Case Study: City of Newark remediates lead service lines in under 3 years with 120Water

How Newark, NJ Remediated Their Lead Service Lines in Under 3 Years

The City of Newark faced significant challenges in addressing lead exceedances in its water supply, including a large, diverse population and the logistical difficulty of replacing private lead service lines at scale. To tackle this, Newark partnered with vendor 120Water to implement its software and services for an aggressive Lead Service Line Replacement Program (LSLR).

120Water provided a comprehensive solution that included post-replacement program management software, sample kit fulfillment, and extensive resident communication. This support was vital in helping Newark replace 24,000 lead lines in under three years, successfully educate the community, and manage the logistics of sending out 11,900 water testing kits.
