HACCP-Based Programs for Preventing Disease and Injury from Premise Plumbing: A Building Consensus [PDF]

Pathogens, 2015
Thousands of preventable injuries and deaths are annually caused by microbial, chemical and physical hazards from building water systems. Water is processed in buildings before use; this can degrade the quality of the water.

Microbial and physicochemical water quality changes within distribution and premise plumbing systems during a chlorine conversion. [PDF]

PLOS Water
A strategy for nitrification control within chloraminated drinking water systems (CDWSs) is to temporarily switch from chloramine secondary disinfection to free chlorine, also known as a free chlorine conversion (FCC).

A cross-environment comparison of nontuberculous mycobacterial diversity [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are a group of environmental bacteria that encompass nearly 200 described species, some of which can cause chronic pulmonary and extrapulmonary infections in humans.

Pressure dependent analysis in premise plumbing system modeling. [PDF]

AWWA Water Sci, 2023
AbstractModeling premise plumbing systems requires accurate treatment of fixture‐specific pressure and flow rate relationships. Each fixture in a building may experience different flow rates based on variable service pressure, its unique pressure‐flow behavior, and demands throughout the building.

Complexity of Chloramine Decay Kinetics in Premise Plumbing. [PDF]

ACS ES T Water
Nitrification-driven chloramine decay kinetics have largely been unquantified in premise plumbing, which is particularly vulnerable to opportunistic pathogen growth. Here, we carried out complementary experiments in an at-scale premise plumbing rig with mature biofilms (>4 years age) with influent residuals of

Framework for Modeling Lead in Premise Plumbing Systems Using EPANET. [PDF]

J Water Resour Plan Manag, 2020
The lead contamination of drinking water in homes and buildings remains an important public health concern. In order to assess strategies to measure and reduce exposure to lead from drinking water, models are needed that incorporate the multiple factors affecting lead concentrations in premise plumbing systems (PPS). In this study, the use of EPANET, a

Advances in Premise Plumbing Modeling

Proceedings - 2nd International Join Conference on Water Distribution System Analysis (WDSA)& Computing and Control in the Water Industry (CCWI), 2022
In summer 2019, a new task committee on Premise Plumbing Modeling (PPM) was approved under the auspices of the Water Distribution Systems Analysis Committee of ASCE EWRI.  The primary purpose of the PPM task committee is to advance the science of the new field of premise plumbing modeling.

A case study: Comparison of disinfection by-product formations between LEED-certified and non-certified buildings

Developments in the Built Environment, 2022
In a few studies focusing on premise plumbing, water quality parameters were compared between LEED-certified and non-certified buildings. However, in those studies, the building characteristics were different, which can cause variations in comparison ...
