The State of Delaware is working with federal and local partners to ensure all Delaware children and school staff have safe and clean drinking water.
With the support of a grant from the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Delaware Department of Education (DOE) and the Delaware Division of Public Health (DPH) began a sampling initiative in Delaware schools in October 2020 to identify the levels of lead within the drinking water system.

There are two types of tests for the presence of elevated blood lead levels: Finger Sticks/Capillary Test (known as a lead screening) and Blood Tests (known as a Venous test).
While lead in water is concerning, an elevated blood lead level in a child may be from another exposure source, like dust, paint chips, or soil. Regardless of the source, if a screening/capillary test result is 3.5 µg/dL or higher, a confirmatory blood test will be required.
