A Brief History of Cork City’s Water Supply
1762 - Cork Pipe Water Company Established
Timber distribution pipes, 20ft long – 2 ½” to 3” ø
1856 - Cork Bridges, Waterworks and Improvement Act
1857 - Cast iron mains introduced – network extended.
1879 – Filter tunnel constructed
1911 - “intense waste water campaign” due to efforts of city engineer and
inspectors reduced consumption from 70 to 38 gal/p/d (172 l/p/d)
1928 – Sand filters installed
1940’s - new high level reservoir built as an unemployment relief scheme
1956 – New filters and sedimentation plant

Factors Influencing Microbial Change in Water Distribution Systems

Loss of Disinfection Residual
Quality Issues
31
Loss of Disinfection Residual
Quality Issues
All water entering distribution systems should be disinfected
Treated water should contain chlorine residual of 0.5mg/L for 30mins contact time prior to supply
Residual should be monitored before entering distribution
Maintain residual of at least 0.1 mg/L at the extremity of the network
EPA Guidance on Chlorination
32
Loss of Disinfection Residual
Quality Issues
Rate of Loss
Up to 50% lost during primary disinfection (first few hours)
Rate of loss thereafter reduces significantly and depends on:-
- Temperature - Reactivity of organic carbon in water- Reactivity of Pipe wall – “wall demand”
Half life after primary disinfection can vary from several days to several weeks but can reduce to several hours with high demand.
33
Loss of Disinfection Residual
Quality Issues
Use chloramines for secondary disinfection – longer lasting
Pipe flushing, relining or replacement to reduce “wall demand”
Reduce residence times in storage.
Install booster chlorination facilities
Reduce total level of organic carbon in treatment process.

35
Loss of Disinfection ResidualLoss of Disinfection Residual
Growth of Disinfection By-products
Quality Issues
• Reaction of chlorine with naturally occuring organic matter
• Most common by-products are Trihalomethanes (potential carcinogens)
• Amount of THM production depends on:-- pH
- Temperature- Chlorine dose- Amount of organic precursor- Reaction time
36
Prevention
Remove organic precursors during treatment
Change disinfectant (Chloramines)
Reduce water age in distribution system (quicker turnover)

Contributing Factors
Flow – Stagnant conditions promote tuberculation and pitting in iron pipes. Temp - Rate of corrosion increases with incresing temperature
pH - Lower pH promotes corrosion.
DO - Oxygen promotes corrsion of ferrous metal forming tubercules and “red water” TDS - Increases conductivity promoting electrochemicl corrosion
Bacteria - Bacteria in bioflim can create local changes in pH and DO.

Indicator - Langelier Saturation Index

Control
Make water less corrosive - pH adjustment most common (Typically 8.0
to 8.5).
Lay down protective lining on pipe wall - pH adjustment or
Phosphate addition
Replace pipe with pipe less prone to corrosion.
