Lead Service Line Replacement Cost Calculator Featured on UNDP SparkBlue

Chicago, Illinois – December 12, 2025
Environmental & Public Health International® (EPHI) announced the inclusion of its Lead Service Line Replacement Cost Calculator® (LSLRCC) on the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) SparkBlue platform. The listing recognizes the tool as an openly accessible resource that supports climate resilient drinking water infrastructure, advances the Sustainable Development Goals, and strengthens systems of environmental governance.

Strengthening Collaboration Through UNDP’s SparkBlue Platform

SparkBlue is UNDP’s global digital platform that enables staff, partners, and practitioners to exchange knowledge and contribute to development policy. The listing of the LSLRCC on SparkBlue broadens access to a practical, openly available resource that supports governments and communities advancing climate adaptive drinking water infrastructure.

Strengthening Local Capacity for Climate Adaptive Decision Making

By providing a science based model adaptable to diverse contexts, the tool supports decision makers working to plan safe and equitable drinking water systems. It reinforces transparent planning processes and advances public health protection for communities with limited resources.

Advancing UNDP Collaboration and UNEA 7 Governance Themes

EPHI’s recent stakeholder inputs reinforce global efforts to strengthen institutional capacity and evidence informed decision making. The submission reflects governance priorities under consideration at UNEA 7 and underscores the value of open platforms such as SparkBlue in supporting cooperation between UNDP, UNEP, and civil society.

“Environmental & Public Health International remains committed to supporting public institutions and communities with practical tools that strengthen drinking water safety, build climate resilience, and contribute to global efforts to protect human health and the environment,” said Anthony Ross, Founder of Environmental & Public Health International.
