Full Description

In routine pathogen monitoring, the West River Water Treatment Plant (WTP) in New Haven, Connecticut, raw water influent has historically exhibited the highest frequency of G/C detections. Because the West River WTP utilizes in-line filtration (rapid mix and filtration, no flocculation), pathogen surveillance is critical to ensure protection of public health. In order to understand the occurrence of pathogens in the West River watershed and their relationship to water quality and seasonal parameters, the Regional Water Authority has been conducting an extensive monitoring program since 1993. This paper presents the Authority's findings, providing an informative case study on the investigation of protozoan occurrence in a protected watershed.
