Equity Considerations in LSL Replacement Programs
Date: April 22, 2020
Time: 3:00 - 4:00 PM EDT
Speakers and Topics:
Description
Lead service line (LSL) replacement is not a simple task. The LSL Replacement Collaborative has developed an online toolkit to help communities across the United States develop and implement replacement programs and is hosting a series of webinars to address specific topics related to this work.
A guiding principle of the LSL Replacement Collaborative is that LSL replacement initiatives should address barriers to participation so that consumers served by LSLs can benefit equitably, regardless of income, race, or ethnicity. In this webinar, we will hear about efforts to quantify and define equity issues and about solutions to address them.

Time: 3:00 - 4:00 PM EDT

- Alexis Woodrow with Denver Water will share Denver’s efforts to prioritize vulnerable populations and the city’s approach to other equity issues in development of its Lead Reduction Program
