Water utilities and municipalities face increasing regulatory pressure to ensure lead-free drinking water. The EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI) set clear deadlines and requirements, but navigating compliance while managing limited resources is no small task.
BlueConduit’s predictive modeling and data-driven solutions help utilities like yours streamline compliance, minimize unknowns, optimize LSL replacement, and maximize available funding—all while building public trust.
What compliance means for your water system
The revised LCRI requires utilities to:
Replace all LSLs by 2037
Submit a detailed replacement plan by 2027, including strategies for unknown management, replacement prioritization, and more
Prioritize LSL replacements based on public health impact and other factors
Replace 10% of LSLs per year from 2027-2037
Submit annual inventory updates as long as lead, GRR, or unknowns remain
Send annual customer notifications to those with lead, GRR, or unknown material lines
And more
Failing to comply can lead to public system exposure, difficulty accessing funding, and public distrust. Staying ahead of these requirements is critical for water systems of all sizes.
