Neptune Celebrates 15 Years of Lead-Free Metering

Since the conversion of its foundry to lead-free operations in 2001, Neptune Technology Group has produced nearly 32 million lead-free bronze alloy meters that have proven themselves in the field. For years, these lead-free meters have met NSF/ANSI 61, Annex F standards for lead performance, NSF 372 for lead content, and the most recent Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) regulations.

In an atmosphere of uncertainty, having a tried-and-true option is worth its weight in bronze — lead-free bronze. “In 2001, we made a significant investment to switch to lead free bronze,” said Neptune President Charles C. DiLaura. “After weighing all the social and environmental benefits, we believed that our decision was prudent; and the current environment has validated our position.”
