MIL-HDBK-1164
Section 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1
Scope of Handbook. MIL-HDBK-1164 provides general technical
guidance for operating and maintaining potable water systems at fixed military
installations. Since no two installations are exactly alike, this handbook is
supplemental to site-specific operations and maintenance (O&M) manuals provided for
each installation. The handbook applies to all personnel responsible for operating and
maintaining fixed-base water systems, including supervisors as well as operators. To
provide military personnel with the most up-to-date information available the handbook
guides the reader to industry standards, manuals of practice, training guides,
handbooks, and miscellaneous documents published by the American Water Works
Association (AWWA) and other authorities in the water supply and treatment field. This
manual is not intended to be read in its entirety. Rather, the reader is expected to refer
to individual parts as the need arises.
1.2
Organization of Handbook. It is suggested that the reader become
familiar with the organization, content, and intended use of this handbook by first
looking at the Table of Contents. Next, the reader may page through the manual to get
an overall idea of the organization. For most topics, the reader will be guided to
published references for detailed information. References provided for each topic will
generally be listed in order of increasing technical complexity. The handbook does
contain tables, charts, and at-a-glance checklists for quick how-to reference by
operators and maintenance personnel.
