Water professionals know that water quality in the distribution system can be compromised by any number of variables. This month's articles address several of these parameters, including specific behaviors of large‐diameter pipes, water flow through pipes, system effects of the types and locations of storage facilities, main repairs, and cross‐connections and other types of contamination. In addition, the potential cost associated with a distribution system rule, being considered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), is also examined.
