Testing Requirements

RCW 28A.210.410 and RCW 43.70.830 require all drinking water outlets in public schools built, or with all plumbing replaced, before 2016 be tested for lead at least once between July 1, 2014, and June 30, 2026. Retesting shall occur at least once every five years thereafter. Drinking water sampling and testing must be done in partnership with DOH or contracted through an accredited lab.

Action Plan Requirements

If test results reveal elevated lead levels above 5 parts per billion (ppb) at any outlet used for drinking or cooking, an action plan must be developed. If your school has an existing action plan, you have the option of updating the existing plan to meet the following requirements instead of creating a new one. 

Per RCW 28A.210.410, a school’s action plan must meet the following requirements:

  • The action plan shall be developed in consultation with DOH or your local health jurisdiction and in accordance with DOH’s technical guidance. 

  • Consult with the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) when seeking funding for remediation activities. The OSPI Lead in Water Remediation Grant is a potential source of funding.

  • For testing that occurred after July 25, 2021, the deadline for adopting the action plan is six months after receiving elevated lead test results.

The action plan must include:

  1. Mitigation measures implemented since receiving elevated lead test results.
  2. A schedule of remediation activities that adhere to the technical guidance. The schedule may be based on the availability of state or federal funding for remediation activities.
  3. A plan for post-remediation sampling and testing to confirm remediation activities have reduced lead concentrations at drinking water outlets to 5 or fewer ppb.
