Putting things back better than we found them
What if digging up the roadway to replace your lead service lines became more than just scheduled maintenance? What if we could transform our infrastructure planning to ensure meaningful roadway upgrades? Jenny Humphreys and Sandy Kutzing are challenging leaders to think differently about utility coordination. Here they discuss how to streamline construction efforts for truly transformational results.

What to expect from a lead service line program
Lead service line replacement programs are a collaboration between the utility and customers: both sides must work together to get the lead out. This video outlines the general lead service line replacement program process, from inspection to post-construction. Contact your water utility to learn about the details of their program.

How can transparency help solve water quality crises?
Utilities across the country face increasingly difficult conversations about contaminants like PFAS and lead in drinking water. When regulatory requirements meet public concern, how utilities communicate can make the difference between maintaining trust and losing it entirely. Rose Hanson works on the front lines of some of the most complex lead and PFAS projects in the industry, and her approach centers on one principle: transparency isn't optional. It's essential.

5th liter sampling for Lead and Copper Rule compliance
Under the EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule Revisions, new sampling protocols that require collecting the fifth liter go into effect January 2025, and some water systems are asking their customers to start the new collection method now. Water collected in the fifth liter samples represents the water that has been sitting in a water service line outside of the house, whereas the first liter represents the water in contact with the faucet and interior plumbing. This video reviews the updated sampling process.

Is AI the key to finding and removing lead pipes?
Learn how leadCAST predict can save you time and money in the inventory process: https://www.trinnex.io/products/leadc... By October 2024, all water utilities in the U.S. will have to submit a service line inventory to the EPA to improve public health and remove lead in drinking water. Confirming service line materials throughout an entire system requires field verification programs, which take time and resources to complete. Predictive modeling is a viable alternative that focuses leveraging information collected in the field to understand patterns for the rest of the system, then predict the material of unknown services. Katie Deheer from Trinnex sat down to explain how utilities can save time and money with tools like leadCAST predict. She reveals how predictive models actually work, how she gets regulators on board, what it means to be a "responsible AI" and more. Katie has over a decade of experience implementing the latest technology solutions for her clients. Her work in data analytics spans across industries, from engineering and construction, to telecom, to commercial banking, and more. She currently leads the design, development and deployment of insightful digital solutions at Trinnex.
