Contractor
CDM Smith Inc.
Abstract
This project developed, validated, and demonstrated a portable device that allows water utilities to monitor lead and copper values without engaging in household tap sampling. This monitoring provided insight into potential premise plumbing metal release and changes in the rate of metal release to evaluate corrosion control effectiveness. The final report contains design instructions for the approved device, testing results, and statistical validation of the device. Research partner: EPA. Published in 2014.
