Abstract

Defines issues, determines the current state of knowledge, and identifies research gaps and needs with the increased and widespread use of "non-leaded" brass (or "enviro brass") meters and fixtures by the drinking water industry. Builds the framework for researching how these new non-leaded fixtures perform in the short- and long-term as well as what water quality impacts they may have on finished drinking water at the tap after installation.
