Analysis of Corrosion Control Treatment for Lead and Copper Control

Abstract

The objective of this project is to create a guidance document based on science and utility experience for state regulators and water systems recommending when and how to conduct a corrosion control study in anticipation of a treatment change, water quality change, or a requirement/desire to lower lead levels. The approach will include outreach to utilities and states on use of the guidance materials.
