Lead Testing in School Drinking Water Buildings with Lead-Free Plumbing: Compliance Year 2016

List of buildings for each NYS public school and Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) reported as being lead-free for Compliance Year 2016. Schools are not required to test lead-free buildings for lead in drinking water. The definition of a lead-free building is any school building with internal plumbing that meets the new definition of "Lead Free," as defined in section 1417 of the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act. A building can be deemed lead-free if (1) it was built after January 4, 2014, or (2) a NYS licensed professional engineer or architect certifies the building's internal plumping is lead-free. School districts and BOCES are required to report the presence of lead-free buildings for each compliance year to parents, the NYS Department of Health, NY State Education Department, and local health departments.
