Only one month left to collect ANNUAL or TRIENNIAL disinfection
by-product (DBP) samples for Community and Non-transient Non-community
water systems that add a disinfectant to the drinking water (or receive
finished treated water thru a consecutive connection or via a water
hauler) during any part of the drinking water treatment process.

 

Stage 1 Disinfection By-Products (DBP):

*         ANNUAL and TRIENNIAL samples should be collected between June
1 and September 30

*         Consult the public water system's Disinfection By-Products
Site Sampling Plan for locations to monitor and to see if you need to
update it prior to sampling.

*         Take samples at locations representing maximum residence time
(MRT) (unless the system is a surface water system or elects to take
more than the required frequency, then at least 25% are taken at MRT and
the rest are taken at average residence time).

*         The number of required samples depends on your population
served, number of treated sources, and source type (ground water or
surface water) - contact us if you have questions.

 

If you have any questions, please contact the Drinking Water Monitoring
and Protection Unit Manager, Donna Calderon, at 602-771-4641 or
dml@azdeq.gov.
