Ray-Pec School District Tests All Water Outlets
In 2022, the Missouri legislature passed the "Get the Lead Out of School Drinking Water Act."
The act requires schools to test for lead in all potable water distribution sources districtwide.
When an elevated level of lead is detected in any water sample, the district must develop and implement a mitigation plan. This includes removing and replacing fixtures, and re-testing the sources.
All Ray-Pec drinking fountains, water bottle filling stations, and sinks used in cooking stations were tested, and the results fell within the state requirement.
Any other fixture with an elevated lead level is unavailable for use as drinking water or food preparation until it is repaired and replaced and passes the testing.
The deadline under the law is Aug. 1, 2024, but in the Ray-Pec School District, the inventory and testing of water sources has been completed and follow up tests are underway.
