"Infection is the main, but not the only, problem associated with microorganisms in drinking water. For
instance, certain algae and bacteria can produce toxins that affect humans; the toxins may remain in the
water even when the organisms responsible have been removed. Other ‘nuisance organisms’ can cause
problems of taste, odour or colour, or promote deposition and corrosion."
