AWWA G440-17 PDF Download

AWWA G440-17 standard sets out the essential requirements for water, wastewater, and reclaimed water utilities regarding emergency preparedness. The main objective of this standard is to establish a baseline for utilities to respond to emergencies, rapidly restore normal operations, and ensure the uninterrupted provision of critical lifeline services necessary for public health, fire protection, sanitation, economic activity, and public confidence.

This standard serves as a reference point for utilities to assess, develop, implement, and maintain their emergency preparedness practices. However, it is important to note that the specifications outlined in this document only apply when the standard is explicitly referenced, and solely to emergency preparedness practices within the utility itself.
