THE DISINFECTION OF DRINKING WATER

The purpose of complete surface disinfection of public water supplies is the elimination of the pathogens that are liable for waterborne diseases. The transmission of diseases such as shigellosis, paratyphoid fevers, typhoid, salmonellosis, cholera, can be controlled with treatments that substantially decrease the total number of possible microorganisms in the water.

While the attention of organisms in drinking water after productive disinfection may be exceedingly small, sterilization (i.e., killing all the microbes present) is not attempted. Sterilization is not only unusable, it cannot be preserved in the distribution system.

For disinfecting water supplies in the United States, chlorination is the most widely used method. The near universal adoption of this method can be qualified to its highly satisfactory performance and its continence as a complete surface disinfection, which has been set up by decades of use. It has been so successful that freedom from infectious of waterborne diseases is now practically taken for granted. As stated in Health and Drinking Water (National Academy of Sciences, 1977), "chlorination is the standard of complete surface disinfection against which others are compared."
