This article discusses an aeration process for reducing the trihalomethanes in a distribution system. This method was developed by the Solano Irrigation District of Suisun City, California in order to comply with disinfectant/disinfection byproducts regulations. Key to developing this aeration strategy was identifying areas where long water residence times occur.
