Title:Regional drinking water quality monitoring program: long-term monitoring of water quality in select canals, reservoirs, and treatment plants of the greater Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area drinking water system, ongoing since 1998
Alternate Identifier:DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:
Regional Drinking Water Quality Monitoring Program ================================================== Arizona Statue University (ASU) has been working with regional water providers (Salt River Project (SRP), Central Arizona Project (CAP)) and metropolitan Phoenix cities since 1998 on algae-related issues affecting drinking water supplies, treatment, and distribution. The results have improved the understanding of taste and odor (T&O) occurrence, control, and treatment, improved the understanding of dissolved organic and algae dynamics, and initiated a forum to discuss and address regional water quality issues. The monitoring benefits local Water Treatment Plants (WTPs) by optimizing ongoing operations (i.e., reducing operating costs), improving the quality of municipal water for consumers, facilitating long-term water quality planning, and providing information on potentially future-regulated compounds. ASU has been monitoring water quality in terminal reservoirs (Lake Pleasant, Saguaro Lake, and Bartlett Lake) continuously from 1998 to the present for algae-related constituents (taste and odors, and more recently metals from the upper reservoirs), nutrients, and disinfection by-product precursors (i.e., total and dissolved organic carbon and organic nitrogen). Additional monitoring has been conducted in the SRP and CAP canal systems and in water treatment plants in Phoenix, Tempe and Peoria. During this work the Valley has been in a prolonged drought and recently one above average wet year, and this data provides important baseline data for development of new or expanded WTPs and management of existing WTPs in the future. The current work has improved the understanding of T&O sources and treatment, but additional research and monitoring into the future is necessary. Reservoir monitoring is conducted once per month at Bartlett Lake, Saguaro Lake, and Lake Pleasant, and quarterly at Roosevelt, Apache, and Canyon Lakes. Samples are depth integrated in the epilimnion and hypolimnion. CAP will collect samples from Lake Pleasant. SRP will collect samples from Bartlett, Saguaro, Roosevelt, Apache, and Canyon Lakes. Field measurements for temperature with depth will also be collected. River samples (Salt River below Saguaro Lake @ Blue Point Bridge and Verde River at the Beeline Highway) will be collected once per month. Samples will be analyzed for carbon (TOC/DOC), total nitrogen, total phosphorous, arsenic, conductance and T&O compounds (MIB, Geosmin, Cyclocitrol). The purpose of the lake sampling is to provide early warning information on potentially large changes in water quality – due to algae production, lake destratification, and forest fire or other runoff events. Additional monthly sampling will be coordinated with USGS (Salt River above Roosevelt, Verde River at Tangle) and CAP (Lake Havasu). Canal monitoring is conducted once per month (January through June), and twice per month as needed during periods of higher T&O production (i.e., July-December). Field measurements for temperature and pH will be made. Sampling will include the CAP, Arizona, and South canals at multiple locations. Monthly samples will be analyzed for carbon (TOC/DOC), SUVA/UV254, total dissolved nitrogen, microbes, conductance, and T&O compounds (MIB and Geosmin). Bi-weekly samples will be analyzed only for T&O compounds. The purpose of the canal sampling is to identify hot-spots of T&O production and to make recommendations to the cities/SRP/CAP to perform some type of treatment (brushing, copper, etc.). Additional canal sampling will be scheduled to further identify canal hot spots or to provide more frequent process control information. WTP raw and finished water is collected once per month (January through June), and twice per month as needed during periods of higher T&O production (e.g., July-December). WTP sampling will be conducted at two Tempe WTPs, one Peoria WTP, Glendale WTPs and other selected WTPs. Monthly samples will be analyzed for carbon (TOC/DOC), SUVA/UV254, total dissolved nitrogen, microbes, conductance, and T&O compounds (MIB and Geosmin). Bi-weekly samples will be analyzed only for T&O compounds. The purpose of the WTP sampling is to provide continued evaluation of water quality produced at the WTPs.

