Rural Development Undersecretary Dallas Tonsager.”
President Doug Anderton was also awarded the prestigious Man of the Year award. “It’s
not every year that we present the Man/Woman of the Year award. It is a prestigious award
given to individuals who have dedicated their lives and their work to making Rural Water the
best it can be,” Watson said. “He’s worked in Rural Water since 1971 and during his career
has served as a board member for his state association since 1990, serving on countless
committees and served as their president, as well.”
The North Carolina Rural Water Association won awards for Outstanding Achievement
in Communications, Publications and Public Relations and Outstanding Achievement in
Training. The association’s new “Did you know” postcard campaign drew particular interest
for its creativity and effectiveness. “They recently started a postcard campaign that asks
the question, “Did You Know Rural Water Provides…” and then insert a different message
each month,” Watson explained.
The Rural Water Association of Utah won the award for Outstanding Achievement in Legislative Initiatives. Utah wrote their state’s legal definition of a Public Water System, allowing
Private Non Profit systems to be treated more equally in the regulatory process. “They
participated in the writing and passage of the Rural Water Supply Act which facilitates the
conversion of water to drinking water in Bureau of Reclamation projects,” Watson said.
The Alabama Rural Water Association won the award for Outstanding Achievement in
Member Services. “Alabama represents 90% of the permitted water and wastewater systems in their State, and there is no scenario in which their member system’s operation or
management cannot be improved through the use of a free and always available member
services,” Watson said.
Awards are selected from the 49 state associations that submitted applications. Each submission was evaluated and scored by members of the awards committee with the names
and locations redacted to ensure anonymity. The members of the awards committee are
Phillip Combs, Tennessee; Steve Fletcher, Illinois; Paul Fulgham, Utah; Lance Hoyt, Washington; Dannie McMillan, Colorado; and Henry Meyer, Atlantic States.

A review of the...
2014 FRWA Annual Conference
This year’s Annual Conference was held at the beautiful Wyndham Orlando Resort. From the first tee off at
the Carl Hongell Golf Tournament until the last CEU form that was submitted, attendees were offered training
and networking opportunities that were helpful to new employees as well as seasoned veterans.
The annual “Carl Hongell Memorial Golf Tournament” that was held at the Falcon’s Fire Golf Club. Although
the Florida sun was streaming down, the fifty-two golfers enjoyed both the game and the networking opportunities. Many thanks to our sponsors for their donations to the Curtis E Lloyd scholarship fund. See page 9 for
additional information.
Monday evening’s Hospitality Social provided an atmosphere for all to enjoy with the Florida Rural Water Association board members on hand. If you missed the opportunity to speak to them, be sure to attend next
year’s event and introduce yourself.
A great big “Thank You” to this year’s exhibitors who once again exceeded all expectations! Our membership
were able to see the “latest and greatest” that the industry has to offer. The Exhibitor Social provided a great
time to “rub elbows” with vendors who displayed some of the finest products in the water-wastewater industry.
For a list of our Exhibitors, see page 21.
Our pre-conference and regular conference sessions further enhanced the environment through education
and promoted the many options available to system personnel. Our attendees had the potential to earn 1.5
CEU’s toward their licenses. Our speakers went above and beyond for FRWA and attendees. A special thanks
to our FRWA field and office staff; who labored many hours to bring this event to life.
The annual Awards Luncheon on Tuesday gave attendees the opportunity to meet the best in the industry as
the FRWA Annual Awards were prestented. For a information on this year’s winners see pages 14-16. Congratulations to our ten year members (for a complete list, see page 19), twenty year members (for a complete
list, see page 18), and thirty year members (for a complete list, see page 17).. FRWA greatly appreciates the
continued support of our long time membership.
Congratulations to Chumuckla Water System, the winner of The Best Tasting Water Contest. This qualifies
them to participate in the Great American Taste Contest sponsored by National Rural Water Association in
February. For more information on the contest see page 10.
We would like to thank our members for their support and dedication, we realize that our association is driven
and supported by our members, thank you again for your continued support. As we together move forward into
the future, make your plans now to attend next year’s Annual Technical and Training Conference as we return
to the Daytona Beach Hilton in beautiful Daytona Beach. The Conference will be held on August 10-12, 2015.
See you there!

