Abstract

This project developed a guidance manual for public health investigators and epidemiologists about collecting and interpreting data from U.S. drinking water utilities and local and national databases. The project also studied microbial water quality from distribution system and premise plumbing samples near locations in the distribution system with a history of main breaks or pressure loss events.