Description:
Regional Water Quality Sampling =============================== Overview -------- Grab water samples were collected for analysis from canals and water treatment plants in headspace-free, amber glass containers. Water samples for metals analysis were collected in centrifuge tubes and acidified with nitric acid for stability. Lake samples were obtained from the epilimnion and hypolimnion by way of a Kemmerer sampler. All samples were kept on ice in the field and stored at 4 degrees Celsius until analyzed. Nutrient samples that could not be analyzed within 24 hours were frozen. Field measurements for dissolved oxygen, pH, and temperature were made using a portable meter. Water clarity for lake samples was measured using a Secchi Disk. Taste and odor compounds were measured using solid phase micro extraction and injected onto a GC-MS/MS. Total nutrients were obtained by way of persulfate digestion and then analysis on a continuous flow colorimetric analyzer. Metals data were obtained by ICP-MS. Purpose ------- The regional water quality sampling project began in 1999 with an EPA order for various municipalities in the Phoenix metropolitan area to address taste and odor issues that were plaguing the regional water supply. The compounds of concern were identified as 2-methylisoborneol (MIB) which causes as musty odor, and Geosmin which causes an earthy taste. Both compounds are released by algae that grows in the reservoirs and canals that compose the region’s surface water supply, especially during summer when abundant sunshine and warm temperatures promote algal blooms. Complaints from water utility users were so numerous that the issue had to be addressed. Although these compounds do not cause any health problems, they create foul odor and taste which causes users to lose faith in their water utilities and question the reliability of the treatment process. Both chemicals can be detected in concentrations as low as 10 ng/L and during peak summer algal blooms this concentration is regularly exceeded. The project has been ongoing since 1999, providing valuable data to the region’s water utilities about the water supply. The project data has been used in a variety of other projects examining topics ranging from disinfection by-product formation to invasive species infestation. Initially managed by the Westerhoff Group at Arizona State University, today the project is run by Dr. Peter Fox and Dr. Morteza Abbaszadegan. What Parameters Do We Test? --------------------------- As part of the Regional Water Quality Sampling Project the following tests are performed: - UV254 Absorbance to look for natural organic matter - DOC (Dissolved Organic Carbon) - E. coli and fecal coliform count - Mycobacterium count - TDN (Total Dissolved Nitrogen) - MIB (Methyl Isoborneol) and Geosmin - Turbidity and Conductivity - ICPMS to look for trace metals.

This is completed by placing the materials into a furnace and heating to 600 Celsius, which burns off any carbon present. This allows us to be certain that any carbon detected during total organic carbon analysis or UV 254 analysis was introduced from the environment and not some other source of contamination. Objects that should be ashed include 40 mL vials, DOC vials for the TOC analyzer, and Glass Filters for sample processing. To ash your materials: 1. Wrap the materials in aluminum foil. Make sure that everything is completely covered so that it will not become contaminated after removal from the furnace. Filters can be ashed by placing 50 or so in an envelope made by folding aluminum foil (they do not have to be individually placed). 2. Place wrapped materials into the furnace located in the LER. Ensure that the door is able to close without obstruction. Close the door and lock into place by turning the handle 3. Press the run button once. You should see a program pop up. Press the run button again. You will hear a click. The furnace will automatically heat to 600 Celsius and cool off. Do not open the furnace door if the internal temperature is more than 100 Celsius. This will result in glassware shattering due to rapid temperature change. 4. Once materials have cooled bring them back to the lab and place them in a safe place. ### Autoclaving Microbial Bottles Bottles used for microbial samples must be autoclaved prior to use in order to sterilize them. This ensures that all microbial colonies detected during sampling are actually coming from the sample and not just from contamination in the bottles. The autoclave is located in ISTB4 Lab 321. To autoclave the bottles follow this procedure: 1. Check to make sure that what you are autoclaving is actually autoclavable. Using non-autoclavable bottles will result in them melting and possibly damaging the autoclave. 2. Loosen caps on the bottles so that they are only tightened a quarter turn. If the caps are too tight the change in pressure in the autoclave will result in rupturing of the bottles. 3. Place a strip of autoclave tape over the top of the bottle/cap to ensure that the cap does not fall off the bottle. The autoclave tape will turn black upon completion to help you verify that the proper temperature for sterilization did actually occur. 