Presentation 1: Tools for Lead Service Line Identification
This presentation summarizes methods for lead service line identification, including records screening, basic visual examination of indoor plumbing, tailored water sampling, excavation, and other alternatives. It offers a qualitative comparison of method cost, accuracy, disturbance, and other impacts, as well as an example stepwise approach to identify unknown service line materials.
Presentation 2: Lead Service Line Replacement Eligibilities Under the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law
The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) is a federal-state program that provides funding and financing to public water systems for a wide range of drinking water infrastructure projects and activities. This presentation provides an overview of the DWSRF, explain DWSRF eligibilities related to lead service lines, and discuss opportunities for lead service line replacement under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
