Engaging Communities in Planning and Communicating about LSL Replacement

Watch the webinar.

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.

This webinar in the Collaborative's series will explore examples of how water systems have worked to engage communities in the development of their LSL replacement plans and in communicating plans to consumers.

​Water systems and community group representatives from Newark, New Jersey and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania will share examples of how each city gathered community input in the formation of their LSL replacement programs. Each will also speak to the strategies they’re using to communicate about LSL replacement to the public, particularly to reach disadvantaged communities, including partnering with community groups.
