Example Coding Scheme for Water Outlets

A drinking water bubbler (DW) on the 2nd floor (02) of the middle school (MID), the 15th outlet counted, might be coded as follows.

MID- 02- DW-015
DW= drinking water bubbler
WC = water cooler (chiller unit)
CF = classroom faucet
KC = kitchen faucet, cold
KH = kitchen faucet, hot
EC = home economics room, cold
EH = home economics room sink, hot
BF = bathroom faucet
NS = nurse's office sink
SC = service connector

In addition to the unique outlet code, a unique sample identifier is necessary if more than one sample will be taken from an outlet. A flush sample would also require a unique identifier.

The first draw (P) and flush (F) samples taken for the above outlet would be MID- 02- DW-015-P-01 and MID- 02- DW-015-F-01

P = primary (first draw) sample
F = flush

01 = first sample
02 = second sample
