Remarks:
i.

The Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) shall be measured using the Guide to TDS calculation
which is the Summation Method (Anions and cations) measured according to the
Standard Method at a frequency specified in the Guide for the TDS Calculations to
establish k factor. The k factor is the Ratio adopted in determining the TDS from the
measurement of Electric Conductivity in mhos/cm. Where the TDS (by summation
method) = k x EC in mg/l. Where K can be only is in the range of 0.55 to 0.8

ii.

Residual chlorine ideal concentration shall be between 0.2 to 0.5 mg/l however it may
increase to 1.00mg/l or even above in situations where the Licensed Supplier or the
Transmission System Operator request it in accordance with the Water Transmission
Code or for the purpose of controlling possible bacteriological contamination.

iii.

*Produced water minimum limit for Calcium Hardness, Total Hardness, Calcium content
Hydrogen Bicarbonate Contents (HCO3) and maximum limit for TDS (<200mg/l), shall be
according to the water quality exit specification composition requirements of the relevant
Plants to ensure meeting the remineralisation limits in the water desalination processes.

Total Pesticides means the sum of all individual pesticides detected and quantified in
the monitoring procedure. Those pesticides can be from the list of individual Parameters
in the table above or outside it. Form of Pesticides can be, but not limited to organic
insecticides, herbicides and fungicides.

Remarks:

b) Legionella, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Sulphite reducing bacteria testing needs to be
conducted randomly in the in the distribution network as an indicator for detecting
possible contamination or where observations associated with taste, odour and colour
problems. Target should be Zero organism.
c) Drinking water shall be free at all times from algae, mould, parasites, insects and their
eggs, larvae, protozoa including Amebo.

d) Total Bacterial Count limit shown above is an indicator for disinfection efficiency and the
risk of potential contamination; hence Suppliers shall take immediate remedial measures
where significant increase over that normally observed levels is detected which is 100 at
37 C or above.

If the following additive formula is satisfied, then no further action is required:


Ci/GLi 1.0
Where:
Ci = the measured activity concentration of radionuclide i
GL = the guidance level of radionuclide i
Occasionally, if the guidance levels are exceeded, national authorities will then need to make a
decision regarding the need to implement remedial measures or to place some restriction on the
continued use of the water supply for drinking purposes.
