WaTER or "Water Treatment Estimation Routine" is a model for estimating the cost of drinking
water treatment. WaTER is the MS Excel program that is the basis for the Visual Basic program
called "WTCost". WaTER was developed by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) "Water
Treatment Engineering and Research Group". WaTER is updated on a semi continuous basis
(adding new treatment techniques, modifying costs, etc.). WaTER can be downloaded at:
http://www.usbr.gov/pmts/water/awtr.html
WaTER uses the 1979 USEPA water treatment cost estimates (1978 dollars) and the 1992
Quasim updates to the 1979 costs as the basis. Costs are updated to todays costs. Processes
not included in the 1979 or 1992 updates are estimated from USBR experience and
manufacturere estimates. The majoirty of the program is based on applicable flows between 1
and 200 MGD. There has been some recent work incorporating smaller flows of 2,500 gpd to 1
MGD.
Information on treatment techniques included in WaTER for all USEPA regulated contaminants
can be found in the USBR publication "Water Treatment Primer for Communities in Need"
WTcost is a Visual Basic version of this program (with some edits and additions) developed by
Irvine Moch. This program is for sale through Irvine Moch & Associates.

Comments
This model is updated on a continuous basis when funding and time permits. Work on this
model is not currently funded and has not been funded since FY04. Although this is labeled as
a "Non Functional Version" there are many components that work. The non functional status
comes from the fact that not everything has been fully checked and there are some components
that do not funciton or do not function correctly.
Major Notes
Capital costs are computed using the peak day flow and an operation time factor (OTF) to account for down time which increases the hourly
O&M costs are computed using the average daily flow which accounts for daily usage of chemicals, power, etc.
Design Notes
me which increases the hourly flow rate, but not the daily flow rate
