Ossining School District to Test Drinking Water for Lead
The testing will be done May 14 and 15.
The Ossining School District has hired Quality Environmental Solutions and Technologies Inc. to test drinking water in schools for lead May 14 and 15.
The company will test the water fountains, classroom sinks, kitchens, faculty rooms and various offices. After the samples are collected, the school district will provide a report with the results.
The water testing is not required, but the district wants to ensure that the water is safe for students and staff members to drink.
