Overview
In light of national events that have brought increased attention to the issue of water quality, the City of Chicago announced several additional precautionary measures that will be added to the City's water testing protocol, continuing the City's track record of exceeding current state and federal regulations as well as industry standards.
As part of this announcement, Chicago Public Schools (CPS) began testing water in our schools to ensure the health and safety of our students and staff. While all schools will be tested, the testing schedule was developed based on criteria that includes the age of the school, age of the students (with priority given to schools with pre-K programs), presence of a kitchen (where meals are prepared), and presence of pipes that could need repairs or replacement.
Results of lead tests will be routinely posted on this page.
