A method of monitoring fluid quality is described. At least one of raw
fluid quality data and processed fluid quality data is communicated from
one or more portable sensor units configured for wireless communication
to one or more wireless transceivers, the raw fluid quality data and
processed fluid quality data having been generated based upon
measurements made using the portable sensor unit(s) at different
locations corresponding to different points of fluid delivery. The
locations are controlled by separate entities. At least one of the raw
fluid quality data and the processed fluid quality data is communicated
from the wireless transceiver(s) to a data collection system. At least
one of the raw fluid quality data, the processed fluid quality data, and
fluid quality measures derived therefrom is communicated to additional
entities other than the separate entities.