2014 Special Recognition Award....
Van Hoofnagle
Mark Thomasoson, DEP Water Resource Management and Representative Charles Van Zant presented the award
to Van Hoofnagle in recognition of his excellent leadership capabilities as a long time friend of FRWA.
The Florida Rural Water Association’s coveted Special Recognition Award was presented to Van
Hoofnagle this year at our Annual Awards Luncheon. Representative Charles Van Zant and Mark
Thomasson, DEP Water Resource Management did the “honors”. Van has been a long time friend
of Florida Rural Water and will be greatly missed upon his retirement. I don’t think that anyone can
say it any better than his peers, Josie Penton and John Pope that submitted the following nomination:
“Van Hoofnagle became the State Drinking Water Administrator for the Florida Department of Environmental Protection in 1992. He took a State drinking water program that was in its relative
infancy and successfully guided it through major revisions of the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act
and the associated State rule revisions. He also has been an active member of the Association of
State Drinking Water Administrators (ASDWA) and served as its president for a term.
Highly respected and admired throughout the State by regulators and water system representatives alike, Van is known for his grasp of highly technical and ever-evolving drinking water rule
requirements and issues, his impeccable public speaking skills, but mostly for his excellent leadership capabilities. Van has been a mainstay at the annual Focus on Change seminars and can be
counted upon to provide entertaining, insightful talks on a variety of “wet” topics that tend to be on
the “dry” side.
Van will be retiring from the Florida DEP this December and will be greatly missed by all who have
come to know him.”
Thank you Van from FRWA and best of luck in your future endeavors.

For Water and Wastewater Projects...
MANAGING
CONSTRUCTION
Sterling Carroll PE
FRWA Engineer
Do you have a new capital construction project in mind? Does your system need a
new elevated storage tank, wellfield, or wastewater plant expansion? How do you
start? And what are the steps along the way? Here are a few suggestions to help
you plan your project.
This checklist is written for the owner or the owner’s project manager. The
owner is the entity (community, utility, etc.) that has conceived of; is overseeing the
water / wastewater project design, permitting and construction; and will own it after
construction is complete. There are unique responsibilities within the project that
the Project Manager / Owner must handle.
The Five Major Project Stages. Water and wastewater construction
projects involve a significant monetary investment, time, and effort.
The resources available to the construction manager include funding agencies, engineering
firms, contractors, fiscal agents, grant consultants, attorneys, and others. The construction
manager uses these resources to build public works through a multi-step process while
minimizing risks, delays, and cost overruns.

