Mapping Lead Service Lines

Online maps showing what is known and, just as importantly, not known about the service line is a significant step in developing a successful LSL replacement initiative. Making the information publicly available in familiar mapping formats should not only provide an incentive to have the LSL replaced, but it should encourage people to find out whether a property has one and keep the utility informed so it has the latest information.

• Mapping LSLs: Charting a path to engage a community
• Counting and Communicating the Number and Location of LSLs

Examples of lead service line mapping in larger cities include:

• Greater Cincinnati Water Works: Service Line Information
