Perceptions of Utility Role in Environmental Leadership pub date: May-06 Retail price $263.00, Member price: $175.00, soft cover, 168 pages This report will help water utility managers better understand the concept of environmental leadership and to describe strategies that drinking water utility managers can use to evolve their utilities into environmental leaders. It identified fundamental characteristics and examples of environmental leadership; assessed the views of drinking water utility mangers and residents resulting in strategies that can be applied as necessary. Findings indicate that residents believe environmental leadership is important and are will to pay for it and that water utility mangers must alter their thinking. The four fundamental characteristics of environmental leadership are: collaboration, environmental stewardship, visibility, and a willingness to be first.
Field
Guide to SDWA Regulations Retail price: $57.00, soft cover, 170 pages This publication provides information on drinking water regulations, regulatory guidance, and advisories related to the latest SDWA regulations in a single, easy-to-follow document. Although much as been done to simplify drinking water regulations, a confusing array of technical information still exists. This field guide brings together information produced by EPA, AWWA, and others, and presents the regulations in an understandable format. Demonstration of Emerging Technologies for Arsenic Removal - Vol 2: Pilot Testing Pub Date Dec. 05 ISBN: 1-58321-406-2 This is the second of two
volumes that presents the results of a cooperative research effort
between industry, academia, utilities to evaluate and demonstrate the
treatment effectiveness of a wide range of technologies for arsenic
removal. (Volume 1; ISBN: 1-58321-310-4; published Feb 2004) This volume
focused on larger-scale in-situ demonstration testing of the major
technologies reviewed in Volume 1, plus several additional technologies.
Objectives were to describe the underlying chemical and physical
controls over arsenic removal, consider the operational performance
parameters and anticipate where improvements might occur. Sponsored by
Arsenic Research Partnership, AWWRF, USEPA, and ACWA. Ozone
in Drinking Water Treatment: Process Design, Operation, and
Optimization pub date: Sep-05 Retail Price: $90.00, hardcover, 320 pages This book is a resource for all drinking water treatment plants into the application, design, operation, control, and optimization of ozone facilities. This book is written primarily from an operations perspective, and explains the current place and placement of ozone facilities in North America. Coverage includes instrumentation quality control, quality assurance guidelines, precautions for implementation, maintenance considerations, and explains the theory and practice of ozone operation and how ozone disinfection performance is measured, calculated, reported, and optimized.

Adsorbent
Treatment Technologies for Arsenic Removal pub date: Sep-05 Retail Price: $263.00, soft cover w/CD, 160 pages This book reports on the study to identify the inhibitory impacts of water quality on a range of adsorbents for removal of arsenate and arsenite; to define the minimizing effects and maximum arsenic adsorption capacity; to investigate the applicability of various adsorbents to arsenite removal, to assess the leaching stability of spent adsorbents and to develop a decision framework for utilities. Includes 4-color pages Sponsored by: Arsenic Research Partnership
Ozone-Enhanced
Biofiltration for Geosmin and MIB Removal pub date: Sep-05 Retail Price: $263.00, soft cover, 220 pages Ozone-enhanced biofiltration is widely used to achieve multiple water quality benefits and effectively removes odorants such as MIB and geosmin. This project aims to better understand ozone-enhanced biofiltration for MIB and geosmin removal by providing information on the such research gaps as: selection of appropriate ozone dosages; the role of biofiltration for direct oxidation; quantification of the extent of MIB and geosmin removal in well acclimated and controlled biofilters, and others.

Customer
Attitudes, Behavior, and the Impact of Communication Efforts $ 125.00 Member
Price: $75.00 Dr. Elaine Tatham, Chris Tatham, and Dr. Jane Mobley The research for this
project took place over 20 months from 2000 to 2001 and involved 45
different focus groups, plus surveys from over
5000 customers. This guidebook provides insights into the factors that
influence residential customers, how and
what types of communications are relevant. It lays out some basic findings that will aid utilities in
maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction. The accompanying CD
provides the raw data from the survey.
The compiled and analyzed Information Collection Rule
(ICR) data in this book is a result of the largest and most carefully
managed effort ever undertaken in the US to gather water quality and
treatment information. 500 treatment plants over an 18 month period,
collected source water to study data on over 15 parameters (protozoa,
bromide, calcium hardness, alkalinity,etc) plus 7 operational data such
as flow and return rates. The study initiated with the Regulatory
Negotiation Committee, which resulted in the creation of ICR in response
to the need for data to support federal regulatory decisions on DBP's
and microbial pathogens in drinking water. This data provides a critical
foundation for the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) of 1999-2000. Best Practices for Energy
Management Book Because energy requires a high percentage
of utilities operating costs, the practices outlined in this study
should help reduce those costs. The 24 participating utilities have all
achieved significant savings with their improved energy management
practices. The study identifies common areas where opportunities exist
for money savings, provides 'best practices' along with case studies,
discusses management teams, self-assessment surveys, preparation of an
energy program and implementation plans. Energy supply management and
procurement practices were found to be a key factor in reducing costs. |
