Electro Scan Inc. Wins 7th Major Project in the State of New York for Lead Water Service Line Detection

City of Oneonta, New York Approves Electro Scan's $935,000 Proposal for Lead Water Service Lateral Inspection and Inventory Services

SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA, USA, July 17, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Electro Scan Inc. is pleased to announce its seventh major project awarded in the State of New York for Water Service line Detection. Last night, the City of Oneonta's Common Council approved a $935,000 proposal made by Electro Scan Inc. for Lead Water Service Lateral Inspection and Inventory Services for 700 homes.

"Water systems have experienced diminishing results from reviewing paper-based as-built drawings, maps, and records," stated Mike App, Executive Vice President, Electro Scan Inc.

"As a result, it is time to assess all the unknown pipe materials of water service lines in the field to accurately certify drinking water pipes are lead-free," continued App.

California-based Electro Scan Inc. and its patented SWORDFISH machine-intelligent technology is the only commercially available solution capable of determining one or more pipe materials used for buried water pipes, without the need to dig or excavate.

New York water systems adopting Electro Scan's SWORDFISH lead detection products and services, include:
• Bard College, Dutchess County, 100 Buildings
• City of Batavia, Genesee County, Population 15,459
• City of Little Falls, Herkimer County, Population 9,094
• City of Potsdam, St. Lawrence County, Population 15,322
• City of Oneonta, Genesee County, Population 15,518
• Town of Warwick, Orange County, Population 6,574
• Village of Ilion, Herkimer County, Population 7,621

Earlier this week, the City of Baltimore, Maryland issued its formal Notice to Proceed with Electro Scan Inc.'s $7.6 million. contract for Scanned Buried Lead Pipe Detection Services.

Next week, Electro Scan Services begins its survey of water service lines at Bard College, New York, in addition to conducting a survey of its first elementary school in the State of California – where a disadvantaged community school has experienced high lead readings, without finding any lead sources, and students unable to drink clean potable water.

A key advantage of Electro Scan technology is having the ability to deliver unambiguous and unbiased results that can certify lead-free water pipes.

Expected requirements of the upcoming EPA's Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI) legislation, water systems will need to validate inventory declarations, in addition to verifying pipe materials that are contested by ratepayers.

Preliminary inventories of all utility-owned and customer-owned water service pipe materials by over 50,000 U.S. water systems are due to be submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency by October 16, 2024 (in about 90 days), with the majority of water service lines expected to be designated as UNKNOWN PIPE MATERIALS.

Water systems are expected to have 3 or more years to certify their water lines are lead-free or risk mandated replacement over a ten-year period.
