ENVIRONMENTAL FINAL GOVERNING STANDARDS ITALY

ITALY - 3 Drinking Water
systems, and any collection or pretreatment storage facilities not under such control that are used
primarily in connection with such systems. A PWS is either a "community water system" or a
"non-community system":
C3.2.22.1. Community Water System (CWS). A PWS that has at least 15 service
connections used by year-round residents, or which regularly serves at least 25 year-round
residents.
C3.2.22.2. Non-Community Water System (NCWS). A PWS that serves the public, but
does not serve the same people year-round.
C3.2.22.2.1. Non-transient, Non-community Water System (NTNCWS). A PWS
that supplies water to at least 25 of the same people at least six months per year, but not yearround.
Examples include schools, factories, office buildings, and hospitals that have their own
water systems.
C3.2.22.2.2. Transient, Non-Community Water System (TNCWS). A PWS that
provides water to at least 25 persons (but not the same 25 persons) at least six months per year.
Examples include but are not limited to gas stations, motels, and campgrounds that have their
own water sources.
C3.2.23. Purchased Water. Any drinking water acquired from a non-DOD water system
permitted by the Competent Italian Authority to produce and distribute drinking water. Bottled
water is not considered as Purchased Water for the purposes of this Chapter.
C3.2.24. Sanitary Survey. An on-site review of the water source, facilities, equipment,
operation, and maintenance of a public water system to evaluate the adequacy of such elements
for producing and distributing potable water.
C3.2.25. Slow Sand Filtration. Water treatment process where raw water passes through a
bed of sand at a low velocity 0.365 m/hr (1.2 ft/hr), resulting in particulate removal by physical
and biological mechanisms.
C3.2.26. Total Trihalomethanes. The sum of the concentration in milligrams per liter of
chloroform, bromoform, dibromochloromethane, and bromodichloromethane.
C3.2.27. Underground Injection. A subsurface emplacement through a bored, drilled,
driven, or dug well where the depth is greater than the largest surface dimension, whenever a
principle function of the well is the emplacement of any fluid.
C3.2.28. Vulnerability Assessment. The process the commander uses to determine the
susceptibility to attack from the full range of threats to the security of personnel, family
members, and facilities, which provide a basis for determining antiterrorism measures that can
protect personnel and assets from terrorist attacks.
C3.2.29. Water Intended for Human Consumption. All water either in its original state or
after treatment, intended for drinking, cooking, food preparation or other domestic uses
regardless of its origin or supply mechanism.
