Corrosion Control

After a multi-year, proactive study, GLWA is planning to update its corrosion control strategy through a phased adjustment to the current orthophosphate dosage used in its five water treatment plants (Lake Huron, Northeast, Southwest, Springwells, & Water Works Park). While there is no lead in GLWA’s water and no lead pipes in GLWA’s transmission system, upping the orthophosphate dosage will provide added protection for our member partners’ local systems.
