When consuming drinking treated water, which of the following may be an indicator of water quality problems within a finished water storage facility?
  1. Poor taste
  2. Odor
  3. Water temperature
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer: D - When drinking treating water, the presence of a poor taste or unpleasant odor, or the awareness of an ambient water temperature may indicate that there is a water quality problem within a finished water storage facility. Stale water within a storage facility promotes the growth of microorganisms that cause poor tastes or unpleasant odors and is often a result of water stored too long. Stagnant water will approach ambient temperatures, and may be a result of short-circuiting or accumulated sediment that impedes mixing within a storage unit.
