一、Drinking water pipeline status
①Pollution of pipe corrosion,scale to water quality
②Pollution of transudation in anticorrosive lining to water quality
③Pollution of microbial reproduction to water quality
④Pollution of residual chlorine disinfection by-product to water quality
⑤External pollution caused by omission of pipe network system
⑥The enforcement of regulations on the sanitation management and supervision of drinking water is insufficient,the mechanism is unreasonable,poor management etc cause water pollution
