本文讨论了上莫霍克河谷地区水资源委员会于1992年投产的一个新的水过滤和处理设施。根据铅和铜规则进行了腐蚀控制研究。从腐蚀控制研究中了解到，在过滤水的能力和处理团的改进之间，困扰尤蒂卡系统多年的纽约州和联邦法规违规行为得到了缓解。由于过滤设施去除了原水中的有机前体，三卤甲烷的平均水平降至36 ppb。通过管道回路研究确定有效的腐蚀控制策略已将第90百分位的铅水平降至11 ppb。 其他研究确定，自1994年底以来，腐蚀控制策略将大肠菌群总数保持在最低水平。其他话题包括:过程中遇到的负面新闻；恢复公众的信心；成为一个积极主动的水利部门；与新闻媒体建立积极的关系；编写新闻稿；水质报告；设施四；水周活动；消费者口味和气味面板；教育项目和研讨会；还有培训。

This paper discusses a new water filtration and treatment facility that was brought on line in 1992 by the Upper Mohawk Valley Regional Water Board. A corrosion control study was done in accordance with the Lead and Copper Rule. Between the ability to filter the water and refinements in the treatment regiment learned from the corrosion control studies, the New York State and Federal code violations that had plagued the Utica system for years were abated. Trihalomethane levels dropped to an average of 36 ppb due to the removal of the organic precursors in the raw water by the filtration facility. Corrosion control strategies that were determined to be effective by pipe loop studies have lowered lead levels to 11 ppb at the 90th percentile. Additional studies determined that the corrosion control strategies kept the total coliform occurrences to a minimum since late 1994. Other topics covered include: the negative press encountered in the process; regaining the the public's confidence; becoming a pro-active water department; building positive relationships with the news media; developing press releases; water quality reports; facility fours; water week activities; consumer taste and odor panels; educational programs and seminars; and, training.
