该AwwaRF项目的重点是开发配水系统水质 优化计划（DSOP）。 系统优化在这里被定义为一个过程，水务设施需要经过改进 配电系统的运行超出了监管要求，以改善水质 提高质量，减少污染的可能性。 该项目有两个主要目标: 为三家参与的公用事业公司开发特定的DSOP；并且，开发适用于任何规模的实用程序的DSOP模板或大纲。 通过进行审计和实地调查，完成了第一个项目目标 三个配电系统的条件和运行状态。在审计中使用了 确定优势以及需要改进的领域，以达到行业标准 用于配电系统。建立水质和运营目标，并记录 每个系统。这些目标用于确定参与的公用事业公司的项目 将重点放在他们的DSOP上。随后，各个分销系统项目在 每个公用设施和这些元件都在每个公用设施位置进行了现场测试和改进。 基于公用事业公司的经验和项目团队的经验和知识 制定了最佳管理实践模板以及总体大纲和方法 实现DSOP。包括41个参考文献和表格。

This AwwaRF project focused on developing distribution system water quality optimization plans (DSOPs). System optimization is defined here as a process that water utilities undergo to improve distribution system operations above and beyond regulatory requirements to improve water quality and reduce the potential for contamination. The project had two main objectives: to develop specific DSOPs for three participating utilities; and, to develop a DSOP template or outline applicable to utilities of any size. The first project objective was completed by conducting an audit and field investigations of the conditions and operating status of each of three distribution systems. The audits were used to identify strong points as well as areas that needed to be improved to meet industry standards for distribution systems. Water quality and operating goals were established and documented for each system. These goals were used to determine which programs the participating utilities would focus on for their DSOP. Individual distribution system programs were then developed at each utility and these elements were field-tested and refined at each utility location. Based on the utility experiences and the project team's experience and knowledge, a template of best management practices was developed as well as a general outline and approach to implementing DSOPs.
