Abstract

Evaluates and reviews techniques, equipment, and programs to help utilities plan and implement a logical distribution system flushing program. Discusses existing flushing programs and provides practical information to help utilities optimize their flushing programs--or to start a program if they do not have one in place--and thereby improve distribution system water quality.
