Case Studies
Getting the Lead Out
Communities across the U.S. are removing thousands of lead service lines to meet impending lead & copper rule regulations. With a strong database and management system like leadCAST, data remains clean, trackable, and up-to-date at all times and includes a public-facing dashboard to share digestible real-time project information with stakeholders.
Salem, VA uses leadCAST to combine their meter inventory, customer accounts, parcels, and service lines into a single inventory. The inventory makes use of all tabular sources (CSVs and spreadsheets) with existing GIS layers to review all data in one interface. Machine learning also helped Salem to predict and categorize service lines with unknown materials into those with the least or most likelihood of lead with a 95% confidence interval. The Salem team now has easy access to their service line data and can share this with community stakeholders in a public dashboard. Salem can stay one step ahead of the LCRR deadline and continue to provide the utmost level of customer satisfaction.
