INDICATIVE RESULTS o Drafting of Water Safety Plan for Khon Khaen waterwork

• Identification of issues in production and distribution systems through the Plan and K-Water feedback

• Need for better monitoring

o Improving production processes to better remove turbidity at Baan Ko Ta• Enhancing chemical feeding process (e.g. feeding rate, flow meter

installation, chemical stabilization tank, SOP)• Installing tube settlers in sedimentation tanks• Optimizing filtration (e.g. backwashing frequencies, new media, cover,

SOP, C x T values, monitoring)

o Ensuring safe water distribution• Installing chlorine booster pump in Rattanapa pump station• Increase pipe flushing frequency• Taking and monitoring regular samples in furthest points of network

Water Safety ConferenceNovember 2-4 2010, Kuching, Malaysia

INDICATIVE RESULTS o Water quality monitoring using SCADA

• Installing Water Quality Monitoring systems at raw and treated water (instruments, software)

• Renovating SCADA central control room in Baan KoTa WTP including upgrades of communication system for all stations; hardware and software; and SCADA system testing

• Installing communication system for headquarter, regional office and WTP office; test run for control and monitoring;

• Preparing data base and reporting mechanisms

Water Safety ConferenceNovember 2-4 2010, Kuching, Malaysia

• Trained staff at Khon Khaen facility to share with colleagues in Region 6

• SOPs on SCADA and production treatment systems (chemical feeding table, filtration backwash) developed for Khon Khaen facility with help by K-Water to be used as templates for other waterworks as they plan to improve operations

• Selected scientists/engineers from each region attended specialized training on optimizing production and distribution processes by K-Water to help disseminate good practices (Training-of-Trainer approach)

• Baan Ko Ta WTP will be used as model for other waterworks through site visits

• PWA to roll-out Water Safety Plan development in 10 additional waterworks in 2011 to help with water quality management improvements
