Back to C652-02: AWWA Standard for Disinfection of Water-Storage Facilities
This standard for disinfection of water-storage facilities describes materials,
facility preparation, application of disinfectant to interior surfaces of facilities, and
sampling and testing for the presence of coliform bacteria. The standard also includes
disinfection procedures for underwater inspection of on-line, potable-water-storage
facilities but does not describe the technical aspects of underwater inspection. All
new storage facilities shall be disinfected before they are placed in service. All
storage facilities taken out of service for inspecting, repairing, painting, cleaning, or
other activity that might lead to contamination of water shall be disinfected before
they are returned to service. Major changes made in this revision of AWWA C652
are as follows:
Sec. 4.4, Disinfection Procedures When Conducting Underwater Inspection
of Potable-Water-Storage Facilities, was modified.
