MRSD Standard of Practice The District is responsible for assuring regular testing of water quality, which includes testing for lead. In accordance with OAR 333-061-0400, OHA has set an action level of 15 or more parts per billion (PPB) for schools. If a Tap has 15 or more PPB of lead, the district will take action to reduce the level. These actions include: complete an appropriate permanent mitigation in accordance with EPA and test the Tap after mitigation is complete, demonstrating lead is less than 15 ppb before access to the Tap is resumed.
Testing has taken place at all of our schools; you can find the individual building test results below. Any Tap that has tested above 15 ppb have signage indicating they are not to be used for drinking water. Note: During the pandemic all drinking fountains in the district were deactivated and remain deactivated today.
We will continue to collaborate with water quality authorities to assure our practices meet or exceed minimum standards for monitoring contaminant levels.
Test results for schools with public water supplies will be published in school newsletters, at the District Office, and on our website, assuring parents of water quality and our ongoing commitment to safety as a first priority.
