Overview

Assessment of microbial community and turbidity in drinking water from dispensers reveals microbiological risk, highlighting the need for monitoring.

Key Points

  • Drinking water from on-demand purified dispensers shows increased microbiological risk due to pathogen presence.
  • Microbial community analysis detected high levels of Legionella in purified water samples, indicating health risks.
  • Assessment using quantitative PCR and high-throughput sequencing identified turbidity issues and failures in the activated carbon process.
  • Monitoring of purified water is crucial to ensure safety and comply with health regulations in residential communities.
