Lead and Copper Compliance
Becki Rosenfeldt, corrosion control expert, assists utilities with Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) compliance, corrosion control treatment optimization, and locating and replacing lead services lines.
For decades, lead water pipes were installed across the U.S. because of their durability and ease of installation. However, advanced medical and scientific research has determined that lead exposure in drinking water from lead service lines and household plumbing poses significant public health risks, particularly to children and pregnant women, including neurological, pulmonary, and cardiovascular damage.
Copper can also present health risks at elevated levels and often signals underlying corrosion issues within the distribution system. Since both metals typically enter drinking water through the corrosion of plumbing materials, effective corrosion control remains a critical aspect of water system management.
In response to these challenges, Hazen is committed to developing comprehensive strategies for regulatory compliance and public health protection through our holistic, results-driven services.
