Lead in Water

Lead-in-Water Annual Notification

Independent School District #318 is committed to providing a safe working and learning environment for employees and students.  The District maintains a lead-in-water management plan that was developed to reduce the potential for exposure to lead in water and to comply with Minnesota State Statute 121A.335.

Minnesota State Statute 121A.335 requires public school buildings serving pre-kindergarten and kindergarten through grade 12 to establish a plan to accurately and efficiently test for lead in potable water sources every five years.  In addition to testing, the District has also implemented water management practices as well.

Our water testing is completed by a third party vendor, utilizing an accredited laboratory and was last completed in 2023, therefore, testing is required again in 2028.

Please find a link to our lead-in-water management plan below.
