Lead Testing
Over the summer, we conducted water testing at all District facilities and have been awaiting the results, which are coming in one-by-one. We just received initial results from Jackson Elementary School, where 39 possible sources of drinking water were tested. Testing included the collection of two water samples at each source. Initial results are that the first sample at the prep sink in the kitchen indicates an elevated level of lead. This means that the water source will be removed from service (either the water will be shut off to this outlet or it will be bagged and have signage that indicates it is out of service) while the second sample is tested. If the second sample shows a lead concentration below the EPA’s action level of 20 parts per billion (ppb), that water source will be determined safe and will be returned to service once the fixture has been replaced. If it shows a lead concentration above 20ppb, the piping will be traced to determine the source of the lead, the fixture will be replaced, and additional testing will be conducted before the source is approved for use. We will communicate again when we have the results from the second sample at this water source.
