident response and audit close what is one editable reference document.
What it covers
- Potable water at the point of use — standards, chlorine residual and turbidity
- Distribution integrity, cross-connection control, storage tanks and the transportation of potable water with chlorination on filling
- Disinfection of new and repaired mains and of storage tanks by high- and low-concentration methods
- Wastewater collection, the 250-metre rule, prohibited discharges, treatment and effluent monitoring
- Irrigation water criteria, the marked distribution system, application restrictions, signage, tanker marking and the conditions for sludge reuse
Who it's for
Water and wastewater utility operators, municipal engineers, irrigation and reuse scheme managers, tanker operators and the environmental health inspectors who examine them. An audit, a reuse scheme going live or a residual failure is the usual trigger, and the outcome is one rulebook holding supply, effluent and irrigation to a single discipline.
