Abstract
Distribution system prompts questions Consider the resources being expended to develop, evaluate, and implement advanced water treatment technologies such as membranes, ozone, granular activated carbon, and ultraviolet disinfection. Although these technologies will result in higherquality drinking water, you have to wonder what will happen to this water as it travels through a system designed, perhaps decades ago, mainly to store water for fire protection and to meet peak demand. Will this high-quality water develop objectionable tastes, colors, and odors; lose its disinfectant residualsupport microbiological growth; transport sediments to the consumer's tap; or be corrosive to lead and copper? Most important, will consumers notice any difference at the tap?
