- W2106905627 abstract "A comparative study relating to distributed water quality was undertaken in 10 small municipal drinking water utilities in Quebec. All of these utilities apply direct chlorination to surface water or groundwater under the direct influence of surface water without any previous treatment. These utilities were divided into two groups: four utilities that had never or rarely served water violating the provincial drinking water microbiological standards (relating to fecal and (or) total coliform bacteria) and six utilities that very often infringed upon said standards. The objective of this study was to identify key parameters responsible for the differences between the two groups of utilities, to explore the capacity of studied utilities to simultaneously and effectively handle the acute disease risk associated with microorganisms and the chronic health hazard linked to chlorination by-products and to identify the parameters upon which it may be possible to act to achieve better water quality in each of the two utility groups. The study includes comparisons of characteristics of water quality at the source, chlorination conditions in the plant, and water quality from the entrance to the extremity of the distribution system. Results show that the differences between the two groups of utilities are associated essentially with maintained chlorine residuals and heterotrophic plate count bacteria populations in corresponding distribution systems and, to a lesser extent, to the applied chlorine doses. Subsequent multivariate analyses allowed identification of variables (i.e., factors) upon which utility managers may act to improve the quality of distributed water in each group of utilities. For the group of utilities that had very little or no violation, these factors are related to disinfection levels, whereas for the group that often violated quality standards, raw water natural organic matter content reduction through source water protection and raised chlorine doses and residuals appear to be the factors that may lead to better microbiological quality of distributed water. Key words: drinking water, water quality, distribution systems, small utilities, Quebec." @default.
