in Drinking Water - FREE
Sampling and laboratory testing are the only way to determine if lead is present in a school or child care facility's drinking water.

This voluntary program offers free training and guidance on how to identify sources of lead in drinking water and how to reduce exposure to lead where children are cared for. To evaluate potential exposure and communicate your efforts, we offer sampling materials and laboratory testing, and help communicating your plans and results with your school or child care community.
