AWWA standards
The Standard for Quality
in the Water Industry
• For over 100 years, AWWA has developed standards
for the manufacture and use of equipment and supplies
used in drinking water treatment and distribution, as
well as standards for water utility management.
• Every AWWA Standard is rigorously approved through
a formal, consensus-based process. Standards are
reviewed every five years to ensure that they provide
current technical information.
• AWWA volunteer committees of subject-matter
experts develop AWWA Standards. You are
encouraged to volunteer for a committee.
Visit www.awwa.org/volunteer for information.
• AWWA Standards are available through annual
subscription. Subscriptions save you 70% over the
cost of purchasing standards individually. Your initial
purchase includes a full set of standards (over 165
standards) plus free updates for 12 months. A yearly
subscription provides all revised )or new standards
published in a 12-month period (20-25 standards).

Many stormwater management professionals say
that the use of “green” management practices, such
as rain gardens and bioswales, can work as well
as traditional pipe systems and help reduce the
costs of stormwater runoff management. To make
alternative stormwater control practices work,
communities need to know the real costs and policy
makers need to give people incentives encourage
adoption. This book discusses the legal, economic,
and hydrological issues associated with various
incentive mechanisms and offers case studies of
successes and potential obstacles.

The Chlorine Revolution: Water Disinfection and the Fight to Save Lives
Michael J. McGuire
The use of chlorine to make water safe to drink has been one of the greatest scientific and engineering
achievements in the fight against deadly diseases. At the turn of the 20th century, the average human life span
in the US was 47. Most people died of infectious diseases, many of which were waterborne, such as dysentery,
typhoid fever, and cholera, rather than old age. The Chlorine Revolution is about a courageous physician and
his partnership with the greatest sanitary engineer of the time to plan, build, and operate the first, large-scale
drinking water disinfection system in the US. It is also about a court case that extended over two trials
(1906-10) that pitted engineering and scientific experts of the day against one another. The verdict approving
the use of chlorine for the Jersey City water supply caused an explosion of its use, which led to the conquest
of waterborne disease in the US. The Chlorine Revolution is the first book to investigate this critical event in the
history of public health in the US and to correct some long-held misinformation in the historical literature.

Elixir: A History of Water and Humankind
Dr. Brian Fagan
Author Brian Fagan tells the fascinating story of how our most vital resource has shaped every human
society since the beginning of time. This sweeping narrative moves across the world, from ancient
Greece and Rome, whose mighty aqueducts still supply modern cities, to China, where emperors marshaled
armies of laborers in a centuries-long struggle to tame powerful rivers, to today’s green cities in the desert.
As the earth’s population approaches nine billion and ancient aquifers run dry, we once again may need to
remember the reverence our ancestors placed on this vital resource.

The Water-Energy Nexus in the American West
Douglas S. Kenney and Robert Wilkinson, editors
Water and energy are two sides of the same coin: the production of oil, gas, and electricity requires
vast amounts of water; the transport and production of drinking water uses enormous amounts of energy.
The savings opportunities in energy production as well as water production are exponential when water
policy and energy policy are integrated. This book sheds new light on choices that avoid unnecessary harm
and waste in the development and management of water and energy systems. Valuable insight for water
policy makers.

discuss technical financial management activities
assume that the reader possesses a basic understanding of financial principles and procedures.
Design–Build for Water and Wastewater Projects
provides a basic template of how to plan and
execute design–build construction projects.
It explains how the processes and procedures of
design-build differ from those of design–bid–build,
and how those differences affect decisions about
preliminary design and planning, procurement, and
project execution. Best practices are highlighted
through a series of case studies, with the goal that
future DB projects are successful for the owners,
communities, design-builders, and other trade
practitioners. The book will be valuable to water
and wastewater utility managers, engineers,
operators, and water quality staff, as well as
city planners, contractors, and DB practitioners.

