Reducing Unknowns: Inventory Validation Techniques

A Lead Service Line Inventory is the backbone of Lead and Copper Rule compliance. With the revised Rule mandating the creation of an inventory from each water system, finding and documenting Lead Service Lines will set your utility up for future success and help keep your community safe. Once a preliminary inventory has been created through gathering existing data sources or field inspections and employing techniques such as predictive modeling, the next step is validating that data and filling in gaps to ensure the accuracy of records and predictions.
