The 1,693 community and non-transient non-community water systems in the EPA Service Line Inventory (SDWIS Federal Reports) for Ohio, each with a trigger score for lead service line replacement pressure: a 0–100 prioritisation index built from published records (line counts, funding signals and deadline timing), not a prediction that any system will start a project. Hover, tap or tab to a system for its trigger score, its lines and what the state's SRF list says about it.
State list used: Ohio EPA DWAF PY2027 Program Management Plan, Appendix B project priority and intended projects list with its forgiveness, emerging contaminant, lead service line and regionalization tables (30 July 2026). 550 of 550 list projects matched to a system on this map, by PWSID. Read: Appendix B's project priority and intended projects list and the four tables that repeat some of its projects (principal forgiveness, emerging contaminants, lead service lines, regionalization discount); a project in several tables is counted once. Seven projects whose General Plan was not submitted, which Ohio EPA says are unlikely to receive funding in PY2027, are labelled so.

County shading = replacement pool (lead + galvanized-requiring-replacement + unknown-material lines). Dots = the top 250 systems by trigger score, placed inside the county they serve (SDWIS publishes no coordinates), so position within a county is approximate and systems in one county overlap. Green ring = on the state SRF list for any project type.
How the trigger score works
Regulatory pressure (0–40): lead and galvanized-requiring-replacement line counts and unknown-material line counts. A latest lead action-level exceedance would add 6; it is not assessed in this snapshot, so the regulatory score can reach at most 34 here.
On the state SRF list, any project type (0–20): named on the state's project list for any project, lead related or not (+10); principal forgiveness or eligibility (+5); listed projects totalling $1M or more (+5). The +5 for an active project cannot be scored: this list does not state project status. Each card shows what the list says about the project.
Deadline proximity (0–25): days to the 1 November 2027 baseline lead service line inventory deadline. Every system gets 15 points in this snapshot.
Recent change (0–10): needs a change history; every system scores 0 in this snapshot.
The trigger score is a prioritisation index built from published records, not a prediction. It does not say that a listed project is lead related.
