Required notice of lead testing

New York State Public Health Law and Regulations require school districts to test lead in water outlets that are used or have the potential to be used for drinking or cooking. Central Valley CSD made an initial draw on September, 10, 2026 to test lead levels; the draw contained 569 outlets.

School districts are required to report the results of water testing to  the Department of Health. Additionally, outlets tested  that result in lead levels exceeding a threshold of 5 parts per billion (ppb) must be addressed by a remedial action plan. A remedial action plan may be one or more of the following: 

• Taking the outlet out of service
• Replacing the outlet
• Posting an age-appropriate sign
• Installing lead reducing filters
• An awareness campaign for students and building occupants is also encouraged

The district outlets tested and lead level results greater than the 5 ppb threshold are highlighted on the attached files. As a reminder, outlets beyond 5 ppb are deemed to be safe for washing.

Also in accordance with regulations, we post the actual reports from the testing company and spreadsheets listing each outlet by building on our Facilities page.

If you have questions about the testing for Central Valley CSD, please contact Gordon Miller, Facilities Director, at 315-894-9934 or by email gmiller@cvalleycsd.org.
