Board update: lead testing of water sources remediated and retested, district says
Loading...
Summary
Facilities committee reported mid‑July lead tests found outlets above 5 ppb, those outlets were taken out of service or remediated, retesting confirmed compliance with new regulations, and the district posted a community notification on 07/21/2025.
The facilities committee told the board that lead testing and remediation work on district water outlets was completed and retested to meet new regulatory limits.
As reported by facilities committee member Miss Feldman, the district tested all water sources in mid‑July and removed or remediated any potable outlets that showed levels higher than 5 parts per billion. She said the district followed up with retesting and that “all of our potable water sources are fully in compliance with the new regulations.” The district posted a community notification on July 21, 2025, and corrective actions were completed by the start of the school year, she said.
Miss Feldman also said the district had installed or is installing filtered water‑bottle filling stations funded through state and Assemblymember support to proactively provide healthy water to students and staff. The board did not take additional action at the meeting; the facilities update was presented as an informational committee report.
The presentation emphasized steps taken to protect students and staff; it did not list every school outlet or provide post‑remediation test values in the meeting record. The transcript indicates signs to mark non‑potable outlets were posted or would be reposted as needed.
