Lead Service Lines Get Flushed

2/6/2019

 

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:
  • Amanda Reddy, Executive Director, National Center for Healthy Housing (moderator)
  • Lynn Thorp, Campaigns Director, Clean Water Action
  • David Cornwell, President, Cornwell Engineering Group

Counting and Communicating the Number and Location of LSLs

10/10/2018

 
Webinar Description
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:
  • A summary of state surveys and address-specific utility maps
  • A case study from Washington State on their LSL survey
  • A case study from DC Water on their interactive map of LSLs in Washington, DC
  • Results from EDF’s research on communicating address-specific LSL information​

Leveraging Existing Funding Sources

5/30/2018

 
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:
  • Overview of funding strategies and recent activity;
  • Results of a new Harvard Law School Clinic study of policies in 12 states with the most LSLs for using revenues from water rates for replacement of lead service lines on private property; and
  • A case study on the use of grants from Green Bay Wisconsin, in the context of recent Wisconsin legislation.

​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.
