Full Description

This study reports on the occurrence of enteric viruses within a full-scale 205 mgd (776 ML/d) water treatment plant following each treatment process, including prechlorination-flocculation, sand filtration, and chlorination. Reduction of enteroviruses and rotaviruses averaged 81 and 93 percent, respectively, for the complete process. The highest removal of enteroviruses occurred during prechlorination-clarification and filtration, and the highest reduction in rotaviruses occurred after prechlorination-clarification and postchlorination of the finished water. Enteroviruses or rotaviruses could be isolated from 24 percent of the finished water samples containing