4. Check to make sure autoclave is at proper water levels. There should be water inside the bottom of the autoclave and the water tank should have a level between low and high. 5. Place bottles in the basket and place inside autoclave. Secure the lid by locking the latch. 6. Select solid mode and ensure that temperature is set for 121 C and time is set for 15 minutes. Autoclaving takes approximately 1.5 hours. 7. Remove objects from autoclave and secure lids. Store in a place where no one will mistakenly steal sterilized bottles. ### Preparation of Microbial Media We need to make two types of media – Brilliance for coliform and E. coli detection and 7H11 for mycobacterium detection. Each plate should have 15-20 mL of media in it to avoid drying out during incubation. #### To make Brilliance media: 1. Figure out how much media you will be making. You can make up to 2 months of media at a time. Each site where microbial measurements are taken (Pima, 56th, Cent, R3, HOC, HTC, MOC, R11, R12, R13, HWY 87, and R25) needs its own plate. 2. Measure out the required volume of water. You will need to use DI water. 3. Pour water into a flask place on hotplate and begin heating. Add a magnetic stirrer and mix. 4. Measure out the media (the side of the bottle has the required ratio of media to water). 5. Add the media and cover the flask with aluminum foil. 6. Once the solution is boiling and clears up turn off the heat. 7. Cool the media down to 50 C (approximately when you can touch the glass without burning your hand). 8. Turn on a Bunsen burner and allow it to run. Using a 25 mL serological pipette fill each plate with 15ish mL of liquid media. Allow media to cool on benchtop. 9. Once media is cool and has solidified place the plates in a bag and label with your name, media type and date. Store lid side down in the fridge until use is required. #### To make 7H11 media: 1. Figure out how much media you will be making. You can make up to 2 months of media at a time. You will need 1 plate for every 2 sampling sites. 2. Measure out the required volume of water. You will need to use DI water. 3. Pour water into a flask place on hotplate and begin heating. Add a magnetic stirrer and mix. 4. Measure out the media (the side of the bottle has the required ratio of media to water). 5. Add the media and 1 mL of 50% glyceryl solution for every 100 mL of solution and cover the flask with aluminum foil. 6. Once the solution is boiling and clears up turn off the heat. 7. Take the solution along with another flask filled with 100 mL DI water to the autoclave and autoclave on the 15 min liquid default cycle. 8. Once autoclave is complete bring the solution back to the lab and place it on a mixer. Add 10 mL of OADC growth supplement (kept in the fridge) for every 100 mL of solution. Transfer 10 mL of autoclaved DI water into 1 vial of Panta BBL Antibiotic (also kept in fridge) mix and add to solution for every 100 mL of solution. Mix thoroughly 9. Turn on a Bunsen burner and allow it to run. Using a 25 mL serological pipette fill each plate with 15ish mL of liquid media. Allow media to cool on benchtop. 10. Once media is cool and has solidified place the plates in a bag and label with your name, media type and date. Store lid side down in the fridge until use is required. Analysis -------- ### Membrane Filtration for E. coli and Fecal Coliforms Within 24 hours of sample collection you will need to filter the microbial samples to quantify coliforms and E. coli. Samples should be refrigerated from collection until membrane filtration. To perform membrane filtration: 1. Gather required supplies for membrane filtration (forceps, Bunsen burner and propane, Millipore membrane filters, ethyl alcohol, lighter, autoclaved filtration cups). 2. Check the level of the pump oil and fill to the line if necessary. 3. Remove the cap from one of the vacuums on the filtration unit. Spray with ethyl alcohol solution and light with Bunsen burner. This will sterilize the surface. 4. Flame the forceps in the Bunsen burner. Pick up a Millipore filter and place on the vacuum. 5. Place a filtration cup over the vacuum. Pour the sample up to 100 mL line on the filtration cup. 6. Turn on the vacuum pump and twist the valve to open the vacuum to filter the samples. 7. Once all of the sample has drained through the vacuum close the valve and shut off the pump. 8. Flame the forceps, remove the filtration cup, and pick up the filter from the vacuum. Place on top of the Brilliance media plate (hatched side up) being careful not to trap any air bubbles under the filter. 9. Repeat the process until all samples have been filtered. Place all plates in the incubator lid side down. Incubate 18-24 hours and count. Coliform colonies are purple/pink while E. coli colonies are blue. Be sure to dump the filtered water in the flask after you perform membrane filtration as part of clean up. If you cannot count the samples right away place them in the fridge lid side down. You have a few days before the plates will no longer be countable. ### Membrane Filtration for Mycobacterium Mycobacterium is the other microbe that we look for. Samples must be filtered within 2 weeks of collection (mycobacterium is a much hardier organism than coliforms). Samples should be refrigerated from collection until membrane filtration. To perform membrane filtration: 1. Gather required supplies for membrane filtration (forceps, Bunsen burner and propane, Millipore membrane filters, ethyl alcohol, lighter, autoclaved filtration cups). 