Community-Based Public-Private Partnership (CBP3)

A partnership between a local government and a private entity with the primary goal of providing high-quality, cost-effective services. CBP3 models may provide communities with an alternative for the funding and finance, design, construction, and operation and maintenance of water projects, and have been successfully demonstrated in green stormwater infrastructure, such as green streets, and are starting to be used for lead service line replacement (LSLR).

  1. The area deprivation index (ADI), which is a compilation of social determinants of health
  2. The percentage of children found to have elevated lead levels in their blood when tested for lead poisoning
  3. The density of lead service lines in the neighborhood.
