Section Env-Dw 714.09 - Monitoring Requirements for Water Quality Parameters

(a) The O/O of a water system that is subject to this part shall comply with the monitoring requirements for water quality parameters specified in 40 CFR § 141.87, 7-1-16 edition, as modified by Table 714-1, below, subject to the notes in (b), below:

Table 714-1: Summary of Monitoring Requirements for Water Quality Parameters

Monitoring period; Location	Parameters	Frequency
Initial water quality monitoring:
- Taps - Entry point(s) to distribution system	- pH - alkalinity - conductivity - water temperature - calcium ^A - orthophosphate ^B - silica ^C	As specified in 40 CFR § 141.87, except that the frequency shall be twice in 90 days after the date of action level exceedance
Routine water quality monitoring:
- Taps	- pH - alkalinity - calcium ^A - orthophosphate ^B - silica ^C	As specified in 40 CFR § 141.87, except that the frequency shall be every 3 months for parameters to be reported twice during each monitoring period
- Entry point(s) to distribution system	- pH - alkalinity ^D - inhibitor ^E	No less frequently than every 2 weeks^F
Optimal water quality parameters:
- Taps	- pH - alkalinity - calcium ^A orthophosphate ^B - silica ^C	Every 6 months
- Entry points(s) to distribution system	- pH - alkalinity^D - inhibitor ^E	No less frequently than every 2 weeks ^F
Reduced water quality monitoring:
- Taps	- pH - alkalinity - calcium ^A - orthophosphate ^B - silica ^C	Every 6 months, annually or every 3 years; reduced number of sites
- Entry point(s) to distribution system	- pH - alkalinity^D - inhibitor ^E	No reductions; continues no less frequently than every 2 weeks ^F

(b) The following notes shall apply to Table 714-1:

(1) "A" means that calcium analysis is required only if calcium carbonate stabilization is used as part of corrosion control;

(2) "B" means that orthophosphate analysis is required only if an inhibitor containing a phosphate compound is used;

(3) "C" means that silica analysis is required only if an inhibitor containing a silicate compound is used;

(4) "D" means that analysis of the dosage rate of the chemical used to adjust alkalinity and the alkalinity concentration is required only if alkalinity is adjusted as part of corrosion control;

(5) "E" means that analysis of the dosage rate of the inhibitor used and the concentration of orthophosphate or silica, as applicable, is required only if a corrosion inhibitor is used as part of corrosion control; and

(6) "F" means that the system O/O shall maintain a log which identifies, for each sample taken, the date the sample was taken, the sampling location, and the result.
