Who Should Consider A Water Management Plan?

February 28, 2022, by Tower Water

water getting in to water management plantManaging the safety of the water at your facility comes with many important tasks; in fact, it can be such a comprehensive process that you may find it difficult or overwhelming to keep track of them. In part, this is the purpose of a water management plan. If you are a small building, or if you have never had a history of water system problems or bacterial outbreaks, you may be wondering if you even need a water management plan.

However, the reality is that almost any commercial building is suitable for a water management plan and should consider how this important tool can help to not only improve their efficiency but also keep people safe.

What Is A Water Management Plan?

A water management plan is a method of approaching water treatment strategically and comprehensively. You can use any tools that you want to keep your water clean and safe, but if you apply them haphazardly or inconsistently, or if you are not using the tools that your system needs, you will see minimal results.

Not only can water management plans help you to pinpoint areas of risk such as spaces conducive to bacterial overgrowth, but they can also assist you in understanding more about your system. This can help you to refine how much water you use and become more efficient overall, saving you both time and money as you make refinements. If all of this seems cumbersome, understand that experts are available to make this process more transparent and simpler to achieve; you do not need to tackle this project on your own.

A Brief Overview Of Implementing Your Water Management Plan

The first step in crafting an ideal water management plan is to survey your entire site to understand how comprehensive your needs might be. If you have a cooling tower, you automatically need a more refined plan than if you simply operate your indoor plumbing. Once you have identified the buildings or structures that are posing the highest risk, you can build a team in charge of water management for your facility and work with them to develop a treatment plan.

These individuals will be in charge of a variety of tasks, from outside vendors who supply critical parts to in-house operators who manage the tools that are being used. Be sure to craft your water management plan around both your goals and your realities; you can begin making your system more efficient in this way. Once you have crafted a plan, be sure to check it often to ensure it is working as intended; a water management plan is only as effective as you make it, and you need to understand where it is succeeding and where it needs more work.

Who Needs A Water Management Plan?

If your facility has a cooling tower, you are likely already mandated to use a water management plan in order to remain in compliance with local and state regulations against the spread of Legionella, a potentially deadly bacteria.

However, some of the most common buildings to rely on comprehensive water management plans include educational facilities, healthcare facilities like hospitals and nursing homes, large residential spaces such as apartments, office complexes and both heavy and light industrial buildings. Properties using cooling towers, fountains, swimming pools, central hot water, central misting/humidifying units or other water features can also benefit from water management to prevent bacterial overgrowth.

Additionally, most buildings larger than 10 stories are also ideal candidates for water management plans because their water treatment needs go above and beyond the bare minimum. If you are questioning whether you need a water treatment plan, you likely do. However, you do not need to figure this problem out on your own. The professionals can help you to understand not only whether you need a plan for your facility but how to achieve the ideal results and keep your water safe and clean for the long term.

Trust The Experts To Help You Navigate Water Treatment

Whether you are unsure if you need a plan or know that it is required but do not know where to start, leave it to the experts. The professionals at Tower Water specialize in keeping your facility up to date with water treatment so that you can stay safe, function more efficiently and remain in compliance with local and state regulations.