Planning
Design & Permitting
Bidding & Award
Construction
Post-Construction
Step 1 ~ Planning. This stage often takes 12-months to complete, mostly as a result of
funding.
a. Project Conception – Every project starts with an idea or vision. Maybe the FDEP has
you under Consent Order or perhaps you have failing infrastructure that needs urgent
attention.
Compose a concise and clear project summary. The summary or scope should
include: 1) a description of the problem the project will address; 2) description
of your existing utility system; 3) the service area and demographics; 4) a list of
project expectations; 5) regulatory issues; and 6) measures of success.
b. Conceptual Costs Estimate – How much will this project cost? Have you included all
elements? These estimates can be provided by engineers or contractors. The estimates
should include all possible project costs, such as planning, land acquisition, engineering
design, permitting, construction, grant administration, startup, etc. FRWA Engineers are
available to help with cost estimates, just call us!
c. Alternative Evaluation and Selection – It is important to consider all your options and
factors. Pick the best alternative for your system and for the long-term. The selected
alternative should address the problem not treat the symptom.
d. Capital Improvements Program (CIP) – A grouping of projects in the conceptual stage
can be organized into a capital improvements program. The CIP is a list of projects (needs
and estimates) that are prioritized by working on the most critical project first based on
Water Writes
Continued on Page22
21
available funding. This list is updated at least annually. The CIP is a strong decisionmaking tool for prioritizing projects that you most need first.
e. Funding – The next step will be finding funding sources that your project may be
eligible to receive. Expect to find a combination of loans and grants. Possible sources
include USDA Rural Development, FDEP State Revolving Fund, Florida Small Cities
Community Development Block Grant Program, US Department of Commerce, Economic
Development Administration (EDA), Department of Economic Opportunity Rural
Infrastructure Fund, Water Management District, banks, etc. When evaluating potential
project funding sources, consider the following:
Does your project meet the criteria for any of these funding source?
Is your system eligible? To be eligible for most funding sources your system needs
to be a public body (municipality, county, authority, or special district) or a nonprofit
corporations. We encourage systems to consider converting into a non-profit IRC
501(c)(4) entity.
Will funds be available to meet your project’s time constraints? Will waiting for
grant funds be offset by increases in project costs due to inflation?
Is the project affordable to the utility’s users? At times, a low-interest loan results
in lower monthly user charges than a mix of grant and loans at higher interest
rates. Distrust any consultant that claims they can get you 100% grants. Only the
funding agencies can determine grant/loan ratios and the day of free money is
going the way of the Dodo Bird.
What is the impact of each funding source on the user charge (rates)? This user
charge is designed to guarantee the lender that you will have sufficient revenues
to repay the loan.
Does a particular funding source require additional engineering or other special
studies that outweigh the benefits of the funding source?
Are there planning loans or grants available to help you pay for preliminary
engineering?
f. Hire an Engineering Firm – After you have done your homework on funding agencies
it is now time to hire an engineering firm, if you don’t already have one. In some cases,
engineering firms may have expertise in funding and can provide assistance with various
funding sources, see item 1.e above.
Choose the right engineering firm for your project. This is VERY important and
one of the first steps in any construction project. Once selected, the engineer is
involved in nearly every aspect of the project, including identifying alternative
solutions, evaluating financing options, completing designs, obtaining permits,
bidding the project, and the construction.
The Consultants Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA) Title 19, Section 287.055,
Florida Statutes controls how utilities must select and retain professional services
and applies to municipalities, cities, counties, and special districts. Utilities
regulated by the Public Service Commission also must follow set procedures.
While these statutes do not apply to private systems, they do offer a rational and
systematic process.
22
Water Writes
1. Advertise for Engineering Proposals / Statements of Qualifications (use the
FRWA free RFP Template for utilities).
2. Review Firm Qualifications.
3. Shortlist the Three Best Firms.
4. Conduct Telephone Interviews.
5. Check References to Determine the Quality of Past Performance.
6. Rank the Firms.
7. Negotiate the Scope of Work and Compensation.
Check out the FRWA whitepaper to guide you through the process of hiring an
engineering firm, see http://www.frwa.net/manuals/frwa-choosingrightengineer-010207.pdf.
Our engineers and staff can assist you with the selection process including scoring
proposals and interviews.
g. Preliminary Engineering Design – In order to obtain funding you will need a preliminary
engineering report (PER). Preliminary engineering is an extension and refinement of
conceptual costs estimates. The PER focuses the project scope and budget.
Be sure to carefully read and review the PER and direct your consultant toward
the solution that works best for your community.
Consider using FRWA to prepare the preliminary engineering report. It is one of
FRWA’s most valuable services to members available for a reasonable contribution.
Engineering firms are not as interested in keeping project cost modest as they are
paid on a percentage of construction costs – they have little incentive to find the
most reasonably cost solutions.
Permits and Approvals. Have the engineer list all permits and approvals that
MIGHT be needed for construction! Don’t forget FDEP construction permits; water
management permits for wells and dewatering; water body crossings with drainage
districts and FDEP; roadway permits with FDOT, county and city agencies; railroad
crossing permits; US Corp of Engineers for navigable waters; and more.
During the PER process alternatives are more complete considered, refined, and
evaluated. Do not be afraid to tell your engineer that the most expensive option is
not the best fit for your community.
Preliminary Costs Estimate should include all project costs, such as planning, land
acquisition, engineering design, permitting, construction, grant administration,
startup, etc.
o Is the cost estimate valid for 6-months? 12-months? 5-years?
Preliminary Drawings and Design Criteria for the project are often provided in the
PER.
Environmental Reports are required for projects using federal funds. These are
prepared at the same time as the preliminary engineering report and includes
notices and comments through the state clearinghouse. This avoids known
problems that might stop work due to sensitive species, native artifacts, cultural
preservation, protected environments, and so forth.
Continued on Page 24
Water Writes
23
Fiscal impacts are often left out of preliminary engineering reports.
o What is the financial feasibility of the project?
o What level of funding is needed? Do NOT count on 100% grants.
o What rate increases will be necessary?
o What is the cost for delaying the project – inflation and regulatory?
o Has the engineer overestimated the number of customers or design flows?
o What is the estimated annual increase in operating costs for the project?
h. Property Acquisition or Easements – Start as soon as you know where and if property
and easements need to be obtained. These can take many months to negotiate and
purchase – failing to act early has caused many projects to be delayed.
Attorneys and other agents are often hired for property and easement acquisition.
When selecting property for an elevated tank, be sure to check site elevations as it
relates to system operating pressure to minimize tank construction cost. However,
lower cost of property might offset any additional cost relating to tank height.
Consider the impact of community opposition to the project and have a plan of
action to address.
Step 2 ~ Design & Permitting. This stage often takes 6 to 9-months to complete.
Your role as Project Manager / Owner during design is to engage the consultant to generate drawings, specifications and bid documents to build the project as conceptualized. You
review the consultant’s progress at various stages of design, review plans & specs. Put
directions in writing and copy other team members. Meet and coordinate to resolve any
questions that arise. You make sure that the project stays within scope and budget – this
can include reining in the engineer from overdesign. It is your responsibility to monitor the
engineer and determine if the design meets your expectations. You must provide necessary
design approvals – it is very important that you review and thoroughly understand the design.
a. Negotiate the Engineering Scope of Work and Compensation.
Do not agree to exorbitant design expenses. Avoid administrative costs and high
overhead multipliers. You want more indians and less chiefs working on your
project.
Do not allow the project engineer to design a system that is beyond what is needed
or can be afforded, you cannot operate and maintain, or is overdesigned for your
community.
The engineering contract, scope and budget are frequently written by the consultant
and so favors the consultant. Carefully read every word. Ask questions. Details
are important. The scope of work, invoicing, fees, etc. should spell everything out.
Look for items that may not be included in the scope that if added later as a change
order will come at great expense to you.
Unnecessary services are wasteful. Instead of using the engineer’s contract
language consider drafting your own.
b. Engineering contains the following elements: calculations; equipment selection;
engineering drawings; technical specifications; details; bidding requirements; contract
forms; contract conditions (general & supplemental); addenda; etc. Watch for the following
issues:
24
Water Writes
Keep track and document all design expenses. Do not pay more than is actually
complete. If the engineer says they are 50% complete have them provide plans,
specs, and documents to prove that they
are halfway complete; instead of just
spending half the budget.
Provide continuous input during design.
c. Technical Specifications include general
requirements; measurement and payment;
sitework; piping; concrete; masonry; metals; wood
and plastics; thermal and moisture protection;
doors and windows; finishes; pumping & treatment
equipment; furnishings; special construction;

