Water Management Plans

Waterborne pathogens and Legionella pose significant risk to the general population as water distribution systems become more complex. Duty of responsible care dictates that you be held responsible for an outbreak that occurs at your facility, so more and more building owners and facilities are creating and implementing water management plans (WMP). A WMP can help reduce the risk of disease, reduce legal risk, and complies with CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid) and ASHRAE (The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) Standard 188. New York and many European countries have already implemented laws that require building owners have a WMP in place which has led to other organizations to proactively put a plan in place.

Water management plans can be an overwhelming project to undertake depending on the size and complexity of water systems in a building. CE Water can help reduce the stress of creating a WMP by offering all the resources necessary to create a plan.

CE Water employees combine research data and field expertise to help avoid common pitfalls in water management. We provide our customers with an intuitive software that allows for companies to create a plan internally or outsource the work to CE Water. The program includes:

• Process Flow Diagrams of Water Systems
• Identifies Critical Control Points
• Control Measures and Limits
• Remediation and Corrective Actions
• Built in Training for Employees
• Status Reports for Tracking Compliance

Water is not sterile; therefore, many sources of water can be a harbor for waterborne pathogens. Sources of water can include:

• Cooling Towers/Evaporative Condensers
• Decorative Water Features
• Whirlpools/Spas
• Potable Water Systems
• Humidification Equipment
