Service activities relating to drinking water supply, wastewater and stormwater systems — Guidelines for the implementation of continuous monitoring systems for drinking water quality and operational parameters in drinking water distribution networks

This document specifies guidelines for the implementation of continuous monitoring systems for drinking water quality and operational parameters in drinking water distribution networks.

It provides guidance for determining the:

— effective number of continuous monitoring stations in the drinking water distribution network;

— location of monitoring stations in the drinking water distribution network;

— types of operational and drinking water quality parameter measuring devices (MDs) that can be installed in a continuous monitoring station;

— quality control, maintenance and calibration requirements of the continuous monitoring system.

This document excludes guidance on the design, structure, number and type of MDs to be installed in a continuous monitoring system.
