wells and pumping equipment and in many cases exceeds the capacity of
transmission lines.
Raw water storage: N = none.
Water treatment: Type of treatment plant: H = softening; I = iron and manganese removal;
P = purification.
Treatment device: A = aeriation; Al = alum; C = chlorination; Cg = polyphosphate;
F = filter; Is = iron salts; L = lime; M = mixing; Nh = ammoniation; R = recarbonation;
S = sedimentation; Sa = soda ash; T = taste and ordor control.
Capacity of treatment plant: N = no treatment plant; where chlorination and polyphosphate
addition are the only treatment these reagents are commonly added automatically at the
well pump.
Finished water storage: N = none.
Emergency power source: D = diesel engine; DE = diesel electric; E = portable motor generator;
G = gasoline engine; N = none; Ng = natural gas.
