How often should routine maintenance of the water systems be conducted according to O+M practices?

Annually
Quarterly
Monthly
Every two years

The correct answer is: Quarterly

Routine maintenance of water systems is critical for ensuring their efficient operation and for prolonging their lifespan, while also complying with health and safety standards. According to O+M practices, conducting routine maintenance quarterly allows for more frequent oversight of the systems, enabling timely identification and resolution of potential issues such as leaks, corrosion, or biofilm buildup. This regular maintenance schedule helps maintain water quality, minimizes the risk of system failure, and ensures optimal performance. Conducting maintenance less frequently, such as annually or every two years, may lead to undetected problems that could escalate into more significant issues, requiring costly repairs or replacements. Monthly maintenance, while beneficial in some contexts, may be overly intensive and economically impractical for every facility, particularly if the systems are in good condition. Therefore, quarterly maintenance strikes an effective balance between thoroughness and resource management.
