A water quality monitoring computer system for a water distribution network includes a water distribution network configured to receive water from one or more network sources and distribute the water through the water distribution network to one or more network end points, at least one water quality monitor configured to generate water quality data for a distribution zone of the water quality network that includes a zone water source and one or more zone endpoints, which includes network end points downstream from the zone source, and a zone end point meter associated with each of the zone end points, wherein the zone end point meter monitors water flow exiting the distribution zone. At least two of the end point water meters include one or more water quality sensors and at least two of the end point water meters include different water quality sensor types, and the one water quality monitor aggregates water quality sensor data transmitted from the zone end point water meters to generate the distribution zone water quality data.

Provided are methods for determining the amount of estrone in a sample using mass spectrometry. The methods generally involve ionizing estrone in a sample and detecting and quantifying the amount of the ion to determine the amount of estrone in the sample.

Provided are methods of detecting the presence or amount of a vitamin D metabolite in a sample using mass spectrometry. The methods generally directed to ionizing a vitamin D metabolite in a sample and detecting the amount of the ion to determine the presence or amount of the vitamin D metabolite in the sample. Also provided are methods to detect the presence or amount of two or more vitamin D metabolites in a single assay.
