This article discusses operating an ultraviolet (UV) reactor within the validated conditions of the Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2ESWTR) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) criteria for calibration of UV sensors and UV transmittance analyzers. Monitoring parameters are presented, along with monitoring frequencies and reporting requirements. The article stresses the difference between activities that are required and those that are recommended.
