Advancing Safe Drinking Water and UN SDGs through Lead Service Line Replacement

The Sustainable Drinking Water Infrastructure Hub supports governments, utilities, and Tribal authorities in strengthening safe drinking water infrastructure through equitable, data-driven planning. The Hub provides access to the UNEP-recognized Lead Service Line Replacement Cost Calculator (LSLRCC), a free, multilingual tool that models project costs, informs risk-based investment, and supports compliance with the U.S. EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI) and State Revolving Fund (SRF) programs.

Recognized by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and international sustainability networks, the Hub advances key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including Clean Water and Sanitation (SDG 6), Good Health and Well-Being (SDG 3), Reduced Inequalities (SDG 10), and Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11).

This public resource complements the LSLRCC record already hosted on IHP-WINS, placing it within a broader ecosystem of applied research, policy alignment, and knowledge sharing dedicated to advancing safe, equitable, and risk-informed drinking water management worldwide.
