Board approves lead remediation communication after two bottle fillers test positive
Summary
Following post-replacement testing, two bottle fillers still showed lead detection; the board approved capping the fixtures, posting the remediation communication on the district website, and noted the district will be exempt from testing requirements for five years after the action.
Board member (S4) presented a lead remediation communication plan required after recent lead pipe replacement and testing. The board learned that two bottle-filling stations still tested positive for lead despite pipe replacements; one bottle filler has already been capped and the board approved capping the remaining unit over winter break.
"They came in and tested all of the fixtures, and they still found 2 bottle fillers that were emitting lead," Board member (S4) said, adding the district did not understand why lead was detected on fixtures that had been replaced. The board approved the communication plan and directed staff to email the report to affected parties and post it on the district website; following those steps the district will be clear from testing for five years.
No vote tally with names was recorded in the transcript beyond board members saying 'Aye' and the Chair declaring the motion approved.
