Description:
The goal of this project was to examine the effect of granular activated carbon (GAC) treatment on the microbiological characteristics of potable water in distribution systems. Data was collected from both field and pilot plant studies. Field monitoring studies from two water treatment plants indicate that treatment with GAC effects an increase in standard plant count (SPC) organisms. No other effect was observed. Post-chlorination negated the impact of the increase in SPC organisms.
