Although the utility has been made responsible for water quality degradation caused by corrosion, there is presently no approved way to document compliance. The authors also believe that federal guidance in identifying and solving domestic water corrosion problems is lacking, but that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) could help to fill this void by preparing a manual that would define the state of the art in corrosion testing and water quality monitoring at the customer's tap.
