Test water in schools for traces of lead more quickly

Created by B... on May 30, 2016

There are many schools in the country that have aging water pipes. Children drinking from the fountains may be drinking water that has traces of lead and is posing a threat to their health. We can't just wait over a year or more to test water in schools. We need to figure it out now and replace the aging pipes. We can't sit and look at these children possibly suffering from sickness caused by lead water. It is unacceptable that schools have all this money to buy things they don't need but not fix what's important. Please push for testing water in all schools in the country.
