Lead Service Line Replacement – Ideas for States
Lead service lines (LSL's) are a major source of the lead that gets into drinking water. This was a clear factor in the crisis in Flint.

We will never get to the goal of zero lead in drinking water without totally removing LSL's.

This webinar will provide the SDWIS community with information about how to do SDWIS Prime application testing during this first round of user acceptance testing (UAT), occurring April 24–May 5.

In addition, staff will describe the concept for SDWIS Fed quarterly reporting when SDWIS Prime goes live, which will rely on the new production control process.
