School Drinking Water Act

In order to be compliant with the Missouri law known as the "Get the Lead out of School Drinking Water Act," the Houston District will conduct sampling and testing of all potential drinking water sources in the school.  The results of the water testing, including any corrective actions and retesting needed, will be posted on the "School Drinking Water Act" page our school website (www.houston.k12.mo.us) and placed in the districtwide and community newsletter, Tiger Times.  The results are typically available 7-14 days after the water samples have been submitted to the lab.
