A Viewer Writes........4-2-19


These signs are popping up in schools. However they are NOT posted over water fountains or in the home economics classrooms where they cook. Wonder if they are posted in the kitchen area of the school cafeterias??? Isn't it all from the same source?

Are they talking about lead contamination or bacterial?

Most of the lead contamination comes from pipes and fixtures within the schools. The BOE is trying to pass the buck because they are too incompetent to do the test AT THEIR FIXTURES. Maybe they just need more money.

AND JUST TO BE CLEAR, this all comes FROM CORRODED PIPES!!!!!!

No. Because those are approved for drinking. There is nothing wrong with the water at the schools. This is just a stupid government ordinance that they are being forced to follow.

9:49 is correct. All this lead nonsense is BS. It's useless parents who couldn't be bother raising their children the right way so have to blame their bad behavior on something. I remember in Baltimore City years ago the ghetto dwellers were on a roll. They hit the ghetto lottery with 200,000 dollar pay outs. They would brag about little Jamal "having lead." The neighborhood stores even started to sell lead fishing weights and the ghetto dwellers would buy them for inflated prices like 10 dollars (cost $1 in tackle shops) and get their kids to suck on them right before they were to be tested for lead.

It comes from lead solder in copper pipes. Sometimes in the water connections from the utility water supply, and sometimes from interior water fountains. All would be at the expense to the BOE and the tax-payers. Individual water fountains may help. That is if the "students" don't destroy them.
