STATUS REPORT FOR AWWARF/EPRI PROJECT -474:
Full-scale Implementation of UV Ground Water Disinfection Systems

Completed Project Tasks:

1. The Draft Sampling/Monitoring Protocols for the Full Scale Implementation of UV in Groundwater Disinfection Systems was distributed to AWWARF, EPRI, South Berwick Water District, and Indianapolis Water Company on June 2, 1998.
   Comments on the draft were received from Black & Veatch and Indianapolis Water Company, and have been incorporated into the document. The comment period will terminate on July 15, 1998. The final version of the document will be distributed at that time.
   
2. The Draft Sampling/Monitoring Protocols for the Full Scale Implementation of UV in Groundwater Disinfection Systems was posted on our website at www.unh.edu/uv-gw.
   
3. The full-scale UV equipment installation including related plumbing and electrical work is complete at Indianapolis Water Company. A start-up meeting is scheduled for July 20, 1998 at the facility.
   

On-Going Project Tasks:

1. The installation of the pump house piping modifications for the full-scale UV system for South Berwick Water District (SBWD) remains to be completed. Discussions between UNH-ERG and SBWD indicate the completion is projected for July 20, 1998. It is hoped that SBWD will be on-line by the end of July 1998.
   

Overall Project Status:

The project was initiated on June 1, 1997 with a total budget of $150,000. The initial project schedule allowed for 6 months of UV system planning, design and installation, 12 months of continuous pilot-plant operation, data collection and monitoring, and 6 months to prepare, revise, deliver and publish the final project report. Currently, the project is 6 months behind schedule, with the project end date of December 31, 1998.

It is proposed that the project receives a six month, no cost extension. This will allow the full 12 months of pilot testing and provide adequate time for final reporting.

The project budget has not been affected by the delays due to the fact that a large percentage of the initial projects costs are provided as in-kind services by the project team. As of June 1, 1998, less $20,000 has been expended.
