Commenting on the Roundtable discussion in the August 1985 issue of the Journal AWWA, the author of this letter notes that one of the two plants in the United States is Strasburg, not Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. Commenting on the Theme Introduction in the same issue, the author remarks that most water systems use ozone as a preoxidant, and not a disinfectant. In addition, he states that the comment that “more than 90 percent now add small amounts of chlorine” may be interpreted to mean that the plants converted to chlorine after trying ozone instead of meaning that the plants used chlorine as a residual disinfectant. He also notes that the use of chlorine dioxide as a residual disinfectant is becoming a standard practice in some European countries.
