January 2019 Update:
After replacing all fixtures with a test result of 10 ppb or more, we requested that the Washington State Department of Health re-test each of these fixtures. On December 18, 2018, all fixtures that had previously tested with a ppb of 10 or more, were retested. Each of the fixtures was found to have 1 ppb or less, which is within a healthy range!
Full re-test results can be found below.
Thank you to our fantastic facilities department for their speedy work to replace fixtures! Student health and safety is of the highest priority to us!

Dear Pullman Public Schools Community:
In 2017, the Legislature directed the Washington State Department of Health to test for lead in drinking water in public schools in an effort to reduce children's overall exposure to lead in the environment. As part of our commitment to ensuring the health of our students and staff is protected, we recently participated in this program.
