Disinfection
The Developer shall submit for approval to the Irish Water field engineer a method statement that includes drawings showing the location of the disinfectant insertion point and disinfection sampling points and which outlines the proposed methodology to be used for disinfection. Caption Pipelines shall be filled with potable water and a disinfectant inserted into the main to achieve a minimum free chlorine level of 20mg/l at the beginning of a 24 hour contact period. A maximum free chlorine level of 30mg/l shall not be exceeded at the beginning of the contact time period. Disinfection sample points shall be adjacent to the insertion point(s) and at the ends of the mains being disinfected. All pipelines shall be disinfected. This can be achieved generally using a sodium hypochlorite solution or other disinfectant subject to Irish Water approval which is suitable for drinking water disinfection. Typical products on the market contain 10 – 14% available chlorine by solution and the dose rate is dependent on the strength of the solution and the volume of water required in the Water Main.