2. Check the level of the pump oil and fill to the line if necessary. 3. Remove the cap from one of the vacuums on the filtration unit. Spray with ethyl alcohol solution and light with Bunsen burner. This will sterilize the surface. 4. Flame the forceps in the Bunsen burner. Pick up a Millipore filter and place on the vacuum. 5. Place a filtration cup over the vacuum. Pour the sample up to 100 mL line on the filtration cup. 6. Turn on the vacuum pump and twist the valve to open the vacuum to filter the samples. Drain the sample down to approximately 5 mL and close the valve (shut off the pump). 7. Add 5 mL of 4% NaOH solution. Cover the filtration cup with aluminum foil and let it sit for 30 minutes. 8. After 30 minutes add 5 mL of 3% HCl solution. Allow the sample to sit for 1 minute to neutralize. Turn on the pump and drain the remaining sample. 9. Once all of the sample has drained through the vacuum close the valve and shut off the pump. 9. Flame the forceps, remove the filtration cup, and pick up the filter from the vacuum. Place on top of the 7H11 media plate (hatched side up) being careful not to trap any air bubbles under the filter. 10. Repeat the process until all samples have been filtered. Place all plates in the incubator lid side down. Incubate for 2 weeks and count. Due to the expense of the 7H11 media we generally put 2 filters on each plate. If you cannot count the samples right away place them in the fridge lid side down. You have a few days before the plates will no longer be countable. ### Sample Filtration for UV254/DOC Collected samples will need to be filtered through ashed 0.45 micron glass filters to remove particles to ensure that the only carbon remaining is dissolved carbon (the difference between DOC – Dissolved Organic Carbon and TOC- Total Organic Carbon). To filter these samples follow the following procedure: 1. Make sure that you have ashed the 0.45 micron glass filters before filtration 2. Using a gloved hand place 1 filter inside the filter tip for the 60 mL syringe. 3. Attach the filter tip to the 60 mL syringe once the plunger has been removed. 4. Pour 20-30 mL of your sample from the 250 mL amber bottle into the syringe, swirl and dump out to rinse the syringe. 5. Fill the 60 mL syringe all the way full of your sample. Place the syringe over the 40 mL vial, insert the plunger and flush sample through the filter down to the 40 mL mark on the syringe. 6. Dump the vial out to rinse it. 7. Filter the remaining 40 mL from the syringe into the 40 mL vial and cap. 8. Move on to the next sample. ### UV254 To run UV254 follow this procedure: 1. Turn on the Hach DR 5000 by flicking the power switch back panel on the upper left side. 2. System will perform self check 3. Select single wavelength, confirm that 254 is the wavelength selected 4. Insert cuvette filled with nanopure and select zero 5. Dump the nanopure and fill with your sample sample then press read, it will display the absorbance value. 6. Record the absorbance value, dump your sample and refill the cuvette with the next sample. 7. Once all samples have been run flick the power switch to turn off the machine. In between samples you may spill on the cuvette. Use a kimwipe to clean off the surface of the cuvette without scratching it. Make sure that you are using a quartz cuvette. The plastic cuvettes will not give you accurate results. ### DOC Once you have filtered your samples into the 40 mL amber vials you can run DOC (Dissolved Organic Carbon). The tool we use for this is the Shimadzu TOC-5000A Total Organic Carbon Analyzer. To operate the TOC-5000A complete the following procedure: 1. Turn on the gas cylinder by turning the metal valve on top of the cylinder in a counterclockwise direction 1 turn. You should see the indicators on the regulator turn to indicate the pressure of the cylinder and the pressure of the gas flowing through the line. The right indicator is the pressure of the cylinder, which should be about 2000 psi when full. This pressure will slowly decrease over time as you run samples until it reaches 500 psi, in which case the cylinder pressure will be too low to continue operation and a new cylinder will have to be ordered. The indicator on the left is the pressure of the gas flowing through the line, which should be adjusted to 90 psi by turning the dial on the regulator. 2. Turn on the TOC Analyzer by flipping the switch located on the bottom rear of the left side panel of the machine. It will begin to power on. Press F5 for the ASI Initial Option, which will begin to start up the machine. The autosampler will begin to rotate and toggle the needles back and forth as part of a self check. Once home position is found the machine will be turned on. Press F1 for next. 3. Use the arrows on the control panel to select option 3 General Conditions. Press Enter to select. Scroll down to Furnace On/Off and press 1 to turn it to TOC mode. This will begin to heat the furnace of the TOC Analyzer. Return to the main menu by selecting F2. 