Coliform Regrowth in Drinking Water: A Review
Abstract
With monitoring changes required by the US Environmental Protection Agency's 1989 coliform rule, the problems associated with coliform regrowth in finished drinking water are increasing. This article reviews the types of regrowth phenomena and the analytical evidence for regrowth in distribution system pipelines. It also considers factors that influence bacterial regrowth, including environmental factors, bacterial nutrients, disinfectant residuals, corrosion and sediment accumulation, and hydraulic effects. Methods for controlling bacterial regrowth, including effective treatment and monitoring, flushing and mechanical cleaning, disinfection, corrosion control, and nutrient control, are examined, and the advantages of—and concerns about—using biological treatment are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