EL151: Self-paced
Hiring new employees can be one of the most
overwhelming tasks for a manager. How do you
know what you need? How do you follow all the
regulations to avoid a possible law suit? This course
teaches the basic functions and responsibilities of
staff and the skills and knowledge managers need
to do their jobs. The staffing process is reviewed,
including the importance of hiring good staff, and
the risks associated with personnel actions, the
hiring and firing processes, and employment
regulations are also covered.
A 21st century management role is not the same
as a management role was in the 20th century.
Stakeholders, business objectives, staff needs, and
many other considerations have created a minefield
for successful management. This course teaches
key management functions and how to work with
a governing board. There is a focus on how to deal
with conflicts and on interpersonal relationship
skills. The course reviews the importance of good
management and supervision practices; it also looks
at the management of an organization and at the
senior management team.
What is your management style? Do you have one?
This course teaches the different management
styles and looks at how utility supervisors and
managers develop their management skill set and
workforce to improve productivity while reducing
public risk. The course focuses on professional
needs, meeting employees’ needs, motivation, and
leadership roles.

Total Water Management: Practices
for a Sustainable Future
Neil S. Grigg, PhD, PE
The future of our water resources depends on a
holistic view of how water is used and a realistic,
shared plan to ensure its sustainability—a total
water management approach. When evaluating
new projects or upgrading older facilities, water
managers need to consider not only their specific
needs, but also the societal, environmental, and
regulatory influences and impacts of their
decisions. This book explains this concept and
how to work with outside stakeholders in water
management decisions.

Balancing Collection Performance and Service Ratings
Steven E. Seger
Fiscal health and customer satisfaction are the dominant performance indicators for public utility
companies. However, customers view some fiscal policies that may be positive for a utility's fiscal health,
such as securing deposits, as negative in relation to their satisfaction with the water utility. This book
describes the impacts of credit and collections policies on revenues and customer satisfaction ratings at
municipal utilities. Utility managers and financial officers will find much helpful information for formulating
utility policies that will maximize both revenue and customer satisfaction.

Safe drinking water is everybody’s business.
Where can I get more information?
Your public water supplier is responsible for supplying potable water to its customers. As part of this responsibility, the water utility, in conjunction with other entities,
such as the city and local health and plumbing officials, has implemented an ongoing
backflow prevention and cross-connection control program to protect public water
systems from the hazards originating on the premises of its customers and from temporary connections that may result in the impairment of the public water supply. The
program includes the installation, testing, and maintenance of backflow preventers at
service connections where a potential threat to the public water supply is identified.
Your cooperation and assistance in this program will help ensure that the city can
provide clean, safe water for everyone to drink.
To learn more about cross-connection control and backflow prevention programs and
devices, see the American Water Works Association Manual of Water Supply Practice
M14, Recommended Practice for Backflow Prevention and Cross-Counnection Control,
available at www.awwa.org/store.

business.
Our business is safe water. Make it your business, too!
Connections between our water supply and sources of possible contamination are
potentially dangerous, and connections between drinking water lines and commercial
and industrial plumbing systems can be deadly. Connections that allow dangerous
and objectionable material to enter the water supply lines are called cross connections. Because the Water Department is responsible for ensuring that the water is
safe for everyone to drink, it has established a cross-connection control program to
protect the water system from backflow. Backflow is the reverse flow of undesirable
and dangerous material into the water mains.
As a business owner or manager, your cooperation and assistance are needed to
make this program work. Cross connections are generally unintentional. No one deliberately makes plumbing connections to the potable water system that could cause
injury or damage. However, sometimes in the course of providing water to industrial
or commercial operations or installing new plumbing fixtures, cross connections are
inadvertently built into the plumbing system. Cross connections can be controlled
with the proper backflow-prevention techniques.

Precipitation creates
runoff that travels over
Earth’s surface and helps to
fill lakes and rivers. Runoff
water also percolates or
moves downward through
openings in the soil to
replenish aquifers under the
ground. Groundwater can
be found in the porous areas
of underground rock, clay,
sand, and gravel. As clouds
move up and over mountains,
the water vapor condenses
to form precipitation and
freezes. Snow falls on the
peaks. When the snow
melts, it flows into the rivers
and lakes or seeps into the
ground.
