ANSI/AWWA standards
ANSI (American National Standards Institute) and AWWA (American Water Works Association) develop standards that ensure water systems and related products are safe, reliable, and consistent. These standards specify technical requirements for designing, testing, and maintaining equipment like pipes, valves, and treatment processes. By adhering to these guidelines, manufacturers and water utilities can deliver clean, safe water efficiently while ensuring interoperability and quality. In essence, ANSI/AWWA standards provide a trusted framework that supports the integrity and safety of water infrastructure nationwide.