Step 3 ~ Bidding & Award. This stage often takes 60 to 90 days.
During biding your responsibilities as Project Manager / Owner involve:
a. Obtaining approval to bid the project from the governing board and procurement.

Pay quantities on construction projects are usually divided into separate pay groups or items.
Because the contractor pays close attention to pay items in the bid and during construction billing, you can
take advantage of the contractor’s attention on items or issues that are important to you the Owner / Project
Manager!

b. Issuing public bid notices in local newspapers (required for all public entities). You may
send bid requests to prequalified contractors. You can notify construction bulletins such
as Dodge Reports Bulletins. We recommend that the time from notice to bid opening
be 4 to 6 weeks at a minimum – you can shorten the time for less complex projects.
c. Conducting / attending pre-bid conference onsite (more complex projects).
d. Receive questions in writing from contractors and have the engineer issue clarifications
or addenda.
e. Conduct and attend bid opening at your office, often with consultant present. At which
time bids are opened and read. No comments are made at that time.
f. Evaluate Bids with consultant assistance – the lowest responsive bidder is often
selected to construct the project. The lowest cost bidder is not always the lowest
responsive bidder. Purchasing must concur with your findings.
g. Submit a bid evaluation package to the governing body along with your
recommendations.
h. Approval by governing body is required for the Notice of Award to be issued.
Step 4 ~ Construction Construction can take a few weeks or a year to complete.
Do not forget that the engineering consultant and contractor work for you, the Owner!
The consultant prepares the plans & specifications and acts as your representative. The
contractor constructs the project infrastructure to the design parameters established in
contract.
As you manage and control the project; work with both the engineer and contractor. Do not
direct the contractor’s work or provide instructions without the engineer’s input on cost and
impacts.
Be careful as additional work will require additional payment – even minor changes
can be expensive.
Do not release or reduce retainage early – before final completion, see item 4.e. below.
Do not issue verbal orders or approvals.
Do not make changes to the work without complete documentation of cost increase,
savings, time acceleration, or extension. Everyone must sign-off on all change orders
– the Owner, Engineer, and Contractor.
Construction responsibilities of the Project Manager / Owner involve:
a. Executing the Contract. The contractor signs 3 originals and provide construction bond,
insurance, etc. The Owner also signs agreement and one original is given each to the
Owner, Contractor and Engineer.
b. Issuing the Notice to Proceed which defines start date and completion period.
c. Holds the Pre-Construction Meeting which establishes the tone, procedures,
communications, and expectations during construction.

