Full Description

The relationship between the level of regrowth of heterotrophic bacteria and the level of easily assimilable organic carbon (AOC) was determined by collecting and examining a series of distribution water samples from 20 supplies during two summer and autumn periods. The AOC concentration of distribution system water decreased with increasing distance from the treatment plant, but AOC uptake was limited at concentrations