4. Scroll down to 6 Monitor to observe the conditions of the machine. There are 5 characteristics here to ensure that the machine is operating correctly: TC Furnace Temperature (Should be 680 C for proper operation), Dehumidifier Temperature (Should be 0.5-2 C for proper operation), Baseline Position (should be at the middle of the screen near 0 on the plot), Baseline Fluctuation (should be smooth without any waves), and Baseline Noise (should not have bumps in the baseline). Once everything is ready it will say OK next to each parameter and if things are not ready they will say NG. The Green light will come on next to Ready on the front panel once the machine is ready to run samples. You can check the carrier gas in the machine (next to sparge gas) and adjust to 150 ml/min for proper operation. Sparge gas should be adjusted to 90 ml/min when sparging. You generally want to run a steady baseline for a few hours prior to initiating a sample run. 5. Load your samples and standards into the autosampler. Number a piece of paper with the numbers of the vials on the autosampler. Begin by loading blanks (nanopure water) into the first 3 vials. Pour your filtered samples from the 40 mL vials into the DOC vials and place them in position, noting the vial number on your piece of paper. 3 Blanks should be run every 10-12 vials to validate accuracy of the TOC analysis. Blanks should be within +/- 0.5 mg/L of 0 mg/L to ensure accurate data. 6. Perform a final check of the machine prior to beginning your run. Ensure that all of the samples and standards have been properly loaded. Ensure that the lid of the autosampler is properly on. Ensure that the nanopure rinse water and humidifier water levels are appropriately full. Ensure that there is enough printout paper loaded in the top of the machine. Address these issues before beginning sample run. 7. Return to the main menu and select 9 Auto Sampler to set up your sample run. Under Type make sure that NPOC is selected. For IS, which means initial sample, type the number of the initial vial you would like to run from the autosampler. For FS, which means final sample, type the number of the final vial you would like to run from the autosampler. Under C1 click enter to select the calibration curve. Using CAL Curve F1 you will see the 1st Standard as 10 mg/L in vial S4, 2nd Standard as 5 mg/L in vial S3, 3rd Standard as 1 mg/L in vial S2, and 4th Standard as 0 mg/L in vial S1. You should select an injection volume of 53 microliters, 3 injections with a maximum of 5, an SD of 200, and a CV of 2.0%. Sparge time should be set to 5 minutes. Make sure shift to origin and acid addition are both off. Press F2 to return. 8. Ensure that your sample volume is set to 53 microliters, 3 injections with a maximum of 5, 200 SD, 2.0% CV, and 2 SP (sparge time) for your samples. Once this is complete press F1 for next. Ensure that Rinse is turned on, 2 needle washes and 2 flow line washes are selected. Press F2 for next. Press Start and your samples will begin to run. The autosampler will allow for your samples to run on their own without any additional effort from you. Samples can be run overnight. It generally takes between 18-24 hours to run an entire month’s worth of samples. Once you return to see that all the samples have finished running you can power down the machine if it has cooled. The machine will tell you whether it is ok to power down or whether you should allow it to stay on for 30 minutes to prevent overheating. To power down the machine flick the power switch and turn off the gas cylinder. ### TDN TDN is run by the Goldwater Environmental Lab.

Abstract:Phase IV of the Central Arizona-Phoenix LTER (CAP) continues to focus on the question: How do the ecosystem services provided by urban ecological infrastructure (UEI) affect human outcomes and behavior, and how do human actions affect patterns of urban ecosystem structure and function and, ultimately, urban sustainability and resilience? The overarching goal is to foster social-ecological urban research aimed at understanding these complex systems using a holistic, ecology of cities perspective while contributing to an ecology for cities that enhances urban sustainability and resilience. This goal is being met through four broad programmatic objectives: (1) use long-term observations and datasets to articulate and answer new questions requiring a long-term perspective; (2) develop and use predictive models and future-looking scenarios to help answer research questions; (3) employ existing urban ecological theory while articulating new theory; and (4) build transdisciplinary partnerships to foster resilience and enhance sustainability in urban ecosystems while educating urban dwellers of all ages and experiences. CAP IV research is organized around eight interdisciplinary questions and ten long-term datasets and experiments, and researchers are organized into eight Interdisciplinary Research Themes to pursue these long-term research questions.
