Hospital Water Disruption Best Practices

The attached Guidelines for Developing Best Practices to Assist California Hospitals in Preparing for and Responding to a Water Disruption may be used for any hospital water disruption planning activities.

These guidelines were drafted under the CHA Hospital Preparedness Program with participation from a work group which was comprised of hospital representatives and state regulatory agencies.

The guidelines address:

  • Overview of a hospital water disruption
  • The hospital water supply planning team
  • Conducting a water use audit
  • Role of California Regulatory Agencies in a water disruption
  • Water disruption standards and regulations
  • Coordinating with the community response to a water disruption

The guidelines contain links to federal and state references and include six attachments which provide additional information and check lists to assist hospitals with water disruption planning and response.
