Kleinfelder is pleased to announce the release of our Fiscal Year 2023 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report. The report reflects Kleinfelder’s commitment to environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and good governance principles.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently shared proposed improvements to the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations for Lead and Copper. This critical update aims to enhance public health protection by addressing lead and copper levels in drinking water systems, and there are several significant alterations and deadlines that water suppliers need to be aware of for compliance. Learn more about the updates and how Kleinfelder is ready to support water clients in navigating these regulatory changes here:

Kleinfelder Project Professional Ajay Sharma recently presented “Unlocking Insights: Harnessing OCR for Lead Service Line Inventories” at the New England Water Works Association (NEWWA) & New England Water Environment Association (NEWEA) Joint Information Technology & Asset Management Fair. “As many of us in the industry are aware, the EPA has amended the original 1991 Lead and Copper Rules, now called the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions, and are now mandating that all community water systems in the country submit a Lead Service Line Inventory (LSLI) to identify and replace lead within their systems,” Ajay said. “Optical Character Recognition (OCR) powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI), can streamline the foundational steps essential for creating a comprehensive LSLI by facilitating the extraction of vital information from various sources and records. As the first step in identifying lead service lines, OCR powered by AI can act as a catalyst for progress in addressing lead in drinking water. “Shoutout to Kleinfelder's dedication to fostering innovation and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in our field. Our collective efforts to address the challenges posed by these inventory requirements and impending improvements forthcoming to the LCRR demonstrates our commitment to being at the forefront of positive change.”
Earlier this month, Kleinfelder staff involved in the York Street Pump Station and Connecticut River Crossing Project attended a legislative briefing and ribbon-cutting event to celebrate the project’s completion. As the lead consultant, Kleinfelder designed and oversaw construction on this complex project – which included a new 62 MGD combined sewer pump station and screening facility, retrofit of the existing 30 MGD flood control pump station, and three new 1,100-foot-long wastewater conveyance pipelines that pass underneath an active Amtrak railroad and a US Army Corps of Engineers flood wall before crossing the Connecticut River and passing through a private levee to the Springfield Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility.
