MON09
Lead and Copper: Testing Evaluations and
Implementing Corrosion Control
2:00–5:00 p.m.
Room: Mile High Ballroom 3A
Track: Managing Lead in Distribution Systems
Moderator: Jeff Swertfeger
Lead and copper enter drinking water primarily through plumbing
materials. The regulation to control lead and copper in drinking
water is known as the Lead and Copper Rule and requires
systems to monitor drinking water systems. Hear from the
experts on various testing evaluations for lead and copper and
treatment practices for corrosion control to minimize lead in
water distribution systems.

Indirect Potable Reuse Technologies and Projects
2:00–5:00 p.m.
Room: Mile High Ballroom 3C
Track: Potable Reuse
Moderator: Steve Wait
Potable reuse necessitates the advancement of alternative water
supplies with the rigorous protection of public health. In many
cases, current utility policies do not meet the need to achieve
these simultaneous goals, resulting in project implementation
challenges. Presenters discuss their perspectives on potable
reuse policy development emphasizing the need to remain
vigilant about providing safe, high quality water to consumers
independent of the source.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Rural Development,
Rural Utilities Service, Water and Environmental Programs
(WEP) funds loans and grants for water and waste infrastructure,
as well as technical assistance to rural communities. This
program will help small utilities develop competitive funding
applications to WEP while leveraging funding from other state
and federal sources.
