Utah’s Lead-Free Learning Initiative

We have funding to help schools and childcare facilities

We can help fund lead testing for your facility’s drinking water, and fix any issues that are found.

The drinking water in many Utah schools and childcare centers may be contaminated with lead, a toxin that causes serious, lifelong damage to children. The Division of Drinking Water is partnering with schools and childcare centers to test every tap and work towards our shared goal of lead-free learning.
