25、WA Standards Program is designed to serve water, wastewater, and reclaimed water utilitieshereafter, the water sectorand their customers, owners, service providers, and government regulators. The standards developed under the program are generally intended to improve a utilitys overall operations an
26、d service. Among the standards is a specific effort to establish formal management and operations guidelines. These guidelines identify appropriate practices, procedures, and behaviors that promote effective and efficient utility operations and contribute to the protection of public health, public s
27、afety, and the environment. AWWAs standards process has been used for more than 90 years to produce American National Standards Institute (ANSI)*accredited standards for materials and processes that are used by the water sector. These standards are recognized world- wide and have been adopted by man
28、y utilities and organizations. Volunteer standards committees establish standard practices in a uniform and appropriate format. Formal AWWA standards committees have been, and continue to be, formed to address individual standard practices for the diverse range of water sector utilities. A formal st
29、andards committee was created in March 2005 to develop a standard for emergency preparedness practices. This standard is the outcome of Emergency Pre- paredness Practices Standards Committee industry expertise. I.B. History. The first edition of this standard was approved by the AWWA Board of Direct
30、ors on June 12, 2011. This second edition was approved on Jan. 14, 2017 . I.C. Acceptance. There is no applicable information for this section. II. Special Issues. II.A. Advisory Information on Application of Standards. This standard includes only those requirements that are limited exclusively to e
31、mergency preparedness practices for operation and management of drinking water, wastewater, or reclaimed water systems. Separate standards adopted by the Standards Program cover utility management programs such as distribution system operation and management, water treatment, source water protection

40、ealth, fire protection, santiation, economic activity, and consumer confidence.
