Extent And Magnitude Of The Problem: Potable Water Distribution System: 880,000 miles of pipe comprise the nation s drinking water distribution network AWWA WATER-STATS2002. A Department of Defense report estimates that corrosion related problems cost the Department of Defense $15 billion dollars/year. Typical Water Distribution Systems: Potential corrosion problems, Threat to Water Potability, Threat to Fire Suppression, Lack of system redundancy, Large area subtended by the system, Treatment chemicals and Control systems (SCADA).
