Abstract
Coliphages were monitored in conjunction with indicator bacteria and enteric viruses in a drinking water plant modified to reduce trihalomethane (THM) production. Coliphages could be detected in the source water by direct innoculation and sufficient coliphages were detected in enteric virus concentrates to permit following coliphage levels through different water treatment processes. Recovery efficiency by different filter types ranged from 1% to 53%. Coliphages, detected on E. coli A-19, and enteric viruses were removed at similar rates by the different treatment processes. Coliphages were not detected in finished water.
