Original Abstract

The paper deals with the assessment of the influence of fine sediments on the re-growth and occurrence of bacteria in drinking water, especially in the end sections of the water supply network. The presence of sediments in the water supply network is undesirable as it has a negative effect on both the quality of the water transported and may cause operational problems, particularly turbidity. There was a monitoring of selected end sections was carried out on the municipal water supply network in the Czech Republic. Within two months, samples were taken for the microbiological analysis. Thereafter, a controlled flushing of the entire water supply network was carried out. Sediments released by the controlled flushing were expressed by the turbidity value and microbiological indices. After the controlled flushing, the dependence of re-growth and bacterial occurrence on the achieved turbidity peak during the controlled flushing of the section was examined.
