-How small must a system be in order to be able to collect all TC samples on
one day? - -4900 or fewer served
-How soon must a + TC sample be resampled - -Within 24 hours of the
positive result
-Where must repeat TC tests be sampled - -at the same tap, up and down
at most 5 service connections of the positive result
-What must a positive TC sample be checked for? - -The presence of FC or
EC
-Volume of a TC sample - -100 mL
-What must be done before pulling a distribution sample? - -Disinfect the

-What is the Population Equivalent? - -A means of expressing the amount of
organic material in wastewater. In a domestic wastewater system,
microorganisms use up about 0.2 pound (90 grams) of oxygen per day for
each person using the system (as measured by the standard BOD test). May
also be expressed as flow (100 gallons/person/day or 378 liters/person/day)
or suspended solids (0.2 lb SS/person/day or 90 grams SS/person/day).
-How do you calculate the population equivalent? - -May be expressed as
flow (100 gallons/person/day or 378 liters/person/day) or suspended solids
(0.2 lb SS/person/day or 90 grams SS/person/day). Use 2 variables to find the
missing variable.

-Define ampere - -A measure of current strength
-Define voltage - -the electrical pressure available to cause a flow of current
when an electric circuit is closed
-What is a Watt - -a unit of power
-What is an ohm - -a unit of electrical resistance
, -What are the characteristics of potable water? - -Does not contain
