Our local school district's most recent water testing seems to have just been for lead. It resulted in a 229 page document outlining how, when, and where they tested every single tap in all the schools and what the results were. I've not seen mention of PFAS testing in our schools, which is where I'd expect to see it first.

- bradfa 5y agoThanks! This is good news! It seems it just started at the end of last year, and my local watery authority is already publishing results on it: https://mcwa-wordpress-media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2020-Detected-Substances.pdf https://mcwa-wordpress-media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/upl...
- dashundchen 5y agoThanks. I had copied the link from google on mobile, and tried to remove all the tracking referrers but missed some.
- CorrectHorseBat 5y agoMaybe it depends on how they expect the contamination to get in? Lead usually gets in through the local pipes, so it makes sense to test it at the taps. For contaminations that get in from the water intake at the plant it does make more sense to test them there.
