Case Study: Summerville Commissioners of Public Works achieves no-lead verification approval with BlueConduit

Summerville Commissioners of Public Works uses BlueConduit to classify service lines for 50,000+ residents

The Summerville Commissioners of Public Works (CPW), a water utility serving over 50,000 residents, faced the challenge of identifying lead service lines (LSLs) within their system to meet regulatory compliance. The utility lacked the resources to physically inspect every service line. They partnered with vendor BlueConduit to use its statistical analysis and predictive modeling service for no-lead verification.

BlueConduit prepared and submitted a detailed Statistical Methods Approach to state regulators for approval. This approved solution allowed CPW to efficiently re-classify unknown service lines as non-lead without physical inspection of every line. The result was a more precise, efficient, and transparent compliance process for the water utility, enabling optimal resource allocation.
