In the vast water supply network using traditional methods of treatment it is often impossible to maintain a constant and acceptable microbiological quality of water. In Poland the main reason of bacterial re-growth is presence of organic matter and nutrients in the circulating water and prolonged water retention in the network systems due to the decrease of water consumption, which has been observed for the last 20 years. In the paper the total number and biomass of bacteria were determined in three drinking water networks, one supplied by surface water and two by groundwater intakes. The studied supply systems are characterized by a low ratio of the contact area to volume of a transmitted water (S/V≈ 0.65).
