Ridgefield board approves action plan for lead in drinking water fixtures
Summary
The board approved the Ridgefield School District action plan to address lead in drinking water — a Department of Health requirement — noting most fixtures have been replaced and follow-up testing will occur after remaining installations.
The Ridgefield School District board approved the district’s action plan addressing lead in drinking water, a requirement tied to Department of Health compliance.
Superintendent Dr Rodriguez reported that the district has replaced the majority of affected fixtures and is awaiting a few final installations before pursuing follow‑up water testing. The board’s approval of the action plan enables the district to submit required documentation to the state health authority and proceed with confirmation testing after replacement work is complete.
No detailed testing numbers or timelines were provided in open session beyond the commitment to follow-up testing once the last fixtures are replaced. Board members expressed support for completing the remaining work and ensuring compliance with state requirements.
Next steps: the district will complete final fixture replacements and conduct the follow-up testing required by the Department of Health; the board’s approval confirms the district’s plan and authorizes staff to finalize the compliance steps.
