Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI) go into effect in 2027 and require the identification and replacement of all lead and galvanized-requiring-replacement service lines on a 10 year timeline.

LSL Replacements helps you create a replacement prioritization strategy, which is a critical component of a LCRI-compliant replacement plan. We’re continuing to add additional functionality to our products to support all aspects of LCRI-compliant replacement plans; stay tuned for product updates in 2025. You can learn more about the LCRI requirements for replacement plans here.

Yes. As required by the LCRI, LSL Replacements incorporates presence of children, environmental justice index, and other relevant datasets into the replacement prioritization process.

LSL Replacements uses your known service line materials, as well as lead likelihood predictions from LSL Predictions, as the starting point for replacement prioritization. When you complete service line replacements and update your data, the new data dynamically updates your remaining lead likelihood predictions, which then automatically adjusts your prioritized replacement lists. And don’t worry – we make sure it is easy to see changes and track to your original plan.

BlueConduit has been focused on LSL replacement from the start; our initial work in Flint was focused on generating and using lead likelihood predictions in order to create a prioritized, efficient LSL replacement plan. We are excited to add more robust replacement tools and products to our portfolio. Still not convinced? Hear about our solutions directly from our partners.

Yes. Utilities with no or few outstanding unknowns in your service line inventory can use LSL Replacements without predictions.
