Lead & Copper

Protecting Communities from Lead and Copper Risks

Lead and copper in drinking water pose serious health risks, especially to children and other vulnerable populations. Corrosion in aging infrastructure and varying water chemistry often exacerbate these issues, leading to non-compliance with stringent EPA standards.

How Carus Can Help

Carus offers proven solutions to mitigate lead and copper contamination:

Corrosion Control:

Orthophosphates form protective barriers on pipe surfaces, minimizing metal leaching.

Regulatory Guidance:

Expertise in developing, implementing, and optimizing Optimal Corrosion Control Plans (OCCPs) for US EPA compliance.

Customized Solutions:

Tailored treatment programs to align with your water system’s specific challenges and composition.

Field and Lab Support:

Access to Carus’ technical team for water sampling, system monitoring, and data interpretation.

Solutions in Action

  • Achieve and maintain compliance with US EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule.
  • Safeguard public health by reducing lead and copper exposure.
  • Extend the life of water system infrastructure with proactive treatments.
