The maintenance of health and quality of drinking water is one of the major priorities in water supply systems. Formation of biofilm in water pipelines, tanks and domestic water purifiers is one of important concerns. Viruses, bacteria and protozoa could easily transport through water currents and among these, some certain bacteria have the ability of attachment to the surfaces and forming the biofilm. Formation and growth of the biofilm could negatively affect the water current, drinking quality and health. Biofilm forming bacteria secrets protecting compounds which protect them from damaging factors and through this process biofilm become resistant to degradation. Some of the biofilm creating bacteria are also have pathogenic capabilities even in humans, which is crucially important in maintenance of the health of drinking water. Due to the importance of knowing the biofilm forming societies in urban drinking water supply, the present paper will introduce the biofilm and its major bacterial agents.