Hydrogen Peroxide Oxidation for
Disinfection By-Products
Sterling Carroll PE
FRWA State Engineer
References and complete paper available online at www.frwa.net.
Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) is chemically water (H2O) with an additional oxygen molecule.
Unlike chlorine, hydrogen peroxide produces no harmful chlorination byproducts. During
the reaction the oxygen molecule is liberated and chemically oxidizes (reduces) impurities
in the raw water. These impurities include iron, sulfur, organics, tannins, color, odor, taste,
etc. As a result hydrogen peroxide is a pre-oxidant for disinfection by-product precursors.
The typical hydrogen peroxide system consists of a chemical injection pump, solution
tank, inline static mixer, and a backwashing filter to remove the oxidized iron, sulfur,
tannins, etc. The filter is necessary to remove the precipitated elements after hydrogen
peroxide treatment, as most of the oxidized particles are very fine. Activated carbon is a
common the filter medium of choice.
Hydrogen Peroxide is uncommon in Florida. Use of hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant
or pre-oxidant is fairly uncommon in Florida -- only six (6) Florida drinking water systems
are using H2O2. It is used more commonly in wastewater collection systems to control
hydrogen sulfide and odors.

Hydrogen peroxide is a de-chlorinating agent so dosing of H2O2 must be carefully controlled or the system will have problems with maintaining a chlorine residual. The particulates formed by H2O2 are very small and tend to pass through most filters. If these are not
completely removed the particles can collect in the distribution system, hot water heaters,
and other quiescent zones -- in the presence of sulfur bacteria H2S can be formed customers can experience black water or odor problems. Iron bacteria can cause grey or red
water problems in the system.
In a July 2010 Florida Water Resources Journal article entitled “Innovative Hydrogen Sulfide Treatment Methods: Moving Beyond Packed Tower Aeration” several options were
discussed -- including hydrogen peroxide.
“For conversion of hydrogen sulfide to sulfate using hydrogen peroxide oxidation,
a stoichiometric ratio of 4.0 to 1.0 is required for water having a pH greater than
8.0 units, but the treatment method has not been demonstrated effectively for treatment of hydrogen sulfide in groundwater. Approximately 12.4 mg/L of potassium
permanganate is required to oxidize 1.0 mg/L of hydrogen sulfide. Both peroxide
and permanganate have been shown to provide complete removal of sulfide but
yield both sulfate and colloidal sulfur as reaction products (Dohnalek 1983).” [emphasis added]
In the article the stoichiometric ratio hydrogen peroxide dose for the oxidation of sulfide is
0.25 mg H2O2 / mg H2S for water having a pH greater than 8.0 units. According to MWH
“Water Treatment Principles and Design” the required hydrogen peroxide dose for the oxidation of sulfide is 1.0 mg H2O2 / mg H2S. The higher dose tends to match what we found
in jar tests and we will use this value for our calculations, see section 6.
We assume that the intention of the comment “hydrogen peroxide oxidation… has not
been demonstrated effectively for treatment of hydrogen sulfide in groundwater,” is to
urge for more research and experimentation, not to rule out peroxide as a viable option.
While it may be undemanding on the designer to choose a treatment scheme based on
frequency of use or even relative popularity this is not a reason to exclude unusual methods from consideration.
It still remains important to demonstrate the peroxide treatment scheme’s effectiveness to
each raw water application. Chemistries of raw waters vary from source to source. Water treatment chemistries and reactions are complex. As a consequence jar testing and
chemical analysis of the raw water are essential to the decision making process. Selecting an appropriate treatment scheme must include all of these factors.
Potential problems with sulfate and colloidal sulfur byproducts from hydrogen peroxide
treatment are somewhat overstated in the article. Firstly the amount of colloidal sulfur
produced is minimal (only a fraction of a pound per day) that is easily removed by filtration. During the jar test the amount and size of particulates were such that most customers might not notice them (if they were not removed by filtration). Secondly the increased
sulfate levels are so low as to be negligible. The secondary drinking water standard
maximum contaminate levels for sulfate level is 250 mg/L -- a mere 2.83 mg/L increase

