District water fountains provided water that met the allowable limit for lead in the water, but they did not meet the new allowable limit for copper in the water. As a result, Northern Health had the district discontinue use all fountains and sinks as sources of drinking water. The district has been providing bottled water.
The district has begun a process of running new water lines to fountains and staff sinks. Pineridge Elementary School was the first building to be re-piped, and Northern Health now permits the fountains and staff sinks in this building to be used.
The district is proceeding to re-pipe other buildings and will re-open fountains and staff sinks as this work is completed.
