摘要:

This article discusses the sampling requirement of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), specifically as it relates to small water systems, and how proper sampling should be conducted. Sampling should include bacteriological sampling and sampling for residual chlorine. The two go hand in hand since chlorine is used to kill the bacteria. The article also discusses what to do if your sample shows the water to be contaminated, how samples can be accidentally contaminated, contamination from nonroutine events, flushing and resampling, backflow problems, combined residual and other problems.
