This slide presentation outlines a study on the importance of maintaining water quality in the distribution system during the next decade. Topics outlined include: distribution system regrowth of Mycobacterium, Legionella, and emerging pathogens; Cross Connection Control; Intrusion; Integrated approaches to optimize operations and reduce risks, optimized on-line monitoring and balancing competing risks; important research questions need to be addressed concerning development of simplified AOC methods, health risks associated with pressure transients, detection and control of leaks, and disinfectant residual effectiveness. Includes tables, figures.
