In June, Governor Polis signed into law Colorado House Bill 22-1358: Clean Water in Schools and Child Care Centers. This bill requires all licensed child care programs and public schools to test their drinking water for lead and take action when results show levels of lead at or above 5 parts per billion (ppb). The goal of this law is to lower children’s exposure to lead. To meet these requirements, Weldon Valley School District RE 20J has tested for lead at all water fixtures used for drinking and cooking. Results: 0 Fixtures had lead results that tested at or above 5 ppb, no further action is required. If you would like more information about lead in your drinking water, please see the attached flyers.
