Water line chlorination and dechlorination
Water line chlorination is essential to the safety and sanitation of potable water systems. Chlorinated water, however, can have an adverse environmental impact when discharged if not properly dechlorinated. Ferguson Waterworks offers a complete line of chlorination and dechlorination products to help you comply with industry standards and regulations.
Chlorination and dechlorination regulations
Several federal, state, county and local government organizations have set regulations for the amount of chlorine that can be discharged into the environment. Examples of these regulations are outlined below.
US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) water quality criteria for total residual chlorine (TRC):
Emergency situation Acute toxicity criterion for receiving streams: 0.019 mg/L (ppm)
Long-term Chronic toxicity criterion for receiving bodies of water: 0.011 mg/L (ppm)
American Water Works Association (AWWA) Standard C65-09:
Under 11.A US Regulations, last paragraph of subsection 1. "Chlorine discharge limits in water releases into receiving streams and wetlands shall not exceed 0.01 mg/L (or a more stringent limit)."
It is the responsibility of utility agencies to meet these regulations. Fortunately, Ferguson Waterworks is a leader in the industry when it comes to approved chemicals and equipment for chlorination and dechlorination systems.
