No Lead Validation
Made Easy
Manage unknowns and validate “Non-Lead” service lines for your Inventory using locally tailored, statistical methods and reporting.
Key Features
Statistically show the lack of lead in your water system
BlueConduit’s No Lead Validation offers the most accurate, transparent, and easy-to-use No-Lead analysis and report, and removes the headache of managing complex regulatory requirements and relationships.
Classify full system as "Non-Lead"
Using representative sampling and rigorous statistical analysis, we efficiently validate the lack of lead across your full water system and document results & process for your state regulators
Reliable compliance partner
BlueConduit’s experienced policy team works closely with state regulators to grasp the specific requirements of your state and advocate for your interests. Our technology ensures that your Service Line Inventory data meets state standards well before regulatory deadlines.
Major cost and time savings
spend 90-95% less on service line material identification
complete service line material identification in 2-3 months, compared to 3-10+ years for physical verification
Analysis for No Lead Validation is grounded in our Data Science team’s experience building lead likelihood models for hundreds of communities, as well as the water system’s internal knowledge and insights, to ensure the highest accuracy analysis without bias.
No Lead Validation includes a statistical methods approach, allowing water systems to statistically demonstrate the lack of lead service lines and successfully meet EPA and state compliance requirements for their Service Line Inventory.
Alongside the No Lead Validation report, BlueConduit’s technology, backed by skilled Data Scientists, produces clear and straightforward reports throughout the entire process. This approach ensures transparency, enhances understanding, and simplifies communication and compliance for water systems, regardless of their familiarity with data science analytics.
No Lead Validation provides inspection lists and predictions directly within your water system’s Esri environment, complemented by user-friendly dashboards and metrics. This integration allows you to leverage predictive data alongside other municipal datasets, maximizing Esri's capabilities for Service Line Inventory. For water systems not using Esri, we also offer delivery in other accessible formats.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, as needed. We can help you standardize and transform your data into a compliant Inventory. For all customers, we also do data reviews for compliance and help you utilize predictions to classify service line materials in your Inventory.
We consider multiple measures of accuracy including recall, precision, confidence interval, and ground truth hit rates, among other model performance metrics. For most customers, depending on the dataset, we are able to deliver our statistical analysis with a 95% confidence level. Learn more about how BlueConduit thinks about accuracy.
Yes, with AI defined as using a computer to do things that a human brain can also do. Specifically, our Data Science team builds machine learning models. We do not currently use artificial neural networks or generative models, such as ChatGPT, for our data science work. Learn more about how we think about and use AI, statistical analysis, and predictive modeling.
It depends on your existing dataset and your state’s guidance. Our models can often generate high confidence predictions with as few as 100-150 representative field verifications. Learn more about our approach to representative sampling.
Yes, based on your state’s specific guidance.
Cost savings are compared to the cost of verifying every service line, assuming an average verification cost of $1,000 per verification, which can include excavation, meter inspections, labor, customer notifications, pitcher/filter kits, etc. Time savings are compared to verifying every service line, assuming the number of verifications for BlueConduit are aligned with MI EGLE’s guidance and statistical best practices.
