Monitoring Program Kit

Kit samples

A generic version of what your crew would get.

Sample 1

Flushing procedure

Generic outline based on common industry practice. Your kit is written for your system, your equipment and your permit.

Plan. Map the flush path from GIS: every valve and hydrant, each pipe section and its size. Notify operations and customers 24–48 hours ahead. Check gauges, meters, dechlorination and drainage.
Calculate. Find each section's volume and add them. The largest main sets the flow needed for the target velocity: 0.91 m/s (3 ft/s) for sediment, 1.5 m/s (5 ft/s) for biofilm. Estimate time for 2–3 water exchanges.
Set up. Sign and cone the site, set the diffuser to drain, place dechlorination. Record static pressure and an initial sample, then close valves in sequence, counting turns.
Flush. Open to the target flow. Convert the diffuser gauge to flow and velocity in each section. Watch residual pressure at a second hydrant and keep it above 140 kPa (20 psi).
Monitor. Check turbidity every 5–10 minutes and watch discharge colour and drainage. Record one mid-peak reading.
End. Stop when exchanges are reached, turbidity is under 1.0 NTU and chlorine residual meets your target. Take the final sample and final static.
Restore. Shut down slowly, re-open valves in reverse order and confirm turns match. Drain and cap the hydrant, clear the site, remove signs last.
Record. One record per flush: sections, calculations, valves, pressures, water quality, checklist and issues.

Sample 2

Section	What gets recorded
1. Segment	Date, crew, zone, street, flush and monitor hydrants, start and end, diffuser, backflow, pipe sections (diameter, material, length)
2. Calculations	Target velocity, flow needed, gauge needed, time per exchange, exchanges, estimated vs. actual time, volume used
3. Valves	Order, valve number, turns, re-opened, turns match
4. Pressure and flow	Static, residual, drop, lowest residual, final static, diffuser gauge, flow, velocity in the largest main
5. Water quality	Initial, mid-peak (turbidity) and final samples; optional nitrification panel
6. Checklist	Pre-flush, site setup, flush complete, restoration
7. Issues	Complaints, drainage, water control, valve failures, damage, notes, sign-off

The same seven sections drive the field app, so paper and digital records match line for line.
