Ron Perrin – new profile at www.ronperrin.info
I have a new profile at BrandYourself.com. This may not be exactly water related but it should help this page show up higher in search results. So, if you are looking for the RON PERRIN of “Ron Perrin Water Technologies” I am the guy. If this helps people connect with my water tank and tower inspection and cleaning services I am sure it is worth a few lines on this blog. Ron Perrin may not be as common as John Smith but there are several around the world. I originally named my company “Ron Perrin Water Technologies” to let water utility managers know I was no longer with “U.S. Underwater Services”. What I did not know was that advertising my name would bump me into so many people around the world also named Ron Perrin.
ronperrin.us
Is also “The Clean Water Tank Drinking Water Project” blog. This is basically my passion project. After getting involved in using divers to perform water storage tank inspection and cleaning I soon found storage tanks are an overlooked and underserved part of our water systems. Sediment gathers in the bottom of tanks and towers. Over time a few inches can support a wide variety of bacteria, protozoa like cryptosporidium and even viruses. This blog was set up to be an educational tool allowing water utility managers and the public they serve to understand the importance of water tank and tower inspection and cleaning programs.

EPA may have new regulations on Potable Water Storage
The EPA is currently considering a regulation that would require all water storage facilities to be inspected and cleaned at regular intervals. This new requirement could improve the water quality for millions of Americans.

Naegleria fowleri Alive and well in another Louisiana water system.
Shreveport Times reports that positive results for Naegleria fowleri were found in Ebarb, Louisiana. The positive results were in the system’s lines in the Aimwell area, which serves 5,529 people. Reported by
Vickie Welborn, September 12, 2014.
EBARB – The Ebarb Water System has tested positive for the brain-eating amoeba, according to state health officials. The Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals said the infected water was sampled in August as part of its surveillance program. DHH learned the Ebarb system was not in compliance with the state’s emergency rule, which requires water systems to maintain a minimum disinfectant residual level of 0.5 milligrams per liter throughout all of their distribution lines. That level is known to control Naegleria fowleri.
The positive results were in the system’s lines in the Aimwell area, which serves 5,529 people. There have been no reports of illnesses in Sabine Parish as a result of…

Now we can add a brain-eating amoeba to the list of contaminants that can be in tank sediment
Removing sediment from the floor of your water tanks and towers may also be removing the habitat that allows bacteria, protozoa and viruses from getting a foothold in your distribution system. Now we can add a brain-eating amoeba to the list of contaminants that the sediment on the floor of your water storage tank can support.
Number of Case-reports of Primary Amebic Meningoencephalitis Caused by Naegleria fowler
September 16, 2013, NBC News reported: “Deadly brain amoeba infects US tap water for the first time”. The death of a 4-year-old boy near Violet, LA., was linked to the Naegleria fowleri amoeba. The child had been playing on a backyard slip-n-slide that used water from the St. Bernard Parish water system, that was later found to be contaminated with the amoeba. “Tests show it’s present throughout the water supply system in St. Bernard Parish, directly southeast of New Orleans.”
According to the CDC: “Naegleria fowleri (commonly referred to as the “brain-eating amoeba” or “brain-eating ameba”), is a free-living microscopic ameba, (single-cehttp://www.cdc.gov/parasites/images/naegleria/naegleria-cases-by-state-logo.jpglled living organism). It can cause a rare and devastating infection of the brain called primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM). The ameba is commonly found in warm freshwater (e.g. lakes, rivers, and hot springs) and soil. Naegleria fowleri usually infects people when contaminated water enters the body through the nose. Once the ameba enters the nose, it travels to the brain where it causes PAM, which is usually fatal. Infection typically occurs when people go swimming or diving in warm freshwater places, like lakes and rivers. In very rare instances,Naegleria infections may also occur when contaminated water from other sources (such as inadequately chlorinated swimming pool water or heated and contaminated tap water) enters the nose. You cannot get infected from drinking water contaminated with Naegleria.”
The CDC also tested nearby DeSoto Parish Waterworks Dist. #1 because it was the near the site of an infection that happened in 2011 from non-potable water (lake or river, etc.). On October 8, 2013, The CDC confirmed the presence of the rare amoeba in five locations in DeSoto Parish Waterworks Dist. #1.
Heat is also a factor, an increase in only ten degrees can double the speed of bacteria growth. As record high temperatures become more common in summer months we see that keeping water distribution tanks free of sediment build up may be more important than ever before. Removing the sediment from your water tank may prevent a disaster before it can ever start.
