The data displayed reflect the results of water samples collected from public schools and licensed child care centers across the State of Tennessee. All laboratory analysis is performed in accordance with EPA Method 200.8 for lead in drinking water. The results represent lead concentrations in the specific water samples collected at a particular point in time.
Lead in drinking water originates from lead-containing plumbing materials. It is important to note that lead levels can fluctuate due to various factors including changes in water usage, stagnation time, plumbing modifications, and variations in the water supply.
Sample sites are selected based on observations of water fixtures used by students and staff for drinking or food preparation. However, they do not include every water outlet or scenario in the facility (e.g., non-potable locations or fixtures used exclusively for cleaning).
The Tennessee Lead Testing in Schools and Child Care Centers program is an ongoing effort to reduce lead in drinking water through testing, mitigation, and routine maintenance.
