Water quality evaluation is a global concern due to its effect on public health. Different
procedures can be implemented to evaluate specific standards of water quality. DNA
extraction to characterize the microbial community in the water distribution systems is
important. To optimize the DNA extraction process the effect of residual chlorine and
water composition was tested. The results exposed the limited effect of the samples
dechlorination. Total cell number effect can be varied according to water quality. Also,
the study indicated the possible inhibitory effect of the rust on the DNA extraction from
drinking water samples.
