Municipal waters may be pH adjusted to a pH of approximately 7.5 to 8.0 to prevent corrosion of water pipes, particularly to prevent dissolution of lead into the water supply.
In the case of excessive alkalinity, the pH may be reduced by the addition of CO After the water is delivered from the utility or the well, there are many on-site options for further treatment to meet specific end-use requirements.
