Source Evidence
Source Text
Engineer B's report recommended to the MWC the need for appropriate water treatment prior to making the change in water source to ensure that sufficient corrosion control is provided so that old service pipes in the MWC service area don't leach lead in excess of drinking water standards.
Text References
Engineer B pointed out at a public meeting with the Water Commissioners that public health and safety would be at risk.
Engineer B's report recommended to the MWC the need for appropriate water treatment prior to making the change in water source to ensure that sufficient corrosion control is provided so that old service pipes in the MWC service area don't leach lead in excess of drinking water standards.
The report clearly outlined the risk of even short-term exposure of adults, and particularly children, to elevated lead levels if appropriate treatment was not provided concurrent with the change in water source.
