NOTICE OF LEAD IN DRINKING WATER TEST RESULTS

LMSS is required to test for lead in the drinking water every five years. LMSS tested 19 taps that could be used for cooking or drinking in the spring of 2024. All 19 samples resulted in less than 1.00 ppb (essentially meaning lead was not detected). No additional steps are required at this time. The LMSS Lead in Drinking Water Plan and results can be found on the website: https://lacrescentmontessori.com/about-us/school-board-documents/#reports
