Lead-testing results are in for Farnsworth Middle School, and there are 95 water outlets that must be remediated in some way, even simply by labeling them “for hand-washing only.” However, 7 of the 95 actionable sites are outlets that were used for drinking or cooking.

Guilderland school district reported test results showing water in all five elementary schools have lead levels in some outlets above the safety threshold.

Following up on earlier test results that found three sinks in the elementary school with lead contaminants over the state limit, Voorheesville school district has now uncovered 11 locations in its elementary school with lead levels above the limit.

Household water should be tested for lead. Even low levels can affect a child’s developing brain.
