Any water system serving 7 or more homes, 10 or more mobile homes, 10 or more apartment units, 10 or more duplex units, or 10 or more condominium units shall be considered a community water system unless information is provided by the owners indicating that 25 year-round residents will not be served. NR 810.02(7)(7) “Consecutive system” means a public water system that receives some or all of its finished water from one or more wholesale suppliers or wholesaler systems through a master metering system. This system may also be known as a wholesale purchaser or wholesale customer. Delivery may be through a direct connection or through the distribution system of one or more consecutive systems. NR 810.02(8)(8) “Conventional filtration treatment” means a series of processes including coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration resulting in substantial particulate removal. NR 810.02(9)(9) “Cross connection” means a connection or potential connection between any part of a water supply system and another environment containing substances in a manner that, under any circumstances, would allow the substances to enter the water supply system by means of back siphonage or back pressure. NR 810.02(10)(10) “CT” or “CT calc” is the product of the residual disinfectant concentration (C) in mg/l determined before or at the first customer, and the corresponding disinfectant contact time (T) in minutes, for example, “C” x “T”. If a public water system applies disinfectants at more than one point prior to the first customer, the water supplier shall determine the CT of each disinfectant sequence before or at the first customer, to determine the total percent inactivation or “total inactivation ratio.” The inactivation ratio for a single disinfectant sequence is: where “CTtable” is the CT value required for the target organism and the target level of inactivation as contained in ss. NR 810.47 to 810.61. The sum of the inactivation ratios, or total inactivation ratio for a series of disinfection sequences is: and is calculated by adding together the inactivation ratio for each disinfection sequence. In determining the total inactivation ratio, the water supplier shall determine the residual disinfectant concentration of each sequence and corresponding contact time before any subsequent disinfection application points. A total inactivation ratio equal to or greater than 1.0 is assumed to provide the target level of disinfection of the target organism.

NR 810.02(14)(b)(b) Where more than one “C” is measured, “T” is determined as follows: NR 810.02(14)(b)1.1. For the first measurement of “C”, “T” is the time in minutes that it takes for water to move from the first or only point of disinfectant application to a point before or at the point where the first “C” is measured. NR 810.02(14)(b)2.2. For subsequent measurements of “C”, “T” is the time in minutes that it takes for water to move from the previous “C” measurement point to the “C” measurement point for which the particular “T” is being calculated. NR 810.02(14)(c)(c) Disinfectant contact time in pipelines shall be calculated based on “plug flow” by dividing the internal volume of the pipe by the maximum hourly flow rate through the pipe.
