1 Flow cytometry in drinking water research: case-study Amsterdam Marius Vital, Marco Dignum, Aleksandra Magic, Petra Ross, Luuk Rietveld and Frederik Hammes

2 Overview Waternet s philosophy behind safe drinking water Description of treatment steps Results from Techneau case-study Amsterdam 2009 Future research interests marco.dignum@waternet.nl 2

3 First watercycle company in The Netherlands Waternet takes care of the water cycle in Amsterdam and surroundings, including: Dikes and flood protection Management of surface and ground water Sewage system and waste water treatment Production and distribution of drinking water 3

5 Philosophy behind safe drinking water The 5 rules of Peter Huck University of Waterloo): 1. Protect the source 2. Good treatment 3. Good distribution 4. Monitor the quality 5. Ready for direct action + Try out new possibilities in a pilot plant marco.dignum@waternet.nl 5

22 Conclusions Flow cytometry and ATP are fast and easy, cultivationindependent methods for overall biomass estimation These methods correlate well and show the same pattern for both treatment plants In some cases, the methods are complementary Only a small fraction of bacteria can be cultivated; plate counts show inconsistent patterns Overall, production of hygienically safe and biologically stable drinking water without chlorine residual is possible A very specific population Aeromonas- shows instability marco.dignum@waternet.nl 22

23 Operational issues Aeromonas control (BTO) Rapid detection of Enterobacteria (Waterlab Noord) Biofilm prevention in PE pipes Breakthrough of slow sand filtration Influence of temperature on biological stability and emerging pathogens (BTO) 23

24 Future research interests Foodchain in an oligotrophic environment: what is biological stability? Understanding and preventing Legionella growth (BTO) Does microbial corrosion play a role in pipe ageing? Relationship between particle sedimentation and bacterial growth Role of protozoa as vector for pathogenic bacteria? marco.dignum@waternet.nl 24
