District Water Testing Results 2016
Water Testing at Princeton Public Schools for 2016 was done by New Jersey Analytical Laboratories (NJAL). Here is a summary of the results:
These samples are "first draw" samples, which means the water has been immobile for at least six hours in the plumbing.
1st draw Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs):
Lead = 15 ug/L
Copper = 1300//L
Littlebrook School: 10 samples - no failures
Riverside School: 10 samples - no failures
Community Park School: 10 samples - no failures
John Witherspoon Middle School: 20 samples - no failures
Princeton High School: 25 samples - no failures
Johnson Park School: 10 samples - three (3) failures
Pavilion Fountain Tap, copper @ 1,520 ug/L
Staff Lounge Tap, copper @ 1,770 ug/L and lead @ 16.6 ug/L
These failures may be due to a number of situations. Corrosion of plumbing and fixtures are the main culprits. Most times the problems can be rectified by replacing the faucets at the problem location.
