This powerpoint presentation begins by providing background information on the internal layers of scale inside pipes that contain corrosion byproducts. An example of a case in Texas is presented, along with tap water quality and pipe water interactions. Key observations include: distribution systems are complex and dynamic (corrosion, nitrification, biological re-growth);chemically and biologically stable water willreduce the influence of pipe materials on waterquality; and,select benign pipe materials or lined pipes fornew or replacement pipes. Includes figures.
