Notes: * Sampling for these parameters may be within water supply zones or at supply points as specified in Table 3, subject to notes (ii) and (iii) below.
(i)Where the population is not an exact multiple of 5,000, the population figure should be rounded up to the nearest multiple of 5,000.
(ii)Check monitoring in water supply zones is required only where chloramination is practised. In other circumstances audit monitoring is required.
(iii)Audit monitoring in water supply zones is required only where sodium hypochlorite is added after water has left the treatment works. In other circumstances, audit monitoring is required at supply points.
(iv)To monitor for total indicative dose (for radioactivity).
