Lead Test Results

All Jeffco Public Schools (not including charter schools*) were tested for lead content in drinking water June-October, 2016. Here is a summary of the results to date. If any results above the EPA recommended levels were found, the water source underwent mitigation. Retests on water sources that had elevated lead results were conducted by December 2016. Below are the initial and follow-up results. Any fixtures that are listed in the test results as "Repairs Pending" have signs on them at the school that say "Do Not Drink," Hand Washing and Science Use Only," or have been shut off.

A five-year rotation of lead testing will begin next school year. Every school will have drinking water sources tested sometime in the next five years and then every five years afterwards. In addition, the Jeffco Environmental Services Department provides treated water for the following Jeffco locations: Coal Creek Elementary School, Confier High School, Elk Creek Elementary School, Marshdale Elementary School, West Jefferson Elementary School, West Jefferson Middle School, Windy Peak Outdoor Lab, Mt. Evans Outdoor Lab, and the West Transportation Center. Throughout the year, comprehensive sampling (though not testing of every location) and monitoring of these sites occur to ensure compliance with all state and federal regulations. Read more

*Please note that charter schools handle their own facilities and will need to be contacted directly about this issue.
