Description
School boards; school buildings; potable water; lead testing. Requires each local school board's plan for testing potable water sources in school buildings to provide for such testing as often as is required of the supplying public water system by the Virginia Department of Health's Office of Drinking Water pursuant to regulations established in accordance with the federal Safe Drinking Water Act. The bill requires such plan and the results of each test conducted pursuant to such plan to be posted on the local school board's website and reported to the Virginia Department of Health. The bill provides that if the results of any test conducted in accordance with the plan indicate a level of lead in the potable water that is at or above 20 parts per billion, the school board shall develop, implement, post on its website, and report to the Virginia Department of Health a plan to remediate the level of lead in the potable water to below 20 parts per billion and confirm such remediation by retesting the water at two consecutive six-month intervals, consistent with the federal Safe Drinking Water Act.
