Case Study: Indiana Finance Authority achieves standardized lead sampling across Indiana schools with 120Water

Indiana's Standardized Lead Sampling in Schools Program

The Indiana Finance Authority, in partnership with the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, faced the challenge of standardizing lead testing across all public schools in the state. Their objectives included developing a uniform testing method, managing field scheduling, and gaining real-time data access to facilitate quick remediation decisions. They partnered with 120Water to use its cloud-based platform and testing kits to execute this program at scale.

120Water configured its platform to manage the program's execution, coordinating lab work and centralizing test results into accessible dashboards. This solution enabled the sampling of 915 school buildings and the collection of 57,000 samples. The data revealed that 61% of schools had at least one fixture exceeding the lead action level, enabling targeted remediation and ensuring safer drinking water for students.
