Coalition urges state leaders to address lead in school drinking water
Environment Washington and coalition of organizations is calling on state budget leaders to include a state budget provision that would direct the WA State Department of Health (DOH) to develop guidance and recommendations for schools to take action to reduce lead when test results exceed the maximum level recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and recommendations for communicating test results to parents and the community, including that there is no safe level of lead in water, as the science makes clear.
