Replacing Lead Service Lines in Early Learning Environments

4/24/2019

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:

An overview of lead in water in child care and schools;
A case study from Milwaukee;
A case study from Cincinnati; and
The perspective from a leading national child care organization.

Moderator:

Nsedu Obot Witherspoon, Executive Director, Children’s Environmental Health Network

Speakers:

Karen Dettmer, P.E., Superintendent, Milwaukee Water Works
Jim Nelson, School & Community Testing Liaison, Greater Cincinnati Water Works
Krista Scott, Senior Director, Health, Child Care Aware of America
