ROCHESTER, Minn. - Members of the Rochester Public School Board were briefed on results from recent tests measuring the amount of lead in the water at district schools.
More than 260 samples were collected from five school buildings earlier this year, all coming from potable water sources like drinking fountains and sinks. Results from 22 of the samples showed concentrations above the district's allowable lead level of 15 parts per billion.
