MOR and Kentucky requirements for public water
systems are according to 401 KAR Chapter 8
These are always available for your review.
www.water.ky.gov/dw/rules
We encourage you to consult the KY Drinking Water
Branch for questions and clarification. We are
here for YOU.
3
You may also refer to the EPA regulations. www.ep
a.gov/safewater/regs.htmlproposed
4
First, make sure you have the right form.
Surface Water?
Ground Water?
Purchase and Distribute water from another system?
5
All MOR forms and instructions are available for
you to download as Excel files (MORs) and Adobe
Acrobat pdf files (instructions)
at www.water.ky.gov/dw/profi/mrr/drinkingwater
forms.html
We encourage you to consult the KY Drinking Water
Branch if you need help. We are here for YOU.
6

• Month and Year you are reporting for

• Your PWSID (Be CAREFULLY correct)

• PWS Name
• Source Name County

• Plant ID

7
Plant ID

• This is to indicate or identify which treatment
  plant the report is for.

• Some systems have two TPs. (treatment plants)
• If left blank we assume that the report is for
  TPA.

8

• Date Mailed

• Superintendent/Operators

They do not need to sign their names on the MOR
- the person filling out the report may list the
names.

Next sectionTreatment Plants Complete
10
Those systems that treat water must complete this
section.
11
This applies to all systems EXCEPT those that
purchase their water and do not treat water.
Any system that treats water must complete this
summary section.

• The month and year of the report
• The total amount of water treated
• Maximum amount of water pumped during any
  reported day
• The total number of days the TP was operating

12
If you PURCHASE water from another system,
complete this section.

• Report Date

• The PWSID of the system from which you purchased

• The total amount purchased from each system

13
If you SELL water to another system complete
this section.
Rules to Remember

• Report Date

• The PWSID of the system to which you have sold
  water

• Your own PWSID does not belong in this section

• The total amount sold to each system

14
And FINALLY
Sign it and Date it
THIS should be the last step in the Monthly
Operating Reportafter all pages have been
completed and checked.
15
Other items often missed
16

• This column should coincide with the dates the TP
  was operating.

• For dates the plant was not operating, leave that
  space blank.

• Do not forget to total the gallons of raw water
  that were treated for the entire month. This
  belongs on the cover page as well.

17
Turbidity (NTU) Top of Filter - Raw Water

• This turbidity reading should be taken before
  water has been treated and/or gone through the
  filter(s).

18

Disinfectant ResidualEPTDS(Entry Point To the
Distribution System)

• Every system that serves gt3,300 people (surface
  water or groundwater under direct influence) are
  required to have an on-line Chlorine analyzer.

• This analyzer monitors continuously the residual
  just before the water goes to the dist. system.

• The number that belongs in this column for each
  day is the lowest recorded residual for that day.

WE WILL BEGIN TO GIVE VIOLATIONS FOR THIS. (We
are able to give violations for this now, but
have not up to this point.)
19
Distribution System Test Results Chlorine
Residual
Check chlorine residuals DAILY at representative
points throughout the system. (401 KAR 8150
(1)(a)4)

• The points used to sample within the
  distribution system should represent the system.

• At least one location must be sampled every day,
  but the point(s) and the frequency you sample at
  each should be decided upon based on the
  distribution system.

WE WILL BEGIN TO GIVE VIOLATIONS FOR THIS. (We
are able to give violations for this now, but
have not up to this point.)
20
Turbidity Report and Individual Filter
Monitoring
21
Turbidity Report
Combined Filter Effluent (CFE)

• List how many hours the plant operated during
  each day.

• Determine how many samples are required for each
  day. (these instructions are listed below the
  table)

• Number of hours the plant was in operation for
  the day
• Divide that number by 4
• Take that number and round it UP to the next
  whole number.

WE WILL BEGIN TO GIVE VIOLATIONS FOR THIS. (We
are able to give violations for this now, but
have not up to this point.)
22
A) This is to determine how many samples equal 5
of the total number of samples you actually took
for the month.Take the total of samples taken
for the month x 0.05 _________
B) How many of the samples exceeded 0.3 NTU?

• PWS, including those lt10,000 people, who are
  required to monitor turbidity must have at least
  95 of their monthly CFE samples below 0.3 NTU.
• Except those systems that use slow sand
  filtration They must have it below 0.5 NTU

C) Compare these numbers.
23
Individual Filter Turbidity Exceedance Report

• Filters are to be continuously monitored.

• As any filter exceeds one of the triggers (listed
  at the bottom of the report) please record it in
  this section and take the appropriate action in
  response.

24
Trigger Levels

• Any one filter has a measured turbidity level of
  greater than 1 NTU in 2 consecutive measurements
  taken 15 minutes apart
• Any one filter has a measured turbidity level of
  greater than 0.5 NTU in 2 consecutive
  measurements taken 15 minutes apart at the end of
  the first 4 hours of operation following a
  backwash or return to service.
• Any one filter has a measured turbidity level of
  greater than 1 NTU in 2 consecutive measurements
  taken 15 minutes apart at any time in each of 3
  consecutive months
• Any one filter has a measured turbidity level of
  greater than 2 NTU at any time in each of 2
  consecutive months

25
Report/Response Required
For Trigger A and Trigger B Filter number,
turbidity measurement, date of exceedance and
filter profile within 7 days of the exceedance,
if no obvious reason for exceedance For Trigger
CFilter number, turbidity measurement, date of
exceedance and a filter self-assessment within 14
days of the exceedance For Trigger D Filter
number, turbidity measurement, date of exceedance
and arrange for a Comprehensive Performance
Evaluation (CPE) with the Drinking Water Branch
no later than 30 days following the exceedance
26
Be sure to review, sign, and date the MOR.
Make sure you get it in the mail so it is
postmarked by the 10th of the following month.
