Technical and Legal Aspects of Copper Tube Corrosion
This article discusses a case history on corrosion and pitting in a housing development in Southern California. A subsequent court litigation between the builder and the water purveyor resulted in the court's ruling that the water purveyor was guilty of breach of warranty. The authors feel that the particular water cannot be indicted as predominant causative agent and that the consultants' recommendation to reduce the carbon dioxide content of the water is not a feasible treatment for corrosion control. From a scientific point of view, the court's findings of fact, that “the water supplied was dangerous and defective and was not of merchantable quality, all for reason of being of corrosive quality and of such quality as to produce leaks within copper tubing,” cannot be corroborated by theoretical inference nor by experimental evidence or empirical experience with similar waters.
