Lead Based Water Testing

Keeping Drinking Water Safe

This webpage provides information to keep our school community fully informed about the safety of our water systems. Testing is currently underway and we will be posting results as they become available

Per the new Missouri "Get the Lead Out of School Drinking Act," a new law to ensure safe drinking water in all school districts throughout the state, the district hired a professional environmental consulting firm to conduct lead testing for all drinking and food preparing ( cooking/cleaning) water sources in our school buildings.

Testing has identified water sources in our district with lead concentration at or above the new five (5) parts per billion (ppb) (5 micrograms per liter) standard. The 5 ppb level now required by the state is below the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA"s) recommended action level of 15 ppb.
