This diagram depicts Washington University's model. It takes into account several factors, including water use patterns and water chemistry, to predict where lead particles will dislodge and end up in the drinking water supply during a partial lead service line replacement.

A new model has been developed for tracking where lead particles might travel during a lead service line replacement.
The hope of the team behind the study, engineers at Washington University in St. Louis, is that utilities can use the model to better plan pipe replacements...
