Abstract
The bacterial regrowth in the Tokyo metropolitan drinking water distribution system was studied. Mild regrowth was observed in the Tokyo metropolitan drinking water distribution system even when the residual chlorine was above 0.3 mg/L. The dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) concentration in samples fluctuated from 0 ppb to 18 ppb with majority of the values falling below 5 ppb. The DRP and some other forms of phosphorus were the controlling factor of bacterial growth in the distribution system.
