In our effort to provide our customers with high quality drinking water, CRW maintains a water main flushing program. During flushing operations fire hydrants and blow-offs are systematically opened around the District and water is allowed to flow quickly through the pipes. This increased velocity ...
Discolored water is caused by mineral deposits in the pipes. Discolored water is not aesthetically pleasing, but it is safe to drink. However, we fully realized our customers deserve better.

The project, supported by UNDP and implemented by the secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme, aimed at improving access to clean water and installed first flush diverters on drinking water tanks in 99 per cent of households on all three atolls. 该项目由开发计划署支助,由太平洋...
A WDS can be branched or looped consisting of water source(s), pump(s), pipes, storage tank(s), control valve(s), and fire hydrants. The system investigated in this study was a real, looped water system consisting of one groundwater source, three pumps, 958 pipes, one storage tank, ...
customer owned water service line coming into your home. It is important that residents check their water service line because all potential sources of lead in plumbing should be removed when possible. Lead can also be found in older brass fixtures, valves and in old solder that connects pipes...
incorporated lead joints, lead composite pipes and/or brass fittings. Elevated iron concentrations can result in violations of drinking water standards. In both potable and non-potable water distribution systems, excessive concentrations of iron can result in staining of structure surfaces, fixtures and...
water pressures that exist in a building plumbing system. The pressure of the leg of the plumbing system that provides the emergency wash may range from very low to very high values, depending upon the size of the pipes, the age and material buildup within the pipes, whether or not other...
