It Is appropriate to increase or decrease sampling based on the trend performance. The time and date will be determined according to the activity. The (specify year) microbiological water testing report, "Water Systems Bioburden and Bacterial Endotoxin Summary Report for Year (specify)," is also included in (provide reference attachment number).

STUDY OF BIOFILM FORMATION ON DIFFERENT PIPE MATERIALS IN A MODEL OF DRINKING WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AND ITS IMPACT ON MICROBIOLOGICAL WATER QUALITY... 

Abstract. The biofilm formation in drinking water distribution systems depends on many factors and may cause a number of technological and hygienic problems. In this study, the influence of pipe material and flow velocity on the biofilm growth dynamics and its impact on microbiological water quality in a model of drinking water distribution system were assessed.

Testing the potential of pipe materials to promote biofilm growth is needed because it may affect the taste, odor or turbidity of drinking water and may cause non compliance with microbiological water quality parameters and a risk to consumers health. Because EU Drinking Water Directive (98/83/EC) controls the water quality at the consumers tap instead of the point of supply, it is important to be assessed if the pipe material in drinking water supply systems release substances that may enhance or inhibit attached microbial growth. 

The goal of this study was to assess if the studied materials have influence on biofilm formation and impact of biofilm on microbiological water quality. 

The data at Table 1. demonstrate that the biofilms formed on the studied materials can deteriorate microbiological water quality. It was determined that the microbial contamination of water depends on the bacterial density of the biofilms. 

Tn the scientific and engineering community, concern for protection of aquatic environments from chemical pollution is shared by individuals from diverse disciplines. An area of overlapping interests is the study of particulates in water, their characterization, their interaction with the solution phase, and their control. Because many chemical and microbiological water contaminants are associated with colloidal or suspended particulate matter, a symposium on this subject seemed timely to provide a forum for various specialists to exchange ideas, methods, and models used to investigate the fate and effects of particulates and their associated materials in various aqueous environments. 

Direct methods of counting germs are very time-consuming and inexact and are therefore as a rule not employed in microbiological water analyses.

This is an issue which is yet to be properly analyzed. It could lead to a resurgence in bacteria levels, and it is important that it is not the opportunistic photogenic bacteria which lead that resurgence. In such a transient phase, water quality will also be unstable, and it would be inadvisable to utifize this water for the larvae. Ozone may also have effect on ions in the water making them unstable. Microbiological stabilization, microbiological water maturation or water ripening may therefore be a suitable water treatment for disinfected water or raw water, to help control the bacterial... 

Microbiological contamination, mainly due to fecal contamination, is the main cause of illness or infection associated with swimming pool water. Acceptable microbiological water quality is maintained, in particular, by good hygiene practices, efficient filtration, and disinfection. An exhaustive analysis of risks and preventive measures in recreational water environments is provided in Ref. [1].
