School districts are required to test lead content in drinking water in their facilities to ensure the water quality meets established health guidelines. Please complete the 2025-26 Testing Lead Content in Drinking Water of School Facilities Report (in the Publications and Resources section) then submit your report to the Education and Child Care Capital Branch by February 28, 2026. Policy and sampling information is available on the Testing Lead Content in Drinking Water of School Facilities web page and the new Drinking Water Officers’ Guide provided by Ministry of Health.
