Myles Elementary Lead Test Results

Explanation of Results

May 24, 2021

Dear Parents, Guardians and Staff:

On September 6, 2016, Governor Cuomo signed legislation to test drinking water in New York State Schools for lead contamination. The new legislation requires all schools be tested every five years. The second round of testing by the district is due by June 30, 2021.

In compliance with the mandate, the district again collaborated with Oneida-Herkimer-Madison BOCES Safety Office to coordinate the lead testing service. The testing was conducted by Pace Analytical a fully accredited lead sampling lab.

The findings showed that nine(9) of the ninety-one {91) fixtures identified during the test had exceedances that were above the 15 ppb action level. Two (2) of the nine (9) fixtures were identified during the 2016 testing and remediated by shutting off or posting caution signs stating “Do Not Drink”. All in-service drinking fountains tested at safe levels.

Below is a list of all locations at Myles Elementary School that were over the allowable limit:

• RM 147 CLASSROOM 2 SINK OUTLETS ONE BASIN ME21 AND ME22
  Posted sign reading: “Caution Non-Potable Water, Do Not Drink”
• RM 151 CUSTODIAL SINK ME25
  Posted sign reading: “Caution Non-Potable Water, Do Not Drink”
• RM 001 BOILER ROOM SINK ME71
  Posted sign reading: “Caution Non-Potable Water, Do Not Drink”
• RM 114A GIRL’S COACH BATHROOM ME75

• RM 112 BOY’S LOCKER ROOM 2 SINKS ME78 AND ME79
  Posted sign reading: “Caution Non-Potable Water, Do Not Drink”
• RM 112 BOY’S LOCKER ROOM FOUNTAIN ME80
  Fountain was physically shut off.
• RM 121 CLASSROOM SINK ME86
  Posted sign reading: “Caution Non-Potable Water, Do Not Drink”

As part of the District’s remediation plan from previous and current testing, all drinking fixtures that tested above the action level were shut off. Also, signs were posted prohibiting the drinking of water at all other faucets/fixtures that were impacted by an elevated lead level. In addition, the District has added nineteen (19) filtered water bottle filling stations this year bringing us to a total of twenty-three (23) stations District wide.

Lead testing results will be posted on our website www.newhartfordschools.org by June 1, 2021. If you have any questions related to our lead testing results, please contact me at (315) 624-1233.

Sincerely,
