DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Des Moines Public Schools officials say the district is testing school drinking water for lead.
Officials announced Tuesday that they are testing the water in all of the district’s school buildings, citing recent national attention to elevated lead levels in water. Test results are expected later in April and will be available on the school district’s website.
If increased lead levels are found, officials say they will take the necessary steps to reduce the contamination.
