Lead Found In 10 Percent Of SUNY Purchase Water Access Points

HARRISON, NY — Lead has been found in 10 percent of SUNY Purchase’s water access point on campus. Facilities Director Mike Kopas said the college has installed filters on all the contaminated sinks and replaced all water fountains with filtered hydration stations.

The school started voluntarily testing its water for lead during the spring semester, lohud.com said. (For more information on this and other neighborhood stories, subscribe to Patch to receive daily newsletters and breaking news alerts.)
