MELC Lead

MCMILLAN EARLY LEARNING CENTER LEAD TESTING

Lead tests were recently conducted at McMillan Early Learning Center (MELC) in 73 locations, including the hallway and classroom drinking fountains, bathroom sinks, and kitchen faucets. Results revealed a majority of outlets showed a trace of lead less than 1.0 ppb. Two of those locations exceeded the 5 ppb limit and were immediately rectified. The two locations had levels of 17 ppb and 6.8 ppb.

--Room 93: One of the tests was completed on a faucet that showed a reading of 6.8 ppb. Within 24 hours, this was remediated with a new faucet. 
--Room 120: Two draws were taken simultaneously from the sink in this classroom. The first draw read 17 ppb, and the second was <1.0 ppb. Within 24 hours, this was remediated with a new faucet.
