This book provides information about emergency and standby power for water and wastewater utilities. Although it is not intended to be a design/build engineering text, the book will provide guidance to
- Assess the vulnerability, condition, and reliability of primary electrical equipment
- Determine current and historical electrical load demands and estimate future electrical demands for water transmission, treatment, and distribution systems
- Evaluate various on-site electrical-generating equipment options, benefits, and costs and assess placement locations to facilitate integration with the existing electrical system
- Coordinate and communicate with local electric power provider to assure water utility priority and assess rate options
- Determine backup-power capacity needed to meet peak demand
- Understand and communicate the legal, health, and economic risks of not providing uninterrupted water or wastewater service
