AWWA Standards 2013

guidelines for the water community

AWWA standards are vital guidelines for all facets of the water community. They provide the minimum requirements for design, installation, performance, and manufacturing of products used in
the water industry. Theres also a series covering utility management. Each standard designation
consists of two elements connected by a hyphen, such as B200-07, which indicates the standard is in the 200 series (Softening) and received AWWA board of directors approval in 2007.
New standards may be first editions or revisions of existing standards. AWWA standards are also
adopted as ANSI standards. Contact the AWWA Store, www.awwa.org/store, 800.926.7337, or
custsvc@awwa.org. Watch the AWWA website or Journal - American Water Works Association for
official notice of new standards or any status changes to existing standards.
