It’s no secret that water quality is negatively impacted by water age in distribution and building systems, and the negative impacts can ultimately affect public health.
In a recent virtual training session, Dr. William Rhoads, research scientist at Virginia Tech, explains how water age can be affected during stay-at-home orders and what we can do to ensure the safety of those using it.
“We are in a unique scenario where stay-at-home orders issued to prevent the spread of COVID has altered the way water is moving through our distribution and plumbing,” Rhoads says.
