🚱 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱-𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗽𝗶𝗽𝗲𝘀 are a hidden risk in many U.S. water systems, often slipping past standard detection methods. Our experts have helped water utilities better understand and address this issue to protect public health and comply with EPA requirements. https://bit.ly/3YakNVS ✍️ Environmental scientist Isabel R. and project technical leader Kristin Epstein explain in their latest article: "Lead-lined iron and steel pipes, once common in U.S. water systems, are often overlooked due to incomplete records and the limitations of standard inspections. Without additional investigation, these pipes may go undetected, posing risks." Isabel and Kristin have compiled and assessed historical data to help utilities asses if further investigation is necessary when developing their service line inventories. 💧 By using historical records, visual inspections, and new technologies like remote sensing and X-ray tools, utilities can find these hidden pipes and work to protect #waterquality. Through careful research and smart solutions our experts are working with water systems towards a future of safe drinking water for communities everywhere. https://bit.ly/3YakNVS💡 #LeadandCopperRule #DrinkingWater #Infrastructure #LeadLinedPipes #LCRR #LCRI #LCR

Meet Jack Dennison, a true jack-of-all-trades. ♣️♠️♥️♦️ He’s a University of Connecticut geography quiz bowl champ, safe water and geographic project enthusiast, supporter of children’s healthcare systems and now CDM Smith’s 2024 Intern T-Shirt Design Contest Winner! 🚀👕 https://lnkd.in/e8pc-adc 💭 Jack was a GIS specialist intern in our Manchester office when he came up with his design. Inspired by his school’s HuskyTHON Miracle Network Dance Marathon, a completely student-run philanthropic effort raising money for the Connecticut Children's Hospital with a dance marathon, he knew where the proceeds would go to if he won. Between shirt sales, employee donations and our employer match, altogether we made an important impact and raised $5,860 to Connecticut Children's Foundation where more children will get access to life-saving medical care! 🩺💛 Every year, our summer interns are invited to create unique and innovative apparel reflecting our firm’s work, and every year we’re inspired by their creativity and willingness to make the most impact.
