As of January 1, 2017 the State of Illinois requires that all public and private schools with students enrolled in grades preschool through fifth grade sample all sources of drinking water for lead and post the results by December 2017. All schools constructed before 1987 are required to be tested this year, buildings built between 1987 and 2000 must be tested in 2018. Calumet School District 132 believes all of its students deserve a healthy learning environment and made a decision to test all three district schools this year.
Testing was completed on October 14, 2017. All 80 potable fixtures throughout the district tested below 5ppb (parts per billion), which is the state standard for allowable levels. The current tests confirm that all of our schools have clean, safe drinking water.
You may contact the District Office for more details.
