32.0 DOMESTIC WATER PIPING STERILIZATION AFTER COMMISSIONING

On completion of the potable cold water supply services system, including any parts of the existing
service they shall be sterilized by the application of chlorine. The minimum requirements for
chlorination shall be to flush the pipework thoroughly to remove dirt. Chlorine shall then be added to
the storage tanks and water drawn from all draw-off points until chlorine is detected at each outlet
point with a concentration of 50 ppm. The mains are then to be allowed to stand for a period of 24
hours, after which the outlets are to be tested for chlorine. If chlorine is not found to be present or
detected with a concentration of less than 0.4 ppm, all the above shall be repeated until residual
chlorine is detected. After this, the system is to be completely flushed with clean water and
precautions taken to avoid subsequent contamination of the installation.

32.1 Follow the following procedure for sterilization of water piping and storage water tanks:

a. Prior to starting work, verify that system is complete, flushed and clean.

b. Ensure pH of water to be treated is between 7.4 and 7.6 by adding alkali (caustic soda or soda ash)
or acid (hydrochloric acid).

c. Add disinfectant, free chlorine in liquid, powder or tablet form to obtain 50 ppm residual.

conspicuous places throughout the Project against using the chlorinated water.

g. If final disinfectant residual tests less than 0.4 ppm, at any outlet, repeat treatment.

h. Flush disinfectant from system until residual equal to that of incoming water or 1.0 mg/L.

i. Take samples no sooner than 24 hours after flushing, from remote outlet of each riser and from
water entry and analyze in accordance with AWWA C651. Submit result of analysis to Engineer
