The Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD) is developing an Enhanced Water
Quality Monitoring Plan (Enhanced Monitoring Plan) to optimize monitoring coverage
for regulatory compliance and system protection. Planning criteria are developed to
ensure uniformity of the sampling stations over the entire distribution system and
population, to cover developing and remote service areas, and to provide a traceable
relationship to each water supply source and the residence time for all seasonal operating
conditions.
The Enhanced Monitoring Plan promotes the use of water quality data to support facility
planning and operational efforts for water quality enhancement. Integration of the water
quality monitoring data with the results from a combined hydraulic and water quality
model, and with other information captured in the geographic information system (GIS) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, provides
significant and practical benefits. These benefits include improved water quality model
calibration, timely emergency response to potential water quality threats, and intelligent
feedback for future facility planning. The Enhanced Monitoring Plan is described with
examples that illustrate the resulting benefits. Includes table, figures.
