This month's question concerns the shelf life of water and the importance of proper maintenance of a water system. Shelf life can be shortened by the frequent exchange of water in the distribution system and storage facilities. Some studies suggest a shelf life of three, five, or seven days, depending on water quality parameters such as temperature, pH, disinfection residual, and detention time or water exchange time.
