Abstract

When drinking water is distributed through pipelines, biofilms will grow on the inner surface of the pipes and soft deposits (organic and inorganic matter) and several metals will accumulate to the pipelines (Lehtola & al, 2004a). Discoloration of drinking water is one of the main reasons customers complain to their water company. An elevated concentration of iron or increased turbidity, affect taste, odor and color in drinking water. Unlined iron pipes in drinking water distribution networks develop extensive internal corrosion scales as the time of use increases. These corrosion scale deposits reduce the hydraulic capacity of the pipes and more energy is required to deliver water at a desire flow rate (Sarin et al., 2004).
