| Abstract | Reliable and safe drinking water supplies are important to public health. Water utilities that use chlorine to kill harmful microbes must decide how much chlorine to add and how long it must stay in their systems. Pipe corrosion and microbial biofilms on pipe walls reduce chlorine levels, which can compromise water quality. Biofilms weaken the effects of chlorine, which may enable microorganisms and pathogens to survive. In addition, corrosion can release harmful metals such as lead and copper. |
