Case Study: Indiana Finance Authority improves school lead sampling at scale with 120Water

Indiana Finance Authority samples 915 school buildings and 57,000 tests with 120Water

The Indiana Finance Authority, in partnership with the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, faced the challenge of creating a uniform lead testing method for all public schools in the state. They needed to manage field testing scheduling and provide real-time data to enable quick remediation decisions. To address this, they partnered with vendor 120Water and used its cloud-based platform and point-of-use testing kits.

120Water configured its platform to manage the program's execution, facilitate lab coordination, and centralize test results. This solution enabled the sampling of 915 school buildings and the collection of 57,000 samples. The program provided actionable data, revealing that 61% of schools had at least one fixture exceeding the lead action level, though on average only 8% of fixtures per building were above the threshold. 120Water's tools ensured the state could effectively track progress and communicate results.
