Water Company Outreach

i) Organizations such as United Water Rahway, Middlesex Water Company, and Graver Water Systems utilize information on dissolved oxygen and the pH and temperature of water to ensure that water is fit for human consumption.  They also work to guarantee that wastewater, water mixed with waste matter, is properly disposed of so that it does not harm humans or the environment upon disposal. Their protocol largely depends on whether or not the levels of dissolved oxygen in the water they use are acceptable. If the levels are too high that could indicate the presence of an organism living in the water that may potentially cause harm to humans.
