Research abstract
RECENT AMENDMENTS TO THE SAFE DRINKING WATER ACT (SDWA), APPLICABLE TO ALL ARMY INSTALLATIONS, REQUIRE EXTENSIVE MONITORING OF LEAD CONCENTRATIONS IN DRINKING WATER AT THE CONSUMER'S TAP. THIS RESEARCH EXPLORES THE FEASIBILITY OF A NON-INTRUSIVE STANDARDIZED TEST METHOD FOR LEAD CONTROL, WHICH DOES NOT REQUIRE UTILITY PERSONNEL TO ENTER CONSUMER'S HOMES. THE STANDARD TEST PROPOSED IS DESIGNED TO BE ADMINISTERED BY THE CONSUMER. THE INFORMATION OBTAINED PERMITS IDENTIFICATION OF LEAD LEACHING FROM HOME PLUMBING SO THAT UTILITY PERSONNEL CAN BE NOTIFIED FOR REMEDIATION.
