TABLE 5: Results of univariate linear regression models testing the effect of factors associated with log reductions in E. coli concentrations between the source and the point of use after 24 (±3) hours of storage. Results are presented collectively and stratified by chlorine treatment group. MPN = Most Probable Number; NTU = Nephelometric Turbidity Units.
