Chicago, Illinois – August 29, 2025
Environmental & Public Health International (EPHI) announced that its equity-focused water infrastructure tool, the Lead Service Line Replacement Cost Calculator (LSLRCC), has been featured in the American Water Works Association (AWWA) Opflow magazine. This prestigious recognition positions the LSLRCC as a leading solution for municipalities, public water systems, and planners proactively modeling lead service line replacement costs. The multilingual resource, available in English and Spanish, enables communities to estimate costs, streamline budgeting, and accelerate efforts to eliminate lead exposure from drinking water.

Supporting Compliance and SDG Alignment

Built on hands-on expertise from the Flint Water Crisis response, the LSLRCC helps utilities and regulatory agencies maintain Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) compliance and implement Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI). The tool guides infrastructure upgrades funded through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and advances UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for safe water and sanitation. This ensures equitable access to clean drinking water and strengthens community water infrastructure resilience.
