BACKGROUND: RPUoperates under aDomestic Water Supply Permit(DWSP)issued by the State Water Resources Control Board, Division of Drinking Water. A condition in the DWSP is to comply with the federal Groundwater Rule which requires acontinuous detectable chlorine residual to demonstrate 4-log virus inactivation. To achieve this,sodium hypochlorite is continuously injected at various locations along RPU’s transmissionlines. Sodium Hypochloriteis the primarysolution used to disinfect drinking water. In June 2017, bids were solicited from vendors for the supply sodium hypochloriteand three chemical storage tanks. Page 33
