  10. AWOP • The Lebanon Water Works has met the goals for the Microbial AWOP in the Past • Since 2016, Lebanon Water Work has placed more emphasis on DBP reduction by setting goals for both their system as well as Marion County Water District (Half the regulatory limit for Lebanon & ¾ for Marion) • What works for Microbial AWOP may not work for Disinfectants & DBP AWOP

  11. Keys to Success for DBP’s- Increased Filter Cleaning

  12. Keys to Success for DBP’s- Increased Clearwell Cleaning

  13. Keys to Success for DBP’s- Knowing Your Numbers • In the past we took 1 TOC reading per month • In Oct 2018, Lebanon Water Works installed an online TOC analyzer in their lab • Now we take a TOC reading on our raw source and CFE every hour • More data allows us to better select our source to treat • This data allows us to utilize chemical combinations to optimize TOC removal

  14. TOC’s – 1 Sample Per Month may not be Representative

  15. Disinfection & DBP AWOP Program Recommendations from the Utility Perspective • The current goal requires CFE TOC to be less than or equal to 1.7 on a monthly basis • Recommendation is that if a utility has an online TOC monitor, average all of the readings for the month and assign that value as the monthly value

  16. Weighing the Options- What are the Organizations Goals? • It’s a balancing act and a team effort to meet AWOP Goals. Lebanon Water has made a commitment to focus on DBP AWOP Goals. Its challenging managing multiple sources. We are not meeting the program goals yet but collecting more data has us well on our way.

  17. In Review- Tell Them What You Told Them • Optimization is not a Straight Forward Path Especially When Trying to Master Multiple Areas • Collect More Data. Install an online TOC Machine. Monthly data is not adequate • Lebanon used UV 254 data in the past and could not establish a correlation to TOC • Clean your system frequently. Eliminate chlorine demands • Optimization is an ongoing team effort. Push each team member for excellence • Managing multiple water sources is difficult. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again
