Water samples were collected from nine public water systems treating water obtained from the Sacramento River system. Trihalomethanes were present in all raw waters, with concentrations in some ranging as high as 25 ug/L. As expected, THM levels were higher in finished waters. Considerably more THMs were formed in Sacramento River delta supplies, irrespective of the degree of seawater intrusion. The primary effect of seawater intrusion was to increase bromination of THMs. THM formation in the river system as a whole did not correlate with either COS or TOC levels. THM formation in treated Contra Costa Canal water correlated well with the Delta Outflow Index. Includes 9 references, figures.
