DETROIT – The Detroit Public Schools Community District's latest round of testing has revealed that 33 more schools have elevated levels of copper, lead or both, officials said. There were 52 schools included in this round of testing.
Out of 86 DPSCD schools that have been tested, a total of 57 were found to have elevated levels or copper, lead or both, according to school officials.
The testing evaluated all water sources from sinks to drinking fountains. When the first round of tests showed 16 of 24 schools had elevated copper or lead levels, school officials turned off all drinking water and provided bottled water and water coolers.
Results from the second round of tests were released Wednesday.
DPSCD is still awaiting test results from 17 schools and the original 10 Di-Hydro schools.
Officials said the schools will continue to use water coolers districtwide.
District officials are recommending the use of hydration stations to the school board. They would be installed in all schools by the beginning of next school year and replace the need for water coolers, officials said.
A hydration station would be placed in a school for every 100 students, as well as one in the kitchen, faculty lounge and gym.
