Small Water System Management Program
Owning and operating a public drinking water system is a big
responsibility. There are few things more important to
maintaining good health than having access to safe drinking
water. The purpose of the
Small
Water System Management Program Guide (Word DOC) is to
assist owners/operators of small non-expanding community Group A
water systems to meet the requirements of state and federal
drinking water laws, and ultimately to protect the health of
their customers.
Much of the guide will be useful on a day-to-day basis. The guide can be
used as a filing system for system personnel. Several
water systems who have already used this guide tell us that it
can serve many purposes including providing:
-
a central location for numerous water system records and system
policies,
-
a process to evaluate present and future system deficiencies and
improvements necessary for continued water system operation,
and
-
a list of operation and maintenance duties that can be reviewed, used and improved as necessary
by existing and future water system personnel so they may
effectively manage and operate the water system.
In addition to
serving as a central filing system, by completing the guide,
systems will also satisfy the Small Water System Management
Program requirement in Washington Administrative Code (WAC)
246-290-105 and the capacity requirement for water systems
mandated in the federal Safe Drinking Water Act.
