Von Steuben High School

Where it all began. Von Steuben’s drinking water was found to have unsafe lead levels, with individual outlets in some schools equaling levels found in Flint, MI. Given the global uproar, school officials knew they must act swiftly to remediate.

Challenge

Faced with unsafe lead levels on the heels of Flint’s crisis, Von Steuben turned to Chief Engineer Michael Ramos to fix the problem.

With research, Ramos found there was no affordable, practical and effective solution on the market. His team was initially charged with performing ongoing manual flushing, which in practice proved unsustainable.

Solution

If necessity is the mother of invention, Ramos was, in this case, its father. He created a new and revolutionary way to get lead out drinking water that changed everything.

Seeing manual flushing’s impracticality firsthand, he devised a tool to automate the process in his basement workshop. He installed it after school hours, and what he found the next morning was unprecedented.

Results

Literally overnight, the device took lead from unlawful to undetectable levels... and a legend was born.
