Lead Testing of Drinking Water Info
On October 13, 2017, California Governor Jerry Brown signed into law AB 746 requiring community water systems that serve certain school sites to conduct lead testing in potable water systems before July 1, 2019. In response to this legislation, the Fremont Unified School District (FUSD) has worked with the Alameda County Water District (ACWD) to conduct testing on all FUSD campuses.
The California Water Boards have made information available to the public regarding lead testing in schools. Click here to read more from waterboards.ca.gov.
