Full Description

The author calls for regulators, water providers, and manufacturers to work together to make the third party additives program cost- effective. The author asks that testing be confined to the materials of manufacture and not the finished piece, holding that if the material itself does not inject additives into the water, then it does not matter if the material is formed as a pipe or valve. He also points out that testing laboratories are currently asking for all components of all lubricants or cutting oils and other materials used in the manufacture of valves and other products. The author questions whether this approach is cost-effective. He suggests the water industry set priorities based on what materials are most dangerous or have the greatest surface exposure to the drinking water.
