Lead (Water) Testing Results

According to state law, school districts are required every five years to complete a round of lead testing of water outlets used for drinking and cooking, unless the state Commissioner of Health requires testing sooner.

The law requires school districts to sample all water outlets currently or potentially used for drinking or cooking purposes in buildings that may be occupied by students and to submit those samples to a state approved lab for analysis. The state established an action level of 5 micrograms of lead per liter, typically referred to as “parts per billion (ppb).”

If a sample from a water outlet exceeds this level, schools must take steps to prevent the use of the outlet for drinking or cooking purposes until it is remediated and follow-up testing confirms it is no longer above the action level.

Fixtures tested at F-M consist of faucets, drinking fountains/bottle filler stations or fixtures that were not able to be secured or controlled by way of supervision and labeling or physical locks.

Below are the most recent results and remediation plans by building. Individual lab reports are available upon request by contacting the Director of Facilities Geoff Brown, (315) 692-1250.
