NCS Communicates Water Testing Results

Dear Members of the Naples School Community:

During the 2015/2016 school year, I shared with you that the District had asked Leader Professional Services, Inc. (“Leader”) to sample and test for lead in our water sources. On May 14 and 18, 2016, Leader collected 241 samples from the Elementary School and the High School that were evaluated following the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) testing protocol outlined in, “3Ts for Reducing Lead in Drinking Water in Schools.”

This past spring, Leader shared with us the results from its water testing. In our Elementary School, one non-drinking water source in our boiler room tested above the EPA action level of 15 ppb (ug/l). This area is not accessible to students, and Leader indicated that the lead found in the water sample most likely resulted from the fixture.

In our High School, six non-drinking water sources in three science classrooms tested above the EPA action level of 15 ppb (ug/l)—Room 100, Room 226, and Room 227. Although the sources are not used for consumption, we will be following Leader’s recommendations for addressing the issues.

We are always focused on the health and safety of our students and staff, and we will continue to be vigilant with our testing for environmental concerns. If I can help to answer any questions that you might have, please do not hesitate to send me an email (mfrahm@naplescsd.org) or call my office directly (585-374-7901).

Sincerely,

Matt Frahm, Superintendent
