Extensive effort has been expended by utilities, consultants, and scientists tobetter understand factors causing outbreaks of blue water, a rare problem that occurs in relatively high pH drinking water. This work synthesizes information about initiation factors, remedial measures, and theories. Although chlorine is an effective remedial measure, little is known for certain about factors that initiate or propagate blue water. Includes 31 references, tables, figures.
