Lead Testing

In order to remain in compliance with revisions made to the Public Health Law Section 1110, the District began in February 2025 to implement its lead testing in school drinking water procedures, which require sampling of all applicable outlets to be completed prior to December 31, 2025.

    Since the District’s last testing that was completed in 2020, the compliance monitoring has changed to every 3 years (previously every 5 years) and the action level for outlets was lowered to 5 parts per billion (previously 15 parts per billion).

Data for lead testing at all eight of our school buildings can be found in the link below. Click on link and select the tab at the bottom to select the building you are interested in.

Lead Testing in School Drinking Water - 2020 Compliance

In order to remain in compliance with regulation 10 NYCRR Subpart 67-4, the district began testing all water outlets in January of 2020 that could be utilized by students and staff for drinking or cooking.  Per the regulation, the allowable limit of lead concentration in water is 15 parts per billion (ppb).  Samples were drawn from all applicable outlets and sent to an independent third party laboratory for processing.  Any outlet that tested greater than 15 ppb was labeled and taken out of service for consumption until remediation and retesting could take place.

To date, all eight educational buildings and the Concession Stand have been tested.  The results of the district’s lead testing and remediation efforts that have been conducted so far are listed below.  Note:  although not required by law, outlets that tested at the allowable limit of 15 ppb received remediation as well.
