The contract was awarded to Wilson Excavating, a division of The Lindy Group, for Pittsburgh Water's 2024 Neighborhood Lead Service Line Replacement (LSLR) Contract that requires SWORDFISH testing.

Electro Scan's exclusive service partner, Element 82, a division of Crown is performing SWORDFISH testing for 1,600 homes.

"We congratulate Wilson Excavating for winning this competitive bid and applaud the visionary leadership of Will Pickering (CEO, Pittsburgh Water) and Dan Duffy (Principal at East Woods Consultants, LLC) for pioneering lead pipe identification and remediation," states Mike App, Executive Vice President, Electro Scan Inc.
