TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) â One water fountain at Cascades Park is out of service after a group found above-average levels of lead.
Kim Watts and another fellow with the organization Get the Lead Out tested several fountains at Cascades Park weeks ago. We came out, tested the water, sent it to a university in Virginia. In just a few weeks they sent us the results back, said Kim Watts.
Tallahassee s Cascades Park
Both the students and city underground utilities determined just a single park fountain was in excess of EPA guidelines.
Elevated lead levels in a Cascades Park drinking fountain has brought a quick response from the City. Tom Flanigan reports the alarm came from two Florida State University environmental science students.
Linda Beauport said she and Kim Watts checked all the park s drinking fountains for elevated lead in the water. It was the fountain closest to Lafayette Street we found some elevated levels there that exceeded the EPA s actionable levels. We found it really interesting because there s not a lot of regulations on park water fountains.
