The dilemmas and the dangers: drinking water comes from natural sources and is exposed to various pollutants. Plumbing and water quality professionals continually explore these and other critical questions and challenges to ensure safe potable water: oHow are various “foes” introduced in the water supply and what can be done about them? oDo flow rates, pipe-sizing and temperature affect water quality and safety? How? oWhat codes/regulations/standards (on the state and federal level) apply to our water? oDo the Safe Drinking Water Act and the Lead & Copper Rule have an impact? oAre the reduced flow rates for water conservation creating a new problem? oWhat can be done to address pollutants and contaminants (i.e.: Legionella; PFAS & PFOA; BioFilm; lead/metals; pathogens: viruses, parasites & bacteria; corrosion/erosion; chemicals from manufacturing (or even health and beauty products); and more?
These topics will be covered through the panel discussion, along with questions and comments from our attendees. Don’t miss this substantial examination and insights by experienced experts in the field of water safety and quality.
