FREE Lead Testing for Schools & Child Care Providers

The Utah Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is encouraging schools and childcare facilities to apply for funds to test for lead in their drinking water after the agency received a $982,000 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) grant to cover the cost of testing. DEQ will pay lab costs on behalf of the facility, so no reimbursement is needed.

Interested facilities please see Utah’s Lead-Free Learning Testing Initiative.
