Addressing Concerns About Tastes and Odors and Cyanotoxins in Tap Wate - Water

Three utilities from Arizona participated this study sought: to quantitatively identify taste-and-odor (T&O) compounds other than 2-methylisoborneol (MIB) or geosmin; demonstrate how to develop in-house capabilities for analyzing algal biotoxins; investigate biological production of T&O compounds in the distribution system; and demonstrate how to establish a T&O water distribution system monitoring plan. Recommendations include the use of PAC addition, address seasonal T&O events, monitor production trends, maintain chlorine residuals and minimize stagnant water, monitor microcystin based on the dynamic nature of cyanobacteria blooms, and use GC/MS SPME for T&O analyses and ELISA for microcystin analyses.