Disadvantages
Optimum mixing and long reaction / contact times
Incomplete oxidation
Large dosages needed
Turbidity – requires filtration
The four listed disadvantages are not a ringing endorsement for hydrogen peroxide use.
We agree with the first two listed disadvantages.
First, the reaction / contact time is in the range of 20 to 30 minutes.
Second, oxidation is dependent on pH, the lower the pH the better oxidation result. There
is a strong relationship between pH and the three species of sulfur (hydrogen sulfide
gas [H2S], bisulfide [HS1-], and elemental sulfur [S2]). The pH of the raw water is a vital
factor in the treatment of raw water. At the neutral pH of 7.0 half of the dissolved sulfide
species is hydrogen sulfide (gas) and the other half is bisulfide – typical for most of Florida’s ground waters. So removal by peroxide is dependent on pH, see Figure 3.
The third and forth listed disadvantages did not hold up to jar testing.
Third, peroxide dosage was low -- less than 5 mg/L.
Fourth, the resulting turbidity was lower; even considering the formation of micro-bubbles
produced by the peroxide reaction.

Theory of Sulfide Removal using Hydrogen Peroxide.
According to MHW “Water Treatment Principles and Design” the required hydrogen peroxide dose for the oxidation of sulfide is 1.0 mg H2O2 / mg H2S and the required hydrogen
peroxide dose for the oxidation of iron is 0.30 mg H2O2 / mg Fe2+. The reaction between
sulfides and hydrogen peroxide depends greatly on the pH and temperature of the raw
water. The raw water is slightly alkaline, well buffered, pH is 7.6, and will tend to calcify.
The redox reactions are as follows:
H2S + H2O2 è S0 + 2 H2O
2 Fe2+ + H2O2 + 2H+ è 2 Fe3+ + 2 H2O
The H2O2 Dosage Rates are estimated as follows.

this option is effective, inexpensive, and should have greater utility around Florida.

operations shows a lower dose is appropriate.
For this application we started with a 30% H2O2 dose between 3 to 4 mg/L H2O2
Monitoring of Hydrogen Peroxide.
Standard Methods does not list procedures for measuring hydrogen peroxide. USEPA
suggests several methods for hydrogen peroxide analysis including: titration methods;
colorimetric methods; and horseradish peroxidase methods – each with limited working
range, varying accuracy and precision, operator skill level required, and possible interferences.
The Brenntag representative recommended the use of an ORP meter to measure oxidation-reduction potential. This would directly notify us when the oxidation process is complete during jar tests. The ORP millivolt reading of plus 400 MV demonstrates a true oxidant reaction. The literature states that the estimated reaction time for hydrogen peroxide
to convert sulfide to elemental sulfur is in the range of 20 to 30 minutes and we’ll try to
provide for this reaction / contact time within the water treatment plant. Since the resulting solids are almost negligible and will be filtered prior to the point of entry filtering and
reaction time is not a primary design concern (as will be demonstrated by the jar tests).

NRWA Issues Announcement Regarding Ebola
In response to inquires about the ability of Ebola to be spread in drinking water supplies,
the National Rural Water Association is distributing the following resources and information
that conclude Ebola cannot spread through the drinking water supply.
Ebola is not a foodborne, waterborne, or airborne illness (WHO).Ebola spreads in human
populations through human-to-human transmission, through direct contact with infected
bodily fluids including blood, vomit, or feces (WHO). Ebola can’t survive in drinking water
because Ebola infected cells don’t live long inside a liquid that doesn’t have the same salt
concentration as bodily fluids (NPR).Resources:

