| 1. A method for continuous on-site monitoring and treatment of water comprising the following:
directing water flow from a water source to and through a portable monitoring and treatment station;
measuring a parameter of the water flowing through the station;
comparing the measured parameter with a predetermined approved level for said parameter;
directing the water flow along a first fluid flow pathway back to the water source or to an alternate location in the event
that the measured parameter fails to meet the predetermined level for said parameter;
directing the water flow along a second fluid flow pathway in the event that the measured parameter meets the predetermined
level for said parameter;
filtering the water flowing through said second fluid flow pathway;
measuring said parameter of the filtered water flowing in said second fluid flow pathway;
comparing the measured parameter of the filtered water flowing in said second fluid flow pathway with a predetermined approved
standard for said parameter;
directing the filtered water from said second fluid flow pathway for further processing in the event the measured parameter
of the filtered water flowing in the second fluid flow pathway fails to meet the predetermined approved standard for said
parameter; and
directing the filtered water in said second fluid flow pathway to a clean water collection or distribution site in the event
the measured parameter of the filtered water flowing in said second fluid flow pathway meets the predetermined approved standard
for said parameter.
