Today (8/6) marks the 22nd anniv. of the 1996 SDWA Amendments. So while the water nerds go "WooHoo", we also need to think & talk about what's worked well & what could use some refinement...

Through a partnership with @Elkay_USA we recently installed 5 new bottle filling stations throughout the Zoo. We're thrilled to report that we have been able to divert 20,909 bottles from landfills since their installation in May! #Sustainability #Conservation

Did you read that article we posted earlier about flushing? Flushing is an unreliable method used by many to remediate lead. Check out our article to find out what other types of remediation options there are to help get the lead out of drinking water: buff.ly/2mEDbne

No child should be put at risk for toxic lead exposure simply by drinking water at school. To address the GAO findings, the Admin should finalize a stronger Lead & Copper Rule and issue protective guidance requiring lead testing for all public schools. bit.ly/2uzGOiE

“There is and will always be a trust issue about the water here in Flint. Even if they say that they fixed the water, you will never know if they are lying or not.” buff.ly/2yo7Az4 No person should ever be skeptical of their water. Let's fix this epidemic.

My classroom's (of 18yrs) drinking water tested 87% higher than EPA limit & the District tired to conceal it from me. Sadly that's how I became more aware of lead & the serious, extreme complications that result from it. I thought the water in schools had already been tested.
