"Understanding New Modifications to the Lead and Copper Rule"

Speaker: Zaid Chowdhury, PhD, P.E., BCEE

ABSTRACT: 

One of most far-reaching drinking water regulation is the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR).  This rule is aimed at reducing exposure to lead from drinking water consumption.  The first version of LCR came out in the 1990s and have undergone some revisions over the years with the most recent revision published in early 2021.  The current impetus of the revised rule is to get most or all of the lead service lines from water distribution system.  This presentation will provide a summary of the requirements of the recently published LCR Revisions (LCRR) and also discuss what water utilities could do to prepare for this rule.
