Martin County Saves Millions With leadCAST's Automated Workflows And Statistical Analysis To Tackle LCRR

Faced with a looming regulatory deadline and over half of its water service lines unverified, Martin County Utilities in Florida needed a swift, efficient strategy to meet the EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR). Serving more than 100,000 residents and managing over 45,000 service lines, the county partnered with CDM Smith and Trinnex to take on this complex challenge. Central to the solution was Trinnex’s leadCAST platform—a powerful tool that integrates data, streamlines workflows, and leverages predictive modeling to accelerate compliance efforts.

Through leadCAST, Martin County consolidated disparate data sources and deployed targeted field verifications on just 852 service lines. Advanced statistical analysis enabled the classification of over 26,000 previously unknown lines as non-lead, without costly physical inspections. The result? An estimated $20 million in savings, faster compliance, and minimal disruption to residents.

This case study highlights how digital innovation and strategic partnerships can revolutionize utility management. By embracing cutting-edge tools and expert guidance, Martin County not only met regulatory demands but also set a new standard for proactive, cost-effective public service.
