Lead service line replacement (LSLR) is an important strategy for reducing lead exposure
via drinking water, but jurisdictional issues can sometimes interfere with full replacement of …

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 …

Partial replacement of lead service lines (LSLs) often results in the excessive long-term
release of lead particulates due to the disturbance of pipe scale and galvanic corrosion. In …

Lead pipe has been banned in the drinking water distribution system in most countries since
1980s. Although water authorities around the world have attempted to replace all remaining …

Lead service lines (LSLs) are a major source of drinking water lead, and high iron levels are
frequently observed along with elevated lead release. A model distribution system, dosed …

Lead release into drinking water from lead service lines, lead containing solder and
plumbing fixtures continues to challenge many utilities. Corrosion inhibitors such as …

Galvanic corrosion of lead–tin solder in copper plumbing can be a major contributor to water
lead contamination. Here, we report the electrochemical reversal of the copper-solder …

Thirty-three households were monitored in a full-scale water distribution system, to
investigate the impact of recent (< 2 yr) or old partial lead service line replacements …

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 …

Deposition corrosion has been identified as a possible factor contributing to consumer
exposure to elevated lead in water after partial lead service line replacement. Dump‐and‐fill …
