Abstract
Determines the range of particles in filtered effluent as a benchmark for water utilities to use in evaluating treatment performance. Presents particle-count data from a 100-plant sampling program in which on-line particle measurements were collected from a number of treatment plants. Provides utilities with particle count information to which they can compare their individual performance. Printed in 1998.
