This session chronicles the events leading up to the Flint water crisis and its aftermath. With the nationwide news coverage, the water industry and regulation have taken a hit on its reputation. It is time to take the time to review the event and consequential refocus on the subject of Lead and Copper in our drinking water, plus the monitoring of this contaminant. Special emphasis will be given to the political and economic climate of the region, operational missteps and regulatory failures.

After the Flint, Michigan story there has been a new emphasis on the monitoring of Lead and Copper in our drinking water. While the federal rule has not gone through a major revision, California has implemented several new measures intended to control lead in the drinking water. Are you up to date with these?

Please join us and learn or reinforce your understanding of these new standards and requirements:

·                    Flint, Michigan: Who, what, how and when did this crisis take place?

·                    Discuss what is happening in your neighborhood; can this happen to you?

·                    New: Lead And Copper Rule Minor Revisions (LCRMR); what is the new focus?

·                    Is this nothing but more sampling? (The answer may surprise you)

·                    Review what a valid sample is

·                    Find out if your system needs to incorporate corrosion controls

·                    What do you tell the public?
