12 Distribution System Water Quality Distribution System Water Quality Assessment performed in 2005 in response to several incidences of waterborne microbial contamination (primarily related to degradation of water quality within various buildings), recommending: Conduct an Enhanced Water Quality Monitoring Program Loop dead-ends & incorporate automatic flushing devices Consider unidirectional flushing program Formalize cross-connection control program Consider proactive community outreach
13 Enhanced Water Quality Monitoring Increased number of sampling sites (to 25) for weekly sampling with number adjusted monthly to be proportional to estimated customers served Analytical parameters included: Free & Total Chlorine, Total Coliforms, ph, Heterotrophic Plate Count (HPC) Data entry into electronic database Monitoring began October 2005 & will continue indefinitely
14 Ammonia Monitoring Raw water & finished water sampled for ammonia & chloramines subsequent to observation of large difference between free chlorine & total chlorine High proportion of monochloramines (up to 90% of total) especially in northern portions of the system with the Gorman Ave. WTP in service Resulting in sporadic instances of inadvertent chloramination Ammonia concentrations vary from mg/l

18 Distribution System Monitoring Typical Summer 2006
19 Distribution System Monitoring Typical Winter 2007
20 Distribution System Monitoring Typical Summer 2007
21 Distribution System Monitoring Typical Summer 2008
22 Distribution System Monitoring Typical Winter
23 Distribution System Water Quality Monitoring Summary Certain areas more prone to loss of chlorine residual Low free chlorine residual (<.2 mg/l) typically results in increased HPC levels Higher proportions of combined chlorine (total chlorine free chlorine) in certain areas due to ammonia in source water. Combined chlorine shown to be effective in maintaining low HPC Presence of ammonia probably enhances DBP reduction Increased chlorine dosage implemented to oxidize ammonia in source water
24 Operational Revisions Maintain higher free chlorine residual (>0.2 mg/l) Reviewing WTP operations to optimize disinfection performance Modify operations to promote greater cycling of water level in tanks Meetings with hotel/ condo associations to educate about importance of flushing program Installed tank mixing systems
25 Ocean City DBP Control Issues Relatively high organics in source water High iron concentrations require strong oxidant to enable removal by filtration High water age (10+ days) during the offseason Relatively high concentrations of ammonia requires larger doses of chlorine to obtain free chlorine residual for disinfection
26 Disinfection Byproducts (DBPs) DBPs: Trihalomethanes and Haloacetic Acids Currently Compliant with Stage 1 BBP Rule TTHM RAA must be < 80 ppb HAA5 RAA must be < 60 ppb Stage 2 DBP Rule Requires selection of new monitoring sites (Total of 4 sites for Ocean City) Each site must comply with limits Compliance monitoring begins November 2013
27 TTHM, µg/l Historical TTHM vs. Chlorine Residual for Stage 1 Compliance Chlorine, mg/l TTHM MCL = 80 µg/l TTHM Goal = 64 µg/l Stage 1 DBPR Compliance Site TTHM 7-11 at North Division St Year, Quarter RAA Compliance Site Free Cl2 (15th St. WTP) Total Cl2 (15th St. WTP)
28 Historical TTHM at Stage 1 and Stage 2 Compliance Sites
29 Simultaneous Compliance Disinfection vs. DBPs Apply enough disinfectant to control pathogens Implement strategies to reduce concentrations of DBPs

42 Bench Testing Conclusions Oxidation: Aeration, Potassium Permanganate, Chlorine Dioxide all proven effective THM Control: Chloramines treatment resulted in lowest formation of THMs, even after 10 days simulated water age Alternate oxidants (other than chlorine) reduced THMs in system, although not as effective at longer than 3 days water age
43 Microbial Control / DBP Compliance Alternate oxidants Possible sequential oxidation Reduce water age Flushing Consider chloramination
44 Recommendations for Ocean City 1) Town prefers to exhaust other oxidation and disinfection alternatives prior to implementing chloramination due to potential byproducts (NDMA and others?) plus other issues (added ammonia to wastewater and corrosion issues) 2) Conduct additional bench testing Confirm previous results Test multiple wells Test combinations of oxidants
45 Recommendations for Ocean City 3) Conduct desktop analysis comparing economic and qualitative factors for the strategies considered acceptable to the Town 4) Pilot/demonstration testing and develop design criteria for Maryland Department of Environment (MDE) approval 5) Likely will apply for Stage 2 compliance extension while implementing selected alternative
46 Questions? Conduct workshop with Town to discuss preferred path forward to likely be followed by: Limited series of additional bench testing to confirm results Desktop analysis comparing economic and qualitative factors for the strategies considered acceptable to the Town Pilot/demonstration testing and develop design criteria for MDE approval Potential need to implement chloramines on at least a temporary basis to ensure regulatory compliance
