TL;DR: Although outbreaks of this size are rare, they highlight the need for increased awareness, particularly of parasites, correct water treatment regimens, and vigilant management and maintenance of the water supply and distribution systems.
The influence of disinfection processes on biofilm formation in water distribution systems
Vidar Lund,Kari Ormerod +1 more
TL;DR: A 20 months pilot plant study of microbial regrowth after the action on humic water of three oxidative disinfection processes (chlorination, u.v. irradiation and ozonation) is reported in this paper.

Evaluation of E. coli as an indicator for the presence of Campylobacter jejuni and Yersinia enterocolitica in chlorinated and untreated oligotrophic lake water
TL;DR: The results indicate that C. jejuni is more sensitive to chlorine than most other waterborne pathogens and E. coli, indicating that it may easily be controlled by present disinfection practices, and indicates an association between enhanced resistance to chlorine and the presence of a virulence plasmid.

Ultraviolet irradiated water containing humic substances inhibits bacterial metabolism
Vidar Lund,Dag Hongve +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an apparently inhibitory effect that persists in the water after the u.v. treatment has been studied in the laboratory, which may be explained by the action of oxidizing reagents such as hydroxyl radicals.

Volatile organic compounds in natural biofilm in polyethylene pipes supplied with lake water and treated water from the distribution network.
TL;DR: Investigation of volatile organic compounds in natural biofilm inside polyethylene (HDPE) pipelines at continuously flowing water found a whole range of volatile compounds were identified in the biofilm, including compounds frequently associated with cyanobacteria and algae.