Can Storage Tank Mixing Reduce Water Age?
Erika Henderson, Director of Research
Pittsburg Tank & Tower
In the past, many water operators thought daily turnover and fluctuation of volume was enough to
mix the water in a storage tank. Today, research and tests are showing more effort may be needed to effectively mix storage tank water and improve water quality. Several water tank features
can contribute to how effective water is mixed and the rate at which it ages.
A tank’s design, daily use, and location in the system should all be considered when deciding the
best action for improving water quality. Tanks with high height to diameter ratio, such as standpipes, are more susceptible to aging surface water because greater water variations can develop
among the many layers. As the distance between surface and bottom water increases, more effort
is required for the bottom layers to reach the distant top layers. Same thing applies when inlet and
outlet pipes are both placed in the bottom ring of a tank: the new incoming water is also the first
to exit the tank while the water on the surface is left to continue aging. However, if the inlet pipe is
extended to allow over-the-top filling, then surface water can be pushed to the bottom and mixed
with incoming water.
“Water quality is a significant concern to water distribution system managers. Disinfection
by-product (DBP) formation is largely dependent on reaction time, and it can continue for
several days within the distribution system. At the same time, disinfectant residual must be
maintained throughout the most remote components of the system to ensure pathogen-free
water. Managing the residence time of water within storage tanks is one practice available
to minimize water age within the distribution system. Water system managers and engineers
should consider the need for circulation of water and residence time management within
storage tanks during the design phase.” AWWA M42
Although, water quality and circulation are often discussed during the design phase, they are
continuing concerns for water operators. Deaths and illnesses occur daily from unhealthy water,
and water operators can lose their license to operate a water system if unhealthy water is found in

their system. Great responsibility comes with being a water operator and many pride themselves on
providing excellent water quality. A popular method for improving water quality is to install a mixing
system. Mixing systems can help prevent aging storage tank water that often leads to stratification,
accumulation of disinfectant by-products, and water quality loss.
Stratification
Stratification occurs when water has become separated into layers. Layers are arranged according
to density, and density differences are created when variations of water temperature or pH exist. The
warmer, less dense, older water sits above the cooler, denser, new water coming in creating layers. The incoming water stays near the bottom and is also the first to exit the tank if an over-the-top
fill has not been installed. The top layer of older water is left to age even further. As water ages, the
quality deteriorates and bacterial growth increases. The bacteria may not cause sample problems in
the warmer months, but may show up when the older, surface water begins to cool and sink to the
bottom in the cooler months.
Water temperature can be checked every five foot during an inspection to help determine whether
stratification is a problem. If stratification is an issue, then a mixing system may be needed. Mixing
systems should be designed according to the tank’s unique dimensions and needs. Most are designed to take the denser, newer water from the bottom and mixing it with the less dense, warmer
surface water. Mixing helps maintain consistent water temperatures and pH levels throughout the
tank thus preventing stratification. However, mixing must occur regularly to prevent reoccurring stratification, sample inconsistences and inaccurate disinfection treatment.
Disinfectant By-Products
Disinfectant decay occurs when chemicals used for disinfection react with other organic material,
organisms, and surfaces. These reactions create carcinogenic disinfectant by-products known as
Trihalomethanes (TTHMs) and halo-acetic acids (HAAs). By-products are present in almost all chlorinated water supplies, but the key is keeping these levels as low as possible. Mixing systems can
help keep these levels low by effectively blending all water with disinfectants increasing the contact
time. When disinfectant contact time is increased less chlorine concentration is needed and thus
fewer by-products are produced.
Maintaining Water Quality
All tanks should be regularly monitored for mixing efficiency, but tanks with low filling cycles, high volume, or at the end of a water system should be monitored more often. These types of tanks may not
only require mixing system upgrades, but may also require more frequent inspections and cleanings
to maintain water quality and reduce aging storage tank water. Mixing systems can help prevent aging surface water, but they must be designed and installed properly to be effective. A reputable tank
company with knowledge and experience in these types of upgrades should be contacted to perform
the work.

It is with profound gratitude and appreciation I send
this letter on behalf of the Town of Mayo. The Florida Rural Water Association has been and continues
to be an invaluable asset to our Town's operations.
This past year Mayo has experienced unprecedented flooding and had it not been for Fred Handy and
Sterling Carroll it would have been total chaos.
They worked tirelessly to find pumps, piping, whatever was needed to help resolve the issue. Mr. Carroll
also helped obtain funding from the legislature to find
a more permanent solution to the flooding problem.
I also would like to mention Jamie Hope and Karen
Milicic who also helped with this issue. This is only
one of many times Florida Rural Water has come to
our aid. If any issue arises help is only a phone call
away. This makes my job a little easier knowing this
kind of expertise is so readily available to our small
community.
Mr. Williams, I would like to thank you personally for
loaning the Town a pump belonging to Florida Rural Water. It absolutely made all the difference to our
residents. It made it possible for them to stay in their
homes by keeping the water out.
Again I thank you for your continued help and support.

