<p>A water supply and monitoring system comprising a first water pipe (301); a particle sensor for sensing particles in the water at a first location in said pipe; a second pipe (102), in fluid communication with the first pipe (301) by means of a first valve (302) disposed at a second location on the first pipe (301) downstream of the first location; a third pipe, (306) in fluid communication with the first pipe (301) at a location between the first and second locations; a second valve (304), allowing water conveyed by the first pipe to flow into the third pipe (306). A method using said arrangement, comprising determining a content of particles in the water within a particle size interval within the range of from 0.1 to 100 micrometers in the first pipe; triggering closure of the first valve (304) and opening of the second valve when the determined content of particles is higher than a predetermined level, whereby water flowing in the first pipe (301) is diverted from second pipe (102) into third pipe (306).</p> |
