Responses of drinking water bulk and biofilm microbiota to elevated water age in bench-scale simulated distribution systems

Abstract Reductions in nonresidential water demand during the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of understanding how water age impacts drinking water quality and microbiota in piped distribution systems. Using benchtop model distribution systems, we aimed to characterize the impacts of el...
