Phase III Partnership for Safe Water Directors
Award
|
American Water Works Association (AWWA)
|
The Partnership for Safe Water program
consists of four phases. Each phase is intended to assist utilities in
progressing toward optimized treatment plant operation.
Phase III requires significant
effort. Utilities review their plant operation to identify areas limiting
optimized performance and develop a plan to address these areas and improve
water quality. The report is reviewed by a team of trained utility peers
who are members of the Program Effectiveness Assessment Committee (PEAC).
To receive the Director’s Award, the utility must demonstrate to the
PEAC team that it is making a "good faith” effort toward
treatment plant optimization.
