Drinking water quality should remain constant from the drinking water treatment plant to the
consumer's tap. However, water quality characteristics might be affected by interactions with …

In April 2014, the drinking water source in Flint, Michigan was switched from Lake Huron
water with phosphate inhibitors to Flint River water without corrosion inhibitors. The absence …

Increased road salt use and resulting source water contamination has widespread
implications for corrosion of drinking water infrastructure, including chloride acceleration of …

A pilot experiment examined lead leaching from four representative configurations of service
lines including:(1) 100% lead (Pb),(2) 100% copper (Cu),(3) 50% Pb upstream of 50% Cu …

Remediation and recovery of highly toxic lead ions are highly important for water
purification. In this study, a simple two-step method is developed to obtain the cobalt …

Galvanic corrosion as a mechanism of toxic lead release into drinking water has been under
scientific debate in the US for over 30 years. Visual and mineralogical analysis of 28 lead …

Release of lead from 80% partially replaced service lines was compared to full lead service
lines using harvested–stabilized lead pipes and field brass connectors. After more than a …

Lead pipe has been banned for distributing drinking water in the 1980s and partial
replacement of lead pipes with stainless steel pipes has been practiced in many Asian …

Partial lead service line replacements (PLSLR) were simulated using five recirculating pipe
loops treated with either zinc orthophosphate (1 mg/L as P), orthophosphate (1 mg/L as P) or …

After a utility switched its source water from ground to surface water in 2017, first draw water
lead levels spiked due to increased lead solder corrosion that could not be explained by …