Wanted to let you know that your team put together
one of the best conferences I've attended in my 15
years of experience with rural water associations
throughout the East Coast.
I know these events are grueling, time-consuming,
and stressful. The exceptionally positive attitude of
every staff member was especially noteworthy. Most
stopped by my booth or caught me somewhere in the
conference area and made me feel very welcome.
Ben put together an excellent training program and
remained unruffled even when I got my presentation
to him at the last minute. Sterling (Carroll) and Moises (Villalpando) took the time to visit and spend some
extra time with me, which was really valuable. Justin
(Strickland), Jaime (Hope), and John (Radtke) were
all over the place, making sure everyone's needs
were met. Amy even caught me as I was leaving at
the end of the conference to thank me for my participation.
The exhibit hall was well laid out and we got some
good traffic at our booth. And finally, we received a
timely wrap up note from Ben with the attendee list.
An exhibitor couldn't ask for more.
Thank you for producing a worthwhile event for ALL
of your members.

in a community that serves 435 homes, is 87 acres,
and is resident owned. All of these items are the responsibility of the community association. In addition,
we are a 55+ community and many people are on
a budget. From the day I walked through the door,
there has been problems with the main lift station because of poor installation of the pump motors and the
cannibalization of the guide rail system which in turn
has cocked the pump and the vibration has eroded
the base floor. With Allen's help we were able to secure a reputable company to repair all the damage
that has happened over the past year.
We hope you will recognize his dedication to his job
and give him some sort of recognition! A big thank
you to Allen Slater!!

Last month a member of your staff (Jason Southerland) came to check my' master meters at my 4 well
houses. He arrived on time and was very knowledgeable with the equipment he was using. He sent me
my records by email, and mailed me a paper copy.
He informed me of other items that the Association
had to offer to help us with day to day operation. Personally I think he is a asset to the association.
Thanks,

My name is Jason Argraves and I have taken the position as compliance officer for the Loxahatchee River
District here in Jupiter FI. Jamie Hope was here on
Tue. the 28th and gave a great refresher class for the
wastewater "C" license. His knowledge and expertise
went a long way to break down the treatment process
for the guys who attended the class. We would be
happy to be a training location for this area.
We partner with St. Lucie, Martin, Okeechobee, and
Palm Beach counties to provide additional training for
all that are up for the opportunity. Again I just want to
state what an asset Jamie Hope is to your organization and look forward to more of his training classes.
Thank you

We recently contacted Tom Gustafson to request
his assistance at our Board of Director's Meeting regarding a possible rate increase. We asked Tom if
he could attend a meeting because we felt he could
clearly explain matters to the Board, and either come
up with the proof we needed to increase our rates, or,
that we are okay where we're at.
Tom was available to come to the meeting, and what
a great help he was! He crunched numbers, asked
questions, and basically wanted an idea of what
Board Members had in mind for the future. Combining all of those factors, plus more, Tom was able to
provide us with a couple scenarios. With his expertise, our Board reached a decision. We plan to have
our rate increase effective with June 2014 billing,
which, incidentally is our first increase since 2007.
Ozello Water Board Members are so appreciative of
Tom's time and knowledge, and want to thank him for
his guidance concerning the rates. They have already
discussed asking Tom back around the same time
next year to be sure we are in the area we should be
with our rates.
Tom's efficiency and knowledge is top notch! FRWA
must be very proud to have an employee of Tom's
caliber.

Jamie Hope has been invaluable to the City of Waldo.
His expertise in wastewater has been wonderful for
us. The City of Waldo has installed a wastewater line
from Waldo to GRU. The fees are calculated through
use that is metered from the Lift Station. One huge
concern was infiltration. Mr. Hope came and helped
conduct smoke tests to help alleviate a large percentage of the problems. We have also had an ongoing
issue with an RV parks camper sewage hook ups being too low to the ground, causing a large infiltration
issue when heavy rains cause the park area to flood.
Mr. Hope was able to be our liaison with the owner,
which resulted in the issue getting resolved. Another
issue we had was a clogged manhole; the camera
he bought allowed the workers to identify a serious
problem that was taken care of.
Sincerely,
Kim Worley
City of Waldo
Mr. Hope's background with GRU will also be invaluable with our dealings on the wastewater line. It is our
