The BlueConduit Story
In the wake of the Flint water crisis, a team of faculty and student data science researchers at the University of Michigan recognized a critical opportunity to support communities in addressing the threat of toxic lead in their water supply.
This pivotal moment gave birth to BlueConduit, a pioneering water analytics company committed to revolutionizing water infrastructure decision making and management.
Since 2016, our team of expert data scientists has generated service line material predictions and, more recently, risk of water main breaks and leaks, using rigorous, academically-based AI and machine learning algorithms, supported by the best technology available to make their work accessible to every water system.
