feb 12, 2019 - Data-Driven Approach

Description:

"In an agreement filed by the parties of the 2017 settlement, the city of Flint committed to using a data-driven approach to locate the remaining lead pipes delivering drinking water to residents’ homes. The city will use a statistical model—already proven effective in earlier efforts—to guide its selection of homes for service line excavations in 2019. This approach will increase efficiency and help ensure all remaining lead pipes are identified and removed."
