...Analysis of Municipal Water Lab Report Introduction: The recent problem that the townspeople have brought to my attention is the declining quality of the tap water. Many were unpleased with their water, so I decided to conduct my own test instead of using an outside company. Based on the complaints that the residents brought to recent town meetings, I discovered what ions could be causing the problem and began to test them. I used a Hach spectrophotometer and its instructional manual to determine the ions concentrations in the town’s water supply. The ions tested for were total chlorine, copper, fluoride, total iron, manganese, nitrogen (nitrate), phosphate, sulfate, sulfide, and zinc. Following the manual each ion’s concentration was tested for, each ion required a different powder pillow to be mixed with the water sample. Every ion that was tested also needs a blank, a separate test tube that’s concentration would be considered 0.00 mg/L. If the meter went off scale or read over range during any of the test then it would be diluted down and retested until it was in range. Next we tested the pH of the water sample by using pH paper. The pH record value of the water sample was 5. Then we tested the hardness of the water sample. I accurately measured 50-mL of the water sample with a graduated cylinder and poured it into a 125-mL flask. I then added 1-mL of pH 10 buffer and a few drops of the Eriochrome Black T indication solution. At this point the solution was a medium...

...discovered that the city’s water contained dangerous amounts of lead. After a switch in water supply in April 2014, the number of children in Flint with elevated lead levels in their blood nearly doubled from 2013 to 2015 (Newland 2016). The Flint water crisis attracted national attention and led to a class-action lawsuit filed by city residents. Many Americans were shocked that the land of opportunity could fail the residents of Flint so badly. Many also pointed out that such a problem would not be likely in a more affluent area of the United States. While the United States is not lacking in quality water, the infrastructure delivering water...

...Lyndy Marie T. Casiño Business Policy A PEST Analysis on “Manila Water Expanding in Southern Philippines” Political Not many companies are comfortable in entering long term agreement with local governments whose elected official’s tenure lasts only for three years (unless re-elected, but only up to a maximum of 9 year-stay in office ) due to changes that can be incurred in terms of governance and contract management. In fact in 2000, Manila Water initially negotiated with Metro Cebu Water District, a state-owned utility but failed due to disagreements before negotiations with the local government commenced (1). The Cebu bulk water project is a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) project. Under the law, one of the most important conditions needed to be met for BOT projects is that it has to undertake the price or “Swiss” challenge. Manila Water in September 2009 declared its unsolicited proposal for the project to be subjected to “Swiss” challenge before approval or acceptance of partnership from Cebu Provincial Government (2). After the bidding process, in 2012, Manila Water successfully bagged the P700M project. Partnership of Manila Water Consortium and Cebu Provincial Government to provide water service to Cebuanos is one of Pres. Noynoy Aquino’s goals in his Public-Private Partnership (PPP) program. This partnership has been duly supported by the administration. Economic With the strategic location of Cebu, it has been a favourite destination of tourists...

...In the article “The Politics of Water in Bolivia”, the author Jim Shultz mainly talks about how in Bolivia the citizens weren’t so happy with the fact that they had to hand their water supplies over to foreign corporations. Although they lose water, the World Bank says that they are too ill equipped to have water privatization, Bolivia also relies on foreign assistance so they really have no say in what they can and cannot do. They need other foreign countries’ help for supplies for the civilians. For example, in El Alto, the chief complaint about the World Bank was that it left tens of thousands of families with no water. The uprising in Bolivia and many small foreign countries have stated that they are philosophically opposed to putting...

...bottled water industry and how certain companies such as Nestle are taking advantage of the resource and the citizens of not only America but of the surrounding communities of these springs and oil refineries. This is a scary situation because it gives the power of controlling of water to a select few companies and allows them to distribute it as they please. It is noted in the film that if this distribution continues to take place, by the year 2030 nearly 2/3 of the world’s population will be lacking aces to clean drinking water. Water is beginning to be looked at as a commodity, much like gas is, thus leading to exploitation of the resource. This is wrong in many ways because water is a necessity of life...

...Analysis of the City of Columbus’ Waste Water Treatment Facility Budget process in the face of potential budget cuts and management promotion potential tied to budget performance Ann Paxton, the manager of The City of Columbus’ Waste Water Treatment Plant, is in the process of preparing her budget for the upcoming year. In reviewing the prior year’s numbers she has determined that her budget should be approximately $4,200,000 but due to budget cuts she is anticipating a 10% budget cut by the controller due to reduced tax revenues. Since promotions are tied to budget performance, she feels that submitting a budget of $4,900,000 would cover the shortfall and keep her under budget. Ann’s proposed Budget is $700,000 more than her anticipated expenses. By inflating her budget amount, Ann is padding her budget and setting herself up for the potential of being found out and receiving disciplinary action. By tying Ann’s promotion potential to budget performance, when they are cutting the budget and the amount of waste processed are out of her control, the City is creating an incentive for her to attempt to pad her budget. It is Ann’s ethical duty to produce and present a budget that is true to cost and in the best interest of the City, not self-serving. When she inflates her budget in order to ensure that all her cost are covered, she is defeating the intent of the City to cut cost and work leaner at a time when revenues are being reduced. It could also cause potential issues...

....Legal Analysis When considering the engineering of a molten salt reactor (MSR), which is a class of nuclear fission reactors in which the primary coolant, or even the fuel itself, is a molten salt mixture. No Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors (LFTR) have been built to date, a revolutionary liquid reactor that runs not on uranium, but thorium. Although LFTR power plants have not yet been built, one can look at the issues that have arisen out of the manufacture and application of alternative nuclear reactors in the past, and the courts’ rulings on those issues, to determine what hazards exist. Obviously, in the case of an LFTR power plant, the most important issue to consider is what kind of hazards exist, and what kind of liability is ascribed, in the event of a failure of the LFTR power plant. When considering the legality of engineering and constructing an energy-producing reactor, there are a variety of applicable fields of law that can be utilized to analyze the potential issues that arise from the construction of a liquid fluoride thorium reactor power plant. However, the most prevalent applicable law would be tort law and the application of strict liability to the engineering and utilization of such a power plant. Strict liability, generally, speaking imposes negligence upon an individual, regardless of fault, when that individual engages in an abnormally dangerous activity. See Rosenblatt v. Exxon Co., 335 Md. 58, 69-70 (1994). When engaging in abnormally dangerous...

...A WATER UTILITY CONCESSIONER PORTERS FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS 1. Rivalry among existing competitors- Low to Non-Existent. Since it is under concession agreement, there is no other water utility company that can engage any business similar to A Water Utility concessioner, unless granted by the government under special agreement and with full knowledge and approval of A Water Utility concessioner. 2. Threat of new entrants- Low to Non-Existent. Companies that may want to apply for the concession must first comply with government requirements and also must have a substantial amount of capital investment (around 6 Billion Dollars starting capital), not to mention the technical expertise to run and maintain a water utility company. 3. Bargaining Power of Supplier- Medium. Although the primary raw material of A Water Utility concessioner is water which is basically free, the materials used for distribution line maintenance and expansion are quite few. Though this is the case, A Water Utility concessioner still has a slight control on the pricing of these materials unless the raw materials for these items like resin, steel, alum coagulating chemical used in treating raw water), etc. increases. 4. Bargaining Power of Customer- Medium. This is due to the regulated tariff by the government under the MWSS Regulatory office which deals directly with A Water Utility concessioner.\ 5. Threat of Substitute- Low. The small water refilling stations also get their...
