Abstract
This article discusses a program at the city of Raleigh, North Carolina, to monitor disinfection byproduct (DBP) levels, chloramine residuals, and total coliform that helped the utility analyze conservation's long‐term influence and ensure water quality. Water age in a distribution system relates to water demand. Water resides in a distribution system longer during periods of conservation because less water flushes the system. Longer retention times and higher temperatures promote DBP formation, chloramine residual decay, and coliform growth. More lead and copper in plumbing material may also leach into a distribution system under such conditions.
