NHDES Get the Lead Out Program - Keene School District

Under New Hampshire’s Get The Lead Out of Drinking Water program, all K-12 schools and licensed child care facilities must test all drinking water outlets available for consumption by children, including drinking fountains, classroom sinks and kitchen sinks. A revision to the state law in July 2022 lowered the action level for this program from 15 parts per billion (ppb) to 5 ppb, and changed the timing of the testing such that three rounds must be completed by June 30, 2024.
