Q: What resources, products, and services are required for uninterrupted safe tap water supply? 1. Original sources like river water, lake water, or sea water are identified. 2. State planning and development is taken into consideration. 3. A water supply scheme is designed. 4. Vehicles for excavation and for other services. 5. Materials for construction of filtration plant and equipment to establish filtration plant. 6. Various purification methods like bleaching powder and chlorination. 7. Laboratory equipment to test water for safe human consumption. 8. Water tanks, pipes, and plumbing supplies are required. Q: Can any city or municipality or service manufacture or provide all products and services required to establish uninterrupted safe tap water supply even if river or lake is located in a city? A: No, they cannot. For all practical purposes, workers get products and service involved in this work from other areas of the state. In some regions, city municipality workers do operations and distribution of water. For all practical purposes, they are state workers. Q: Do products and services for water filtration, water tanks, vehicles, pipes, plumbing, maintenance, electricity, clothes, building materials, or food items for workers get produced from within the city area? A: No, they don't. Q: What workers, services, and vendors are required for tap water supply? A: Mechanical engineers, plumbers, and fitters; water tank, pipe, and plumbing product manufacturers; vehicle manufacturers and operators; bleaching powder manufacturers' filtration plant equipment and material manufacturers; and guides for workers. Are there any other workers that need to be included? | |||

Tube well water
Q: Can a tube well or any well be utilized for a regular pure tap water supply from ground water everyday? A: Experience has proven that a tube well can supplement other water resources, but it is not sufficient for a regular tap water supply. Tube well water can be utilized for occasional drinking water, bathing, and irrigation. People will face hardship if they try to utilize tube well water for everyday. | |||

Water Quality Control
Public Health Engineering/water works/etc, through technical monitoring, surveillance, and enforcement action, is responsible for assuring that quality of drinking water, as distributed by public supply or obtained commercially as bottled water, is in full compliance with Federal, State, and local standards. This task is accomplished by surveillance sampling and performance of water treatment facility inspections. | |||
|
The PHE also assures that the quality of waters used for recreational purposes, at pools and beaches, are constructed and operated in compliance which protect the public health and safety.

How much water should you drink every day? Nobody knows for sure and different people have different views. Experts say that you should drink at least eight glasses of water every day; a glass of water is about 8 ounces or about .236 milliliters. How much water should you drink each day? People more than 18 years of age should drink at least 1.5 to 2 liters of water daily. Water consumption for children How much drinking water do children need every 24 hours? How much formula? For the first 6 months your baby should be taking 150-200 mls of formula per 1 kg (or 70-90 mls per lb). For example, a baby weighing 5 kg should take 750-1000 mls in 24 hours (150/200 mls multiplied by 5). It is normal for some babies to take slightly more than this, some a little less. Commonly, babies have 6-7 feeds every 24 hours - researchers/pediatrician recommend you feed your baby whenever she/he is hungry. About 20 minutes is the right length of time for a feed but some babies are slow feeders and others fast. A slow feed could last up to one hour and a fast feed may be finished in 10 minutes. The flow of milk from the teat and wind are two factors that may affect your baby's feeding. Formula will provide a healthy baby with all the fluid needed in the first 6 months of life. It's only when your baby is unwell or very thirsty e.g. during hot weather, that additional drinks are needed. For a thirsty baby, cooled, boiled tap water is the best drink to offer. An unwell baby with diarrhoea needs to be given an oral reyhdration solution. What nutrients are in infant formulas? Baby formulas contain energy-providing nutrients (protein, carbohydrate and fat) as well as water (an essential nutrient) and appropriate vitamins and minerals. The energy nutrients provide the calories necessary to maintain bodily functions, support activity, and promote growth. They also support desirable immune functions as an outcome of overall nutrition. Protein provides the building blocks necessary to form and repair tissue. Vitamins and minerals are essential in the metabolism of energy nutrients. Minerals play an important part in bone structure, regulate certain body functions and, together with water, help maintain the body's water balance. Standard iron-fortified baby formulas are nutritionally complete foods for normal infants. When a physician recommends a formula not fortified with iron, another source of iron should also be recommended. A physician may recommend fluoride supplementation to infants at least 6 months of age only if the water supply is severely depleted of fluoride. Here are further guidelines. How can you tell if children are dehydrated? If your child has fever, diarrhea, or vomiting, or is sweating a lot on a hot day or during intense physical activity, watch for signs of dehydration, which can include: * Irritability (more crying, fussiness with inconsolability) * No tears when the child cries * Dry or sticky mucous membranes (the lining of the mouth or tongue) * Lethargy (less than normal activity) * Lack of urine or wet diapers for 6 to 8 hours in an infant (or only a very small amount of dark yellow urine) * Lack of urine for 12 hours in an older child (or only a very small amount of dark yellow urine) * Fatigue or dizziness in an older child * Sunken eyes * Sunken soft spot on the front of the head in babies (called the fontanel) Here are further guidelines. |

Plumber

What is a Plumber? According to one dictionary, a plumber is someone that fits and repairs water pipes. When you find out what a plumber does, it is much more complex than that. They also install and repair water systems as well as waste disposal and drainage for a home. Plumbers also install plumbing fixtures, sinks, bathtubs and toilets. You may also call in a plumber to install that new dishwasher. When all of a sudden you are taking a cold shower, it may be time to call in a plumber to install a new water heater. When that toilet wont unclog, find a plumber. 
Plumbing Tools Pliers (tongue and groove) Basin Wrench Compression Sleeve Puller Pipe Wrench Adjustable wrench Screw Drivers Allen Wrench Set Hacksaw Plumber's Putty Plumbers need many tools to get the plumbing work done right. A plumber that shows up at your door will usually have a truck stocked with tools and equipment for anything they might run into. A successful plumber knows that having the right tools can speed up the time it takes to finish a job. Most homeowners would not imagine the amount of money a plumber invests in tools and equipment. Using saws, pipe bending machines, pipe cutters and video camera inspection are just a few of the tools a plumber may need on a service call. We take for granted when everything is working right, but when the basement is flooded and you need a sump pump installed, what are you going to do? Find a plumber. You may have a slab leak or a hidden water leak behind a wall. A good plumber is like any other trade. Once you find a plumber you trust, you have the peace of mind knowing that your homes plumbing is in good hands in the case of an emergency. Do you need to findaplumber?
