Presently,15 to 22 million Americans are served drinking water from lead lines. While most utilities employ effective corrosion control that limits the release of lead, the safest way to assure no lead release is to remove the source of lead. Given recent attention from the public health community related to the potential impacts from lead in drinking water, it is understandable that USEPA is promoting Lead Service Line Replacements (LSLRs) in the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR and proposed LCRI).
This webcast discussed WRF project 5223, Guidance for Complying with the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions for Water Systems with No- to Low Prevalence of Lead Service Lines (LSL, LSLs). The project's objectives are to develop guidance for utilities with limited lead lines that require replacement to comply with the requirements of the LCRR/LCRI pertaining to creating their lead service line inventories. The project team will also compile and evaluate data and methods to better understand the source of lead in galvanized pipes and extent of lead release from galvanized materials and from galvanized materials requiring the replacement (GRR).
