Ozone can be used for a variety of purposes in the treatment of drinking water. This article provides an overview of three interrelated ozone applications—disinfection by‐product control, organics removal, and disinfection—along with the key issues affecting each. In addition to summarizing the literature, the article describes the results of bench‐ and pilot‐scale studies performed by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. Research needs are identified.
