WATER DISTRIBUTION PRACTICE TEST D1
D2 FINAL PAPER PRACTICE SOLUTION
TESTED QUESTIONS WITH FULL ANSWERS

●● True or False: A cross-connection is usually defined as a connection
between a potable water system and a non-potable water system.
Answer: True


●● True or False: An air gap separation provides the highest degree of
protection from backflow and back-siphonage.
Answer: True


●● True or False: Disinfection is the same as sterilization
Answer: False, Disinfection inactivates the bacteria not allowing it to
reproduce where sterilization complete kills the bacteria.


●● True or False: A residual of free chlorine of 0.2 mg/l should be
present at all points within a water system
Answer: True


●● True or False: Compared to gas chlorine or laundry bleach, 65%
HTH chlorine is better suited for water distribution due to its special
formulation.

,Answer: False


●● True or False: Hypochlorite is much more hazardous than gaseous
chlorine.
Answer: False


●● True or False: The presence of a free chlorine should be present at all
points within a distribution system, at all times.
Answer: True


●● True or False: Sodium hypochlorite (a chlorine compound) is usually
supplied in dry form, as a powder or as a pellet.
Answer: False, as a dilute aqueous solution


●● True or False: When chlorine reacts with moisture, it forms two acids

●● True or False: In water distribution operations, dosage is defined as
the weight of a given chemical applied to a specific volume of water.
Answer: True


●● True or False: Coliforms are used to measure the bacteriological
quality of drinking (potable) water because the test indicates fecal
contamination where specific disease-producing organisms are not easily
isolated and identified.
Answer: True


●● True or False: All Coliforms are pathogenic
Answer: False, coliforms is a living organism that is used to detect other
pathogens living in the water.


●● True or False: A Blue color after 24 hours is an indication of fecal
coliform in the Colilert Test.
Answer: False, Yellow/fluorescent wells


●● True or False: A white cloud will form in the presence of ammonia if
leaking chlorine is detected

, Answer: True


●● True or False: The basic safety rule to follow prior to opening any
chemical container or using any chemical in water distribution is to read
the label
Answer: True


●● True or False: The leading cause of fatalities in confined spaces is
being struck by falling objects.
Answer: False, asphyxiation, oxygen deficiency, or from exposure to
toxic atmospheres.


●● True or False: The term "Lock-Out" means to block the flow of
energy to equipment and keep it blocked by placing a lock to prevent

Answer: True


●● True or False: The term "Tag-Out" means to place a tag on the power
source to identify yourself and the purpose of the Lock-Out, and to warn
