Water Safety in Our Schools
January 27, 2017 - Results from all 2,459 original water draws taken from outlets across the Williamsville Central School District have been received and are available on the district's water testing webpage. The district continues to wait for test results on a number of the water outlets that were remediated or replaced after initial tests showed they exceeded the state's allowable lead concentration levels.
The majority of the water outlets that tested above the 15ppb threshold are located in non-student areas such as outdoor faucets and custodial faucets/sinks, or were already designated as non-drinking outlets such as science and technology lab faucets/sinks.
Additional information on water testing for lead may be found at the New York State Department of Education Facility Planning website, www.p12.nysed.gov/facplan/.
