Abstract

Key Takeaways: For years, geosmin was causing taste and odor (T&O) issues for the residents of Tulsa, Okla. With the application of algaecide at the pipe's intake, the median geosmin concentration was reduced by 83%. While utilities should focus on source water quality, the application of algaecide can help provide immediate relief for T&O issues related to geosmin. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
