Abnormal Conditions

Conditions that signal the need for review include sudden changes in source or process water quality indicators, such as turbidity, pH, alkalinity, temperature, chlorine demand, and color. If any of these indicators are present, coagulation, flocculation, and sedimentation processes should be reviewed. Good source water and process control analysis allows operators to detect these changes as they occur,allowing for a proactive, instead of reactive, approach.
