Potable Water Emergency/Contingency Plan. Water Supply Information Paper; No. IP-31-020.

Abstract

This paper provides guidance to installations for preparing an emergency/contingency plan to effectively address potential contamination of drinking water supplies, and for providing potable water during emergencies. A water supply contingency plan is required for each installation as part of its Water Resource Management Plan according to Army Regulation (AR) 200-1, Environmental Protection and Enhancement; AR 420-49, Utility Services; and the Overseas Environmental Baseline Guidance Document. Many primacy states also have contingency plan requirements. Past Environmental Compliance Assessment System audits have found that many installations do not have a potable water contingency plan.
