Test Lead in Public Schools' Drinking Water
Yes is the pro-environment vote.
Description:
This bill provides funding to test for lead in schools’ drinking water, thereby better protecting our children’s health. Lead can leach into drinking water from old pipes and fixtures, and in the Colorado school districts that have already tested for lead, more than 100 schools found water sources with elevated levels of it. There is no safe level of lead exposure, and it can be especially damaging to young children. Providing schools the funding to proactively test for lead is critical to safeguard our children’s health and protect our drinking water.
