Abstract

This project developed a guidance document describing standard design guidelines, operational procedures, and response strategies for critical control points to enhance the robustness, reliability, and operability of direct potable reuse projects to ensure public health protection. The project focused on key performance barriers identified as critical control points and the monitoring equipment and instrumentation, including the maintenance and calibration of this equipment. The project includes (1) a hazard assessment to identify health risks, water quality objectives, and critical control points; (2) results of testing at the bench, pilot, and full scale; and (3) a monte carlo analysis.
