Newark Revamps Corrosion Control Strategy for Water Service Lines

摘要

The city of Newark, New Jersey, USA, is introducing a new corrosion control treatment program and working to replace lead service lines on private property after tests have repeatedly showed elevated lead levels in drinking water. In 2017, Newark first reported lead levels above 15 ppb, which is the regulatory limit set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) (Washington, DC, USA) Lead and Copper Rule.
