This authoritative volume offers comprehensive coverage of the design and construction of municipal water and wastewater facilities. The book addresses water treatment in detail, following the flow of water through the unit processes and coagulation, flocculation, softening, sedimentation, filtration, disinfection, and residuals management. Each stage of wastewater treatment--preliminary, secondary, and tertiary--is examined along with residuals management.

As communities throughout the United States increasingly turn to water reclamation to supplement their water supplies, more and more local agencies are required to develop manuals to train property managers, landscape supervisors, gardeners, and others on the use of reclaimed water. The purpose of this manual is to help these agencies quickly bring their staff up-to-speed on the safe operation of a commercial water reclamation program. The manual is not intended to be a one-size-fits-all document.

This edition of the Case Studies report shows how communities have found success by looking at a menu of options for alternative water supplies. The El Paso Water Utilities and the Inland Empire Utilities Agency, for example, are using both water reuse and brackish groundwater desalination in novel ways to achieve a sustainable water supply. This publication also offers an international perspective through a review of the Singapore NEWater project, which provides reclaimed water for both nonpotable and indirect potable reuse.

This book provides guidance on water reuse projects for the public utility professional.

This manual will help agencies quickly bring their staff up-to-speed on the safe operation of a commercial water reclamation program. The manual is not intended to be a one-size-fits-all document. Instead, it is designed to allow agencies to adapt its contents to their specific needs by simply including those items that apply and leaving out those that do not.
