摘要

Implementation of the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) has resulted in significant reductions in first liter standing lead levels measured at the tap in the United States. However, there are still utilities that have implemented optimal treatment but may still experience lead levels at or near the action level for lead, or those that would like to go a step further in reducing lead levels measured in their system by proactively replacing lead source materials. For these utilities, an understanding of the contributions that various lead based materials may have on lead levels measured at the tap would be useful. This paper summarizes results from a recently completed AwwaRF study titled, Contribution of Service Line and Plumbing Fixtures to Lead and Copper Rule Compliance Issues. Total and dissolved lead levels were measured in consecutive sequential standing tap samples at residential sites in six utility locations. Results provide an indication of the relative contribution of various lead sources (faucet, premise, lead service) to lead levels measured at the tap, both in terms of total mass of lead measured at the tap, and LCR compliance. Results indicate that the presence of a lead service at an individual site may elevate the contribution of individual sources by providing an additional source of lead, either by introducing lead derived from the service at the start of the stagnation period, or by 'seeding' the premise system with lead. This lead can then be incorporated into the scales built up on the surfaces of the premise piping (including the faucet), from which it can be released over time depending on physical and chemical conditions. Lead can then be taken up into the water during stagnation and measured in standing samples collected at the tap, or picked up during flowing conditions. These results provide the water industry with additional information on the impact that material sources of lead may have on lead levels at the tap and how this might impact LCR compliance. Results also address the broader long-term goals of moving the industry towards a new 'lead free' future and providing information that can be directly applied to future regulatory reviews of the LCR.
