When Bay-area water wholesaler San Francisco Regional Water System (SFRWS) changed its residual drinking water disinfection process from chlorine to chloramine, the town of Hillsborough’s Water Quality staff faced the challenge of updating its water testing procedures to prevent nitrification and continue to meet state-mandated drinking water quality standards. While chloramine reduces overall levels of certain regulated disinfectant byproducts, particularly formation of trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids, use of this disinfectant can lead to conditions where microbiological growth – or nitrification – occurs in the distribution system. That’s when Water Quality Technician Paul Race and his staff turned to Hach for help.
