Reduction of Pathogens, Indicator Bacteria, and Alternative Indicators by Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation Processes

In wastewater reclamation systems, microbiological monitoring is conducted to compare the effectiveness of biological treatment, filtration, and disinfection for removal of bacterial and viral indicators, enteric viruses, and protozoan pathogens. This project has six full-scale treatment facilities, sampled a minimum of four times over a year.
