Ensuring safe drinking water in educational facilities is critical to student health and regulatory compliance. Lead and copper can leach into drinking water from plumbing materials, particularly in older buildings. Our accredited laboratory provides comprehensive sampling and testing services for schools across New York and New Jersey, helping you meet state-specific requirements with confidence.

Lead exposure, even at low levels, can impair children’s development, behavior, and learning.
Copper, while essential in small amounts, can cause health issues when consumed in excess.
Children are especially at risk due to their developing systems. Schools must take proactive steps to monitor water quality and address contamination risks.
Visit our schools & daycares page to learn how we help protect young students through targeted lead and copper testing.
We maintain the highest standards in environmental compliance and sustainability. Our certifications demonstrate our commitment to responsible practices and regulatory excellence.

Immediate action is required for results ≥ 15.5 ppb (µg/L) for lead.
Testing required every 5 years under NY Public Health Law §1110.
Applies to all public schools and BOCES, and certain nonpublic schools.
Must test all potable water outlets used for drinking or cooking.
Action level for lead is 5 ppb (µg/L) — more stringent than EPA and NJ.
Follow-up actions include shutting off outlets, public notification, and remediation.

Samples must be collected in certified bottles and tested at a state-accredited laboratory using EPA Method 200.8 or other approved methods.
Schools must:
Yes. A plumbing profile helps identify potential lead sources (e.g., lead pipes, solder, or brass fixtures), prioritize testing locations, and guide remediation.
Yes, as long as water has remained undisturbed for 8–48 hours. Early mornings, weekends, or breaks are commonly used for proper stagnation.
