Lead detected in water at seven Washington County, VA schools; fixtures above 10 ppb turned off.

Lead has been detected in the water systems of Meadowview and Watauga Elementary schools in Washington County, Virginia, with fixtures above 10 parts per billion (ppb) turned off. This comes after five other schools previously reported lead issues, leading to the discontinuation of drinking fountains and provision of bottled water since November. The school system plans to test all remaining 11 schools and is collaborating with local authorities to ensure safety.
