Abstract

Bacteria and other disease-causing organisms in drinking water can cause intestinal infections, dysentery and a variety of other illnesses. Water disinfection reduces disease-causing organisms and prevents the transmission of disease. This 2007 NebGuide discusses the disinfection process used by the Omaha Metropolitan Utilities District and Lincoln Water System.
