Disinfection Options:

  • IWM-handles all post disinfection sampling, lab submission, and documentation requirements

A brochure page titled 'Ensuring Safe Water: Disinfection of Potable Water Systems' from the Franklin County Public Health explains the importance of disinfecting new water systems. It includes steps for disinfection, such as flushing the system and applying chlorine, and highlights why disinfection matters, including bacteria and pathogens risks.
