Yes! We recently (as of October 2025) participated in a voluntary State program to test our child care facility’s drinking water for lead. This program was offered to all Virginia public schools and child care facilities and specifically tests water fixtures that provide drinking or cooking water to children. In our child care facility, a total of 8 fixtures were tested. 100% of those fixtures did not present lead levels that exceed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s action level of 15 parts per billion (ppb).
