Description:
The Lead Service Line Replacement Collaborative (“the Collaborative”) invites public health departments, water utilities, and affiliated organizations to join this session to learn about its resources, including new materials on enhancing equity in lead service line replacement programs as well as a “matchmaking survey” to connect local public health professionals and drinking water utilities. The Collaborative has a collection of resources to help communities across the country develop and implement replacement programs. The Collaborative is a joint effort of 28 national public health, water utility, environmental, labor, consumer, housing, and state and local governmental organizations to accelerate full removal of the lead pipes providing drinking water to millions of American homes.
