Lead testing on tap at schools
Water at some schools and child care facilities across Hawaii will be tested for lead as part of a joint project between the state Departments of Education, Health and Human Services.
According to a Friday news release from the state, the project, part of a nationwide program established under the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act of 2017, will begin in February and continue throughout the year.
Hawaii’s project will be paid for by a $222,000 grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the news release said. The state will contribute an additional $696,000 from the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund.
