LOS ANGELES, Nov. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Crown Electrokinetics Corp. (NASDAQ: CRKN) (“Crown” or the “Company”), a leading provider of cutting edge technology solutions that benefit communities and the environment, today announced that it will participate in Electro Scan Inc.’s Lead Webinar on Tuesday, November 12, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
The event will focus on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) recently passed Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI), provide project updates from the City of Baltimore, discuss best practices for identifying buried drinking water pipes with smaller agencies in Florida and New York, and highlight Crown’s comprehensive lead pipe identification and remediation solution through its Elements 82 and PE Pipelines businesses.
“We are pleased to join the Electro Scan team at this important event to share best practices and lessons learned from all our ongoing lead detection and remediation projects,” says David Kinsella, President, Element 82 and PE Pipelines.
“With an estimated 100 million unidentified water service pipelines in the U.S., Crown’s services partnership with Electro Scan represents a major opportunity to support the EPA’s effort to create safer communities through its LCRI legislation. While the EPA now requires all lead drinking water pipes to be removed over a ten-year period, unidentified or unknown pipes must be treated the same as lead pipes and removed. As a result, water utilities have an incentive to identify unknown pipe materials, as non-lead,” concluded Mr. Kinsella.
California-based Electro Scan Inc. is the developer of the only commercially available machine-intelligent solution capable of automatically identifying buried copper, galvanized, plastic and lead pipe, without digging or excavation.
“Crown has become our ‘go-to’ services partner in response to unprecedented demand from America’s 40,000+ water systems to reduce the number of unknown pipe materials,” says Chuck Hansen, CEO, Electro Scan Inc. “The ability for Crown to offer a ‘find & fix’ solution – combining Element 82 and PE Pipelines – makes for a compelling platform to ensure the future water quality for Americans.”
