Water Quality Testing at Schools

Recent events in the United States have shown that lead in drinking water remains an on-going public health concern, particularly for children. State Assembly Bill AB746, passed on and signed by the Governor on October 13, 2007, requires public K-12 schools to test all facilities located on public school properties before July 1, 2019. In compliance with water quality testing requirements to ensure drinking water is safe from lead, Laguna Beach Unified School District completed testing requirements for all school sites. Refer to the Drinking Water Quality Assessment Report dated September 29, 2016 for reporting information.
