The Harvard University-Boston University Climate and Health Platform has listed the Lead Service Line Replacement Cost Calculator as a climate-sensitive public health intervention. This recognition highlights the importance of drinking water infrastructure planning in reducing climate-amplified exposure risks.
The Lead Service Line Replacement Cost Calculator has been included in a national climate and health educational resource collection. This collection is coordinated by the Climate and Health Research Coordinating Center, a collaboration between Boston University School of Public Health and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The calculator enables governments and utilities to model replacement costs and support compliance with the U.S. EPA Lead and Copper Rule Improvements. Rising temperatures can increase lead release from aging service lines, elevating exposure risks. The tool contributes to evidence-based planning that aligns climate adaptation, public health protection, and infrastructure resilience. The listing reflects growing recognition within academic communities that drinking water systems are climate-sensitive public health infrastructure requiring transparent planning tools.
