How Artificial Intelligence Improves Efforts To Find And Replace Lead Service Lines

Given that lead is such a potent neurotoxin, getting the largest number of lead drinking water service lines replaced as quickly as possible is an obvious top priority. But it may not be immediately apparent why you'd want to use artificial intelligence and machine learning as part of these efforts. 

Relying on flawed service line records can put you in a situation where you erroneously believe you're actually quite successful at removing lead service lines. This sort of magical thinking is extremely tempting, but succumbing to the allure of an easy answer leaves an unknown amount of lead in the ground, continuing to do harm.
