Eight additional Jeffco schools have lead High levels seen at Kyffin, Pleasant View elementaries Staff report The majority of Jefferson County Schools’ water faucets and sinks show lead levels below the EPA-recommended levels. But in many schools, the district is finding several water sources that go above, sometimes well above, the EPA’s 15 parts per billion warning level. As of July 11, the district reported

finding elevated levels of lead at Dutch, Leawood, Kyffin, Parmalee, Patterson, Peck, Peiffer and Pleasant View elementaries. Those schools join a list of 14 other elementary schools where the district had previously found elevated levels of lead: Green Mountain, Kendrick Lakes, Ralston, Westgate, Bergen Meadow, Bradford, Deane, Eiber, Slater, Stony Creek, Edgewater, Ute Meadows and Foster. Tests at Normandy Elementary and the preschool cottages at Patterson Elementary tested below the EPA thresh-

old.They join the smaller list of schools with non-elevated lead levels: Pennington, Coronado, Hutchinson and Miller elementary schools. Each school was tested at numerous water sources. Certain schools, notably Patterson and Peck elementary schools, excluding the preschools, had multiple locations test high for lead. At Peck, 10 sources came back high, including a sink in the teachers’ lounge, three sinks in the kitchen and six classroom sinks, some of which had bubbler drinking attachments.
