Potable Water
 Water satisfactory for drinking culinary and domestic purposes
and meets the requirements of the Philippine National
Standards for Drinking Water
Contamination
 An impairment of the quality
of the potable water which
creates an actual hazard to
the public health through
poisoning or spread of
disease by sewage, industrial
fluids or waste
Pollution
 An impairment of the quality
of the water to a degree
which creates hazard to the
public health and adversely
affects the aesthetic and
potable qualities of waters
for domestic use
Contamination is the presence of a substance that should not be
present naturally.
Pollution is when the contaminant causes harm to organisms or
infrastructure.

Therefore, you can have a contaminated environment without it

being polluted but you can’t have a polluted environment without
it being contaminated.
Water Source
1. Ground Water (well)
2. Surface Water (springs; lake or river)
3. City Mains (water main; street main)
4. Rain
Water Supply System
 Of a building or premises consists of the water service pipe,
water supply line, water distributing pipe and the necessary
branch pipes, fittings, valves and all appurtenances required for
the supply of potable water
Water Main
 Or street main
 Water-supply pipe for public or community use
Service Pipe
 The pipe from the street water main or other source of water supply to the
building served
Building Supply
 The pipe carrying potable water from the water meter or other source of
water supply to a building or other point of use or distribution on the lot.
 Shall also mean water service connection
House Water Supply
House Service
 Refers to the pipe connection from the public water main or
any source of water supply to the building served
The House Water Supply
The House Water Supply
MAIN – principal artery to which branches connect
WATER MAIN – main pipe/conduit; conveys water to service
connections
The House Water Supply
 CORPORATION COCK – (corporation stop); stop valve
placed in service pipe closed to connection with water main;
controls flow of water from main to a service pipe
The House Water Supply
 GOOSE NECK – a return bend; (one end – 30cm long; other
end – 7.5cm long); connection between service pipe and water
main
 Gooseneck – faucet for a
pantry sink
The House Water Supply
 CURB COCK–control valve; shuts off the water supply to a
building (emergency), installed in water service pipe (operated
by long key inserted through a curb box)
The House Water Supply
 SHUTOFF VALVE – shuts off flow of water from supply pipe
(gate valve)
The House Water Supply
 WATER METER – device for measuring/recording the
quantity of water
The House Water Supply
 WATER-DISTRIBUTING PIPE – conveys potable water from
building supply pipe to the plumbing fixtures/water outlets
 Water-distributing pipe

Building supply
Service pipe/line

*disregard dimensions Water
main
 RISER – a water supply pipe, which extends vertically to one
full storey or more to convey water into pipe branches or
plumbing fixtures
 BRANCH – any part of the piping system other than a main,
riser or stack
 FIXTURE BRANCH – the water supply pipe between the
fixture supply pipe and the water-distributing pipe
 FIXTURE SUPPLY – Water supply pipe connecting the fixture
with the fixture branch
Faucet
 A device for controlling flow of a liquid from pipe by
opening/closing an orifice
 A valve or pipe which water can be drawn

BIBB – synonymous with faucet, cock, tap, plug, etc.

SPIGOT – synonymous with faucet
FAUCETS: Compression Cock, Hose Bibb, Key Cock,
Self-Closing Faucet
 EFFECTIVE OPENING – minimum cross-sectional area at the
point of water supply discharge
 AIR GAP, water distribution – unobstructed vertical distance
through the free atmosphere between the lowest opening from
any pipe or faucet conveying potable water to the flood-level
rim of any tank, vat or fixture
 RIM – an unobstructed top open edge of a fixture
 FLOOD LEVEL – the level in which water begins to overflow
the top or rim of a fixture
 FLOOD LEVEL RIM – top edge of a receptacle
 FLOODED – when liquid rises to the flood level rim
Turbulence Flow
 Fluid motion characterized
by chaotic changes in
pressure and flow velocity
 When water flows in
different direction
Laminar Flow
 Fluid flows in parallel
layers, with no disruption
between those layers
 Water flows in one direction
Noise in Plumbing System?
Water Hammering
 A trumbling sound/noise
Cause: Due to excessive water pressure

AIR CHAMBER – to remove severe noise due to the effect of

hammering
