Director of Support Services Rich Belloni shared information on the status of lead testing in LCSD. Every sink, drinking fountain and bubbler in every school has been tested, and any necessary remedies have been completed. “We are ready for school to start, and have placed student and staff safety at the forefront as we conducted tests and repairs,” said Mr. Belloni. The district has conducted over 1400 tests. Some locker rooms, science labs and wash sinks have been posted as non-potable water; all other fixtures are under the EPA action level. We encourage people to learn about lead in drinking water. The following website is a resource for this that provides information on the levels and health effects: https://www.epa.gov/ground-water-and-drinking-water/basic-information-about-lead-drinking-water. Information and test results are on file at the Lincoln County School District Facilities and Maintenance Department (541) 336-2058.
