This paper reviews the results of an extensive field study conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the North Penn Water Authority, which resulted in the development of a series of models that can be used to study contaminant propagation in distribution systems. An example is presented in which the model developed by the U.S. EPA was applied to explore the movement of a waterborne contaminant found in the Cabool, Missouri, distribution system. Finally, an extension of this work to a large drinking water utility, will be discussed and the progress to-date presented.
