Minimize the unknowns in your Service Line Inventory
Unknowns increase compliance requirements and make it difficult to fund and plan replacement projects.
BlueConduit’s statistical methods and compliance support empower water systems to classify unknowns as “Lead,” “GRR,” or “Non-Lead” in the Service Line Inventory, empowering them to plan for funding needs and replacements efficiently and simply.
Why BlueConduit?
Benefits of BlueConduit’s Lead Service Line Unknown Management solutions
Predictions for multiple materials
LSL Predictions provides predictive analysis for a variety of hazardous materials, including lead, GRR, galvanized, lead goosenecks, and more.
Targeted, phased field investigations
BlueConduit’s process only requires field investigations for a small percentage of your system, compared to the time consuming task of investigating the entire system.
‘Lead’ definition assessment
Support classification as “Lead”, “GRR”, and “Non-Lead” for Service Line Inventory, aligned with state-specific definitions.
State-compliant Inventory technology
Save time and feel confident that your Inventory meets state guidance with Inventories delivered in state-compliant formats.
No Lead Validation
Manage unknowns and validate “No Lead” for your Service Line Inventory using locally-tailored statistical methods and reporting.
Unlock funding opportunities
Partnering with BlueConduit boosts water systems' access to financial resources through supportive data-backed evidence and communication support.
How it Works
Based on the data review and conversations with water system stakeholders, BlueConduit’s Data Science Team will recommend a phased list of representative field investigations needed to ensure statistically sound, compliant predictions.
Based on the representative sample combined with existing data, LSL Predictions, supported by expert Data Scientists, makes service line material predictions for every service line segment of unknown material. For water systems with no known or inspected lead, a No Lead Validation report can be generated to statistically validate the low likelihood of lead across the full water system.
BlueConduit’s expert team partners with you to discuss compliance requirements, material classification, and timelines.
Based on your unique data and state criteria, service line materials are classified as “Lead,” “Non-Lead,” “Unknown” and other relevant classifications.
Our technology, enabled by decisions made during compliance reviews, transforms your data into a state-compliant Service Line Inventory format.
