Lead & Copper Rule: Potential Revisions & Steps Utilities Can Take to Prepare

The Lead and Copper Rule will be revised. In 2015 USEPA received a number of recommendations on how to improve the current rule from the National Drinking Water Advisory Committee.

In the wake of Flint, Michigan, state regulators are anxious about the adequacy of treatment for corrosion control.  The webinar will provide insights into what is changing in our understanding of lead in drinking water and corrosion control.  It will also cover questions that utilities are asking corrosion control experts and issues to be aware of as systems consider revising corrosion control.  Speakers will offer suggestions on preparing for likely changes.

Lead in drinking water is in the national regulatory and media spotlight.  Local utilities need to be actively addressing lead under the current rule while also preparing to respond quickly to new rule requirements.
