These efforts are done in accordance with two EPA guidance documents; Lead in Drinking Water in Schools and Non-Residential Buildings?and?3Ts for Reducing Lead in Drinking Water in Schools.

The EH&S team samples drinking water sources such as fountains, sinks, and water bottle fill stations.?Sample locations are selected based on recent construction or renovation work, impacts to water systems, or other regulatory requirements.

All testing results are posted on this site.
