The length of water distribution system is 6000 ft, the peak velocity is 8.33 fps, the water temperature
is 5 °C and pH is 7.5. If the free chlorine residual in the water distribution system is 0.5 mg/L, what is
the log inactivation of viruses? (See the table on page 3).

"Cr values for free chlorine, ozone, and chlorine dioxide include safety (uncertainty) factors. The chloramine values are based on laboratory data using preformed
chloramine to inactivate hepatitis A and do not include a safety factor.
