Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Self-contained water reservoirs are the most effective method of reducing bacterial contamination in waterlines as they eliminate the need for connecting to a centralized water source, which can become contaminated. Yearly replacement of all water lines can be costly and not necessary if proper maintenance and cleaning are performed. Back-flushing with a bleach solution can be effective but may not completely eliminate all bacteria and can be time-consuming. Using waterlines of smaller diameter may not eliminate bacterial contamination and may reduce water flow, leading to other issues.
