Health Effects and Water Quality Following Low Pressure Events in Drinking Water Distribution Systems in the United States
LPEs were associated with 20% higher risk of HCGI in HHs. Planned improvements to water distribution system infrastructure, adherence to industry standard distribution repair practices, and water monitoring following pipe repairs could supplement community alert systems to reduce illnesses from LPEs. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP15564.
