What is a chlorine retention test?
(OP)
Hi All,
A new water main is being put into a subdivision and a chlorine retention test will be performed apparently. I cannot seem to find a good idea of what this test is all about. Can someone point me in the right direction so I can understand what will be performed?
Thanks in advance!

It seems the concern is that the chlorine level will decrease over time. Why would the chlorine level decrease over time?
Corrosion of the water main? (in my case its copper)

Adequate disinfection is actually confirmed when two water samples taken twenty four apart indicate no bacterial contamination.

I did some further research based on your comments and it all seems to make sense now.
Thanks again!
