Missouri Senate Bill 681 & 662, "Drinking Water in Schools" established that schools must provide drinking water with a lead concentration below five parts per billion (ppb). Before January 1, 2024, every school must have a plan to test each water outlet used for drinking, cooking, or cleaning utensils. Testing is required before August 1, 2024, and if any fixture tests above 5 ppb, corrective action is required.
OCCU-TEC's Director of Environmental, Safety & Health Departments, Kevin Heriford, recently presented on this topic at the Missouri School Plant Managers Association's Day Conference. You can learn more about SB 681 & 662 and how to navigate its requirements by downloading the presentation slides.
