Abstract

Key Takeaways: A 2019 US corrosion control survey benchmarks recent utility perspectives before the release of the proposed LCR revisions, providing insight on regulatory impacts. Rates of orthophosphate use continue to increase, and the results add to evidence that orthophosphate is effective for controlling lead release. The primary challenge facing utilities is coordinating compliance sample collection, and the greatest priority is ensuring optimal corrosion control treatment.
