RON GEORGE DESIGN & CONSULTING SERVICES

In the last 3 decades, we have been in a water and energy conservation mode. Water flows have been reduced to levels that are less than 20 percent of flows prior to 1992. The flow velocity in water mains has been reduced to the point where water treatment chemical residuals often dissipate to levels that will not control bacterial growth in the water mains near the ends of larger water distribution systems. The lack of chlorine residuals at the end of distributions systems has caused some water utilities to switch to other water treatment chemicals. When conditions are right, chlorine can dissipate to levels that will not control Legionella bacteria growth in about 5 days.
