?? Check out this clip featuring Richard Diaz of the BlueGreen Alliance highlighting Milwaukee's lead service line replacement (#LSLR) program, and how it's boosting the local workforce! And don't miss the full video, found here: https://lnkd.in/gUcRxkSt
Milwaukee's lead service line replacement program is boosting workforce development by requiring contractors to hire 40% of their workforce from disadvantaged zip codes. This initiative also mandates apprenticeships for skilled trades, resulting in increased diversity among laborers, plumbers, and engineers, with a significant number of apprentices being women and minorities, says Richard Diaz of the BlueGreen Alliance.

????? New podcast alert! ????? We love seeing EPIC’s Director of Water Infrastructure Policy, Janet Meissner Pritchard, featured on @waterloop’s recent episode - Milwaukee’s Formula For Lead Line Replacement. Be sure to watch the full video here ?? https://lnkd.in/eKc9ki8E #Water #WaterManagement #WaterInfrastructure
Funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has helped Milwaukee accelerate replacement of lead service lines from 1,000 to 3,500 a year and replace the private side with no cost to the homeowner, says Janet Meissner Pritchard of the Environmental Policy Innovation Center (EPIC).

?? Water utilities are hard at work identifying and replacing #LeadServiceLines (#LSLs) and their wins and success stories need to be captured! ?? Utilities just getting started on LSL programs are looking for direction, good examples, and technical support to expedite their LSL replacement efforts in a cost efficient manner. EPIC has compiled a starter “Technical Advisory Toolkit for Lead Service Lines” to make it easy for water sector practitioners to find the references, case studies, and contacts they need to successfully #GetTheLeadOut.? Use the link below to learn more and find a working compilation of resources for water utilities and policy makers to leverage as they work to improve their LSL programs. ?? https://lnkd.in/eJ2GkDgv

?? #GetTheLeadOut AND galvanized too while we’re at it! ?? Most of the conversation around water service lines, replacement, and public health has (rightfully!) focused on toxic lead pipes - #LeadServiceLines (LSLs). While likely the largest source, it’s important to remember that LSLs are not the only source of lead in #DrinkingWater. In this latest blog, Marc Santos, P.E. and Maureen Cunningham take a deeper dive into #GalvanizedServiceLines and explore why utilities should be considering their removal as part of their #LeadServiceLineReplacement plans. ?? https://lnkd.in/e6Vh8gac

We are thrilled to see this latest report by the Ohio Environmental Council, supported by EPIC! Be sure to check it out, and let’s #GetTheLeadOut together!
NEW REPORT: Today, the OEC released a new cost-benefit analysis demonstrating the significant public health and economic benefits of fully replacing Ohio’s lead service lines. Ohio unfortunately ranks as one of the top states in the country for lead service lines. These pipes release low levels of lead into drinking water that can contribute to chronic health issues for adults and children. We must act now to get the lead out. The faster we act, the sooner Ohioans will realize the health and economic benefits of replacing those service lines. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/etzXjtbx
