Lead in School and Child Care Drinking Water

Act 66, passed in 2019, requires all Vermont school districts, supervisory unions, independent schools, and child care providers to test their drinking and cooking water for lead. If lead is found at or above the action level of 4 parts per billion (ppb), the school or child care provider must immediately take the tap out of service and take corrective action to eliminate or reduce the amount of lead to below the action level.

Cyanotoxin Monitoring Program

The summer of 2024 marks the tenth year of DWGPD's voluntary cyanotoxin monitoring program for public drinking water systems. This program offers no-cost analysis of raw and finished water for microcystin (a potent liver toxin produced by some species of cyanobacteria) to surface water systems across the state.  Samples are analyzed on a weekly basis from July to early November by the Vermont Agriculture and Environmental Laboratory (VAEL).
