the
surface
water
source
(
flowing
stream,

or
ground
water
under

the
connection
of
untreated
water
from
one
or
more
wells
to
a
water
treatment
plant
or
directly
into
the

multiple
wells
flows
through
a
common
pipe
prior

A
water
treatment
plant
is
any
facility
where
water
is
filtered,
disinfected,
and/
or
otherwise
treated
prior
to
its
transmission
into
the

system).
For
the
purposes
of
this
survey,
simple
disinfection
only
or
pH
adjustment
prior
to
entry
into
the
distribution
system
are
considered
to
be
a
water
treatment
plant.
Other
examples
include
large

filtration
plants
and
chemical
feed
on
wells
for
disinfection.
It
does
not
include
facilities
within
the
distribution
system
that
boost
disinfection.

A
buyer
refers

treatment
plant
is
any

otherwise
improves
the
quality
of
the
water.
It

Average
daily
production

the
number
of
days
the
plant
was

Mathematically,
it
is
the
