What is required if contamination is suspected in a pump?

If contamination is suspected in a pump, disinfection and testing are essential steps to ensure that water quality is maintained and safe for use. When a pump is potentially contaminated, there is a risk that harmful pathogens or pollutants may be present in the water supply.

Disinfection is necessary to eliminate any contaminants that may have entered the system, thus minimizing the risk of waterborne diseases and ensuring that the water meets regulatory safety standards. Following disinfection, testing of the water is critical to confirm that the disinfection process was effective and that the water is free from harmful substances.

This two-step process—disinfection followed by testing—provides a comprehensive approach to addressing contamination concerns, ensuring that the water remains safe for distribution and consumption.
