7. A direct filtration plant is operated at a designed flow of 20 MGD with a contact time of<br />

35 minutes. A free chlorine dose of 1.2 mg/L is maintained through the plant. Upon<br />

leaving the plant, the effluent is chloraminated (and maintained to the distribution<br />

system) to a dose of 0.4 mg/L through a pipeline with a contact time of 12 minutes into<br />

a 650,000-gallon reservoir. The pH of the water is 8.5 and has a temperature of 15°C.<br />

Does this treatment process meet compliance for CT inactivation for viruses?<br />

8. Does a water utility meet CT for viruses by disinfection if only the free chlorine<br />

concentration is 0.5 ppm through 200 ft of 24” diameter pipe at a flow rate of 730 gpm?<br />

Assume the water is 15°C and has a pH of 8.0.<br />
