This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of the water sector's need for a transparent decision-making
process for disinfectant selection that considers all disinfectant options fairly, is carried out at
the local level, and is
based on established engineering practices. The various steps of the disinfectant selection process are presented, along with practical parallels to the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) decision process. Concluding remarks include:
disinfectant selection is extremely challenging in today's
regulatory and public affairs environment;
anticipated legislation will not alleviate this tension and is
likely to make this basic operational decision even more
difficult.
Utilities are best served by:
making disinfectant selections based on goals and
objectives derived from utility governing board;
following a transparent evaluation process;
preparing now for future evaluations; integrating risk communication principles into the
evaluation process; and,
integrating stakeholder outreach early in the
evaluation process. Includes tables.
