California Assembly Bill 746 (AB 746) was approved by the Governor and published on October 13, 2017. The bill requires all community water systems that serve a school site of a local educational agency with a building construction before January 1, 2010 to test for lead in the potable water system of the school site on or before July 1, 2019. Health Safety Code 116277 was also developed and added under AB 746 to provide guidelines and requirements for K-12 schools.

On November 22, 2017 the District responded quickly to the requirement and hired a third party company to perform sampling at all 11 of our sites. Nine of the 11 schools were non-detect for the presence of lead and two had one fountain each with detectable levels under the 15 ppb threshold. Even though the two fountains were well under the threshold, they have since then been replaced.

All sampling methods followed the requirements in Appendix A and were submitted to a State of California Department of Health Services accredited laboratory where they tested using approved Environmental Protection Agency methods.
