AB  - A Modified Robbins Device (MRD) was installed in a full-scale water distribution 
      system to investigate biofouling and metal depositions on concrete, high-density 
      polyethylene (HDPE) and stainless steel surfaces. Bulk water monitoring and a 
      KIWA monitor (with glass media) were used to offline monitor biofilm development 
      on pipe wall surfaces. Results indicated that adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and 
      metal concentrations on coupons increased with time. However, bacterial 
      diversities decreased. There was a positive correlation between increase of ATP 
      and metal deposition on pipe surfaces of stainless steel and HDPE and no 
      correlation was observed on concrete and glass surfaces. The shared bacterial 
      diversity between bulk water and MRD was less than 20% and the diversity shared 
      between the MRD and KIWA monitor was only 10%. The bacterial diversity on biofilm 
      of plumbing material of MRD however, did not show a significant difference 
      suggesting a lack of influence from plumbing material during early stage of 
      biofilm development.
