Review: Pressurized pipe networks provide a means of supplying drinking water to individual dwellings, buildings and communal taps. The microbial quality of water normally changes in a piped network. This review looks at the presence and growth of microorganisms in piped networks, and the practices of water supply organizations that can directly or indirectly influence their presence and growth. The information is based on experience with conventional underground systems and is intended for policymakers and those responsible for formulating water safety plans for the supply of drinking water as described by WHO Guidelines.
