Case Study / Chicago, IL. USA
Crete Monee School District
Voluntary testing by the Crete Monee School District revealed drinking water lead levels up to 90 times higher than the EPA’s limit, forcing a full drinking fountain shut down.
Voluntary testing by the Crete Monee School District revealed drinking water lead levels up to 90 times higher than the EPA’s limit, forcing a full drinking fountain shut down.
Elevated lead levels in nearby University Park spurred testing and confirmed the District’s worst fears; drinking water availability was suspended to avoid further exposure.
Lead poisoning’s effects are especially severe in children under 18. Schools face major liability if their drinking water has unsafe lead levels which are not remediated.
School District officials approved a complete fountain/fixture replacement plan, but found it wasn’t enough. Then they found Noah.
Through research they learned fixture replacement alone couldn’t fully fix this serious threat to both the students and the District. But teaming Noah with new fixtures could.
Overnight, Noah validated their research by dramatically reducing lead levels for good.
