Department
of Public Works Representative
As a member of the public works department
you must insure the audience that the water that leaves the processing
plant meets the standards for drinking. In order to do that you
must be able to do the following:
What is the direct source of the
water that is treated for drinking water?
Describe the process, in steps,
that water goes through before it is released into the city water
supply. Supply a visual aide to help the audience understand.
What tests does the department
of public works do on the water after it is treated and before
it is released. Are there tests run to determine the concentration
of lead that is in the water before it is released?
At what point does the pipe line
from the plant end and city plubing start? What material is it
made from and how is it joined from pipe to pipe?
What areas are supplied from your
water source?
Is there monitoring of the water
that occurs at various stations after it has left the treatment
plant?
What information/evidence can
you provide to convince the audience that your department is
free from any responsibility when it comes to the concentration
of lead in the drinking water of customers?
