All public, parochial, and private schools from pre-K through high school, and public and inhome child care facilities qualify. This free lead testing was first announced in August 2020.
NDEE has remaining funds available from Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA)Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation (WIIN) Act grants.
Sample kits are mailed to facilities and prepaid postage allows for the kits to be returned to the laboratory for free lead testing.
