Nearly three dozen water sources in seven township schools contain levels of lead higher than is considered safe by federal standards.

The levels of lead found in the water ranged from 15.6 parts per billion (ppb) to 1,720 ppb. Federal guidelines recommend that lead levels in water in excess of 15 ppb be remediated because of health concerns.
