Legislation to address the threat of high levels of lead in the drinking water of Pennsylvania’s schools was introduced Wednesday in Harrisburg. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Karen Boback (R-Lackawanna/Luzerne/Wyoming), would establish a regular testing regimen for all water used for drinking and cooking in schools, require test results be disclosed to parents, and set a statewide standard for lead levels in school water that is the same as that used for bottled water.
