This Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Voluntary School and Child Care Lead Testing and Reduction Grant Program (CFDA 66.444) provides $835,000.00 to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) to implement a program of voluntary testing for lead in drinking water at local schools and child care centers in Colorado. The key activities include communicating the importance of lead testing, providing training, conducting lead testing using appropriate sampling protocols, remediating any fixtures with lead levels above 5 parts per billion, and tracking various metrics such as the number of facilities tested and remediated. The expected outcomes include reducing children's exposure to lead in drinking water, improving staff and community knowledge on lead risks, and remediating lead in family child care homes across Colorado. The award period runs from October 1, 2024 to December 30, 2026.
