Impact of Pipe Material and Temperature on Drinking Water Microbiome and Prevalence of <i>Legionella</i>, <i>Mycobacterium</i>, and <i>Pseudomonas</i> Species

In drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs), pipe material and water temperature are some of the critical factors affecting the microbial flora of water. Six model DWDSs consisting of three pipe materials (galvanized steel, copper, and PEX) were constructed. The temperature in three systems was m...
