Lead Testing
2024-11 Intention to Test Letter to Families and Staff
By law, all Vermont schools and child care providers are required to test for lead in drinking water and fix any issues when lead is found above an established action level. The intent of the law is to protect children, students, and staff from lead in these settings.
The health and safety of the children in our care and of our employees is our priority, and we are working quickly to check our system for lead. This is a regularly scheduled testing that is required by the state to preemptively ensure our water is safe.
The drinking water at The Family Place will be tested for lead in the next few weeks. We will collect water samples from all taps that are used for drinking and cooking and send the samples to a certified drinking water lab for analysis.
