The number of water vendors has increased rapidly in Taiwan recently. Even though the municipal water is good enough, the people always worry that the water quality might change from the building inlet point to the faucet outlet in a building. The primary purpose of this research is to verify this general impression and determined the actual water quality problems. This research project randomly chose 113 families using tap water in Taipei City. We selected six physical water quality indexes including pH value, residual chlorine, turbidity readings, watercolor, total density of solid and conductance for inspection and analysis. As a result, we have seen that water quality changes from the storage tank inlet point to the kitchen faucet outlet point in a building. Although the large majority of cases examined are within or near to quality measures, a few cases are still over the criteria for drinking water. People have a reason to worry about drinking tap water in buildings. Therefore, to offer a drinking water supply system additionally is a practical alternative to the present policy, and that would be better than to improve the water quality in existed water supply system. |
