Drinking Water Disinfection Survey, Stewart ANGB, New York

Abstract

The Air Force conducted a drinking water disinfection survey at Stewart Air National Guard base from 9-11 July 1990. The scope of the survey included investigating and sampling the base water distribution system. The objectives of the survey were to evaluate the following areas: source water quality, treatment processes, distribution system and layout, water use trends, and monitoring procedures. Samples were analyzed for Total Trihalomethane (TTHM) , Maximim Total Trihalomethane Potential (MPT), Total Organic Carbon (TOC), and Total Organic Halides (TOX). Recommendations: (1) Pursue legal and/or contractual means to obtain source water which meets Federal and State standards. (2) Switch the disinfectant from chlorine to chloramines. Alternatively, install an air stripping unit or install a drinking water distribution system.
