Description:
This webinar in the Collaborative's series explores replacing LSLs in early learning environments. Children under the age of six are most at risk from the harmful effects of lead exposure due to their developing brains. As children spend a large portion of their day in early learning environments, such as child care facilities or schools, it is vital to ensure the safety of the drinking water in these facilities. This webinar is the seventh in the LSL Replacement Collaborative's series, and will explore how to address lead in early learning environments, with an emphasis on lead service lines. Speakers will provide:

Communities are posting interactive online maps to help residents determine if a specific address – whether a potential home, child-care or restaurant – may or may not have a lead service line. This webinar will explore how communities are developing these maps, wrestling with the uncertainties, and making sure they are effective. This webinar is the sixth in the LSL Replacement Collaborative's series. This webinar will provide:

March 7, 2019 2:00-3:30 pm ET The first webinar included an update on EPA’s lead service line replacement map, a presentation by Sam Perry from Washington State Department of Health – “The Quest for 100% Lead Free – Listening for Lead in Washington State”, and a presentation by Maureen Schmelling from DC Water - “DC Water’s Service Line Map and Methods to Improve Service Line Inventory”. See the recording. See the slides. See all webinars in EPA's series. Description: Lead enters drinking water when water is stagnant in contact with lead. Flushing, to cleanse or wash out with a rush of water, plays a role in reducing lead exposure, before, as part of, and following lead service line replacement. During this webinar, speakers will describe the roles of flushing, strategies for flushing for specific purposes, and example community-specific communication efforts to encourage effective flushing. Research is ongoing to improve our understanding of flushing practices. This webinar will capture the latest information from these research efforts. Speakers:

Developing inventories to document and share what is known about LSLs is a key aspect of a successful LSL replacement program. This webinar will explore examples of developing and communicating information on number and location of LSLs from both state-based surveys and address-specific utility maps. This webinar is the fourth in the Collaborative's five-part series. This webinar will provide:

Lead Service Line Replacement Collaborative
Webinar Series: Collaborating to Replace Lead Service Lines Webinar Summary A key challenge for accelerating LSL replacement is securing funding. A common approach is to leverage rates paid by customers to fund community programs, but there are limits in some states to using these funds to replace LSLs on private property. States are helping by providing grants and loans to begin work and to further leverage the funds. And the federal government is providing access to additional funds. This webinar – the second in a series of 5 webinars hosted by the LSL Replacement Collaborative – will provide:

Webinar Series: Collaborative to Replace Lead Service Lines Webinar Summary 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. This webinar – the first in a series of 5 webinars hosted by the LSL Replacement Collaborative – will provide an overview of the tools, examples, and types of information available on the Collaborative website. Whether you are a community leader, a public health professional, a drinking water professional, an elected leader, or a concerned consumer, this website has the answers – or can point you to the answers. “What You Need to Know from the Web Toolkit” will provide a deep dive into the online toolkit with the goal of motivating participants to make the most of these resources in their efforts to develop and implement LSL replacement initiatives.
