This article discusses the Philadelphia Water Department's experience with developing and fully integrating a corrosion control program into its design, construction, and operational activities. Corrosion control features were incorporated into all new plans where required; inspectors were specifically trained to make sure that corrosion control facilities were properly installed; and, a programmed study of the existing transmission and distribution system has been undertaken to correct the existing problems. The development, in 4 year's time, of such a broad project in a water system serving the fourth largest city in this country was a major accomplishment.
