LEAD TESTING FOR DAY CARE FACILITIES

In January 2018, The City of Philadelphia approved a new law (Section A-703) requiring that each day care facility in Philadelphia test all potable water outlets for lead and submit results to the Department of Public Health according to the following guidelines:

  • Required for any day care facility caring for 13 or more children

  • Perform testing every 5 years (beginning April 2018)

  • Reporting the results to the Public Health Department

Upon completion of the testing, we will issue you an EPA report confirming that there is no presence of lead in your property (as any presence of lead is dangerous) including the following:

  • Date of sampling

  • Name of EPA laboratory performing the testing

  • Lead results from each potable (drinking) water tap
