The Lead and Copper Rule: What's New and Improving

In recent years, the EPA has initiated revisions to the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) intended to identify and remove lead service lines and ultimately reduce lead in drinking water. This workshop will provide guidance and case studies related to the Revised LCR (LCRR) and recently proposed LCR Improvements (LCRI) in a program that is tailored to Pacific Northwest drinking water systems. The workshop will feature presentations on current and proposed regulatory requirements, bench and pilot testing guidance and case studies from Pacific Northwest industry experts, utilities and regulators. 

This workshop is presented by the PNWS-AWWA Research and Water Quality Committees
