Abstract
Spores of aerobic spore-forming bacteria were used as microbial surrog ates for evaluating drinking water treatment plant performance. A meth od for assaying for the microbial surrogate was developed. Various wat er sources were surveyed, and data were collected from coagulation and chlorine inactivation studies. Evaluations for spore removals and tur bidity and particle removals were compared for pilot-scale and full-sc ale water treatment plants.
