Climate change is expected to have many impacts on drinking
water supplies
• Stress on water supplies
• Increased frequency of forest fires
• Increased frequency of heavy rains
• Increased proliferation of algae & algal toxins

Algae presents the greatest source of T&O for surface water
Global Taste and Odor Survey of Water Utilities, AWWA 2012
![Page 7: Treatment Considerations for Surface Water T&O Issues · 2019-06-04 · Treatment Considerations for Surface Water T&O Issues Kim Ervin, P.E. West Region Drinking Water Solutions](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041922/5e6c8bccb74abe30fe4967bf/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Primary causes of taste and odor in surface water - geosmin and MIB
• Metabolic byproducts of algae
• Geosmin and MIB are most prevalent
• Produce earthy/musty odors not removed during conventional treatment
• Occurrence – seasonal (summer and fall)
• Odor threshold concentration (OTC) -2 to 10 ng/L
• For comparison hydrogen sulfide (H2S) odor threshold - 5,000 ng/L
![Page 8: Treatment Considerations for Surface Water T&O Issues · 2019-06-04 · Treatment Considerations for Surface Water T&O Issues Kim Ervin, P.E. West Region Drinking Water Solutions](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041922/5e6c8bccb74abe30fe4967bf/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Algal metabolites
• Taste & Odor: Geosmin and MIB are most
problematic for WTPs
• Can also release toxins
• Produced during growth, within algal cell
• Metabolites can be released from algal
cells
– Death
– Grazing by zooplankton
– Signaling in response to environmental
factors
– Cell rupture (lysis) during water treatment

Algae related issues in water treatment plants
• Clogging of intake screens
• Fouling weirs/disruption of settling
• Algal mats
• Filter clogging from algae or extracellular organic matter
• Increased coagulant demand
• Increased chlorine demand
• Increased disinfection by products (DBPs)
• pH fluctuations
• Tastes and odors
• Release of algal toxins from cell lysing

Traditional sensory & chemical evaluation techniques
• Threshold Number (TON)
– A threshold dilution test
• Flavor Profile Analysis (FPA)
– Panel of trained analysts evaluates T&O characteristics
– Standardized qualitative and quantitative T&O
characterization (Flavor Rating Scale, Flavor Rating
Assessment, Flavor Threshold Test)
• Gas Chromatography (GC)
• New techniques: attribute rating test, difference
method, 2-of-5 odor test.

Operational Changes
• Reservoir by-pass
• River bank filtration
Limiting Nutrients - Controlling Phosphorus – In Lake
Treatments
• Hypolimnion Aeration/Oxygenation – limits P release
from Sediment
• Ferric Coagulation – difficult to control in anoxic areas
• Alum – aluminum toxicity
• Lime – May effectively precipitate and control P, doesn’t
lyse cells
• Dredging of sediments – can be effective longer term
• Surface Aeration – mixed results
• Hypolimnion withdrawal – removes P from anoxic, no
chemicals, requires sufficient new flow input
• Lake Flushing – effective if sufficient flow of low P water
available
• Mixing – increases epilimnion, 80% of volume mixed,
high rate of mixing, deep lakes

Challenges with conventional coagulation and clarification
• Minimizing turbidity not sufficient to
remove algae and cyanobacteria.
• Mechanisms vary for cell removal.
Cyanobacteria will be the last
phytoplankton cells to be removed.
• High alum dose for anatoxin-a
• Little microcystin removal.
• Toxin release in some cases.

• Lake source
– Discontinued lake flushing and reduced intake flow
• Turbidity is typically low, < 0.5 NTU
• In-line filtration plant
– Reduced filter runs to 3.5 hours during algae bloom

• Most common approach for T&O
• Usually temporary or seasonal use
• Added with other coagulants prior to

• Can be very effective
• Expensive annual O&M compared to
other options
