Public-Private
Partnership Proves Perfect for Cleveland, Mississippi Water System
As a result of its annual public water system capacity assessment inspection in March 2005,
the Mississippi State Department of Health awarded the City of Cleveland, Mississippi a
perfect rating for the operation of its water system. According to water officials in the town
of 16,500, a big reason for the high rating is the municipality’s private partner.

An Operational
Profile of an On-site Sodium Hypochlorite Generating System
In 1999, the City of Daytona Beach, Florida, had one water treatment and two wastewater treatment
facilities within its service area that exceeded the 2,500-pound threshold limit for gaseous chlorine.
As a result, a Risk Management Plan (RMP) had to be prepared and submitted to the Environmental
Protection Agency Risk Management Planning-Accidental Release Prevention Program. While developing a
Risk Management Plan to address the issue, the City staff evaluated the chlorination facilities at one
and determined that the 25-year old system was reaching the end of its useful life. Therefore, the City
decided to embark on a program to replace the gaseous chlorine system at the plant with a treatment
technology that would put them in better compliance with or eliminate RMP guidelines at that location.
