About this file

This is a water quality data attachment related to the University of Texas at Austin's solicitation for a turnkey ultrapure deionized (DI) water system. The document presents comparative water quality test results across three water treatment facilities: a Drinking Water Treatment Plant (DWTP), Ultrapure Water Treatment Plant (UWTP), and Heated Water Treatment Plant (HWTP), measuring both raw water sources and treated tap water outputs against Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) and Secondary Maximum Contaminant Levels (SMCLs). The tested parameters include calcium levels, electrical conductivity, and E. coli concentrations, with measurements documented in parts per million or equivalent units across all six sampling points.

The data demonstrates baseline water quality conditions and treatment effectiveness at the university's existing facilities, providing critical specifications for evaluating vendor proposals for the new ultrapure water system. The conductivity measurements range from 377 to 519 umhos/cm, calcium levels from 12 to 40 units, and E. coli levels from 5 to 8 MPN/100ml across the measured points. This technical information serves as essential reference material for qualified vendors to understand the incoming water quality characteristics and treatment performance standards required for the design and installation of the proposed turnkey ultrapure DI water system at the University of Texas at Austin.
