Synthesized answer (unofficial)

UFC 3-230-03 is the Unified Facilities Criteria document titled Water Treatment, current as of 1 November 2012 with Change 2 effective 1 May 2020 [UFC 3-230-03 cover page].

This tri-service document consolidates civil engineering criteria for water treatment applicable to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, and Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency, and supersedes UFC 3-230-08A and UFC 3-230-12A [UFC 3-230-03 Revision Summary]. It addresses water system sources, flows, and design capacity requirements [UFC 3-230-03 Chapter 3], and is referenced in Air Force and DoD policy as the governing standard for water treatment facility design, operation, and maintenance [DAFMAN 32-1067 para 4.2.1; DoDM 4715.05 Section 4].
