The utilities represented in this paper have longstanding commitments to treatment excellence though Partnership for Safe Water as well as seamless regulatory compliance as regulations become increasingly stringent. This work in consistent with those objectives. It is hoped that this paper will be helpful to utilities having to make decisions about how to collect, analyze and store voluminous amounts of process data to meet these various objectives for regulatory compliance and voluntary treatment excellence beyond regulation. This paper summarizes extensive efforts to date of these four utilities to compile and analyze large filtered turbidity data sets from individual filter effluents from six different surface water treatment plants. Results have been compiled into the tables and discussions that are included in this paper. Highlights have been included from Kentucky-American Water Company (KAWC) facilities' experiences followed by a detailed analysis the Louisville Water Company (LWC) data from its two treatment facilities. With exception of the LWC case study, and certain examples where Kentucky-American's two facilities are compared to each other, different facilities have not been identified in specific graphics and tables. This is to avoid the temptation of comparing these utilities' performance using incongruous data or analyses. Includes tables, figures.
