Annual Drinking Water Test Information

We are pleased to announce that our annual drinking water tests revealed that our water is safe to drink.
Dear BBA Community: 

We are pleased to announce that our annual drinking water tests revealed that our water is safe to drink.

The State of Vermont passed a new law in 2019 that requires all schools and child care providers to test their drinking water for lead. Samples of water from every tap at BBA that is reasonably expected to be used for drinking or cooking were collected and sent to the Vermont Department of Health Laboratory for analysis.  
Results for Burr and Burton:
  • All the taps sampled had results BELOW the 4 part per billion (ppb) action level.
  • No further action is currently necessary. The drinking water can continue to be used.

For questions about the water testing process, or about the law and its requirements, please call the Lead in School and Child Care Drinking Water Program at 802-863-7220 or 800-439-8550 (toll-free in Vermont).

You can view school and child care results, remediation and any follow-up testing at leadresults.vermont.gov. (NOTE: If your child’s preschool or after school program is located at a school, the results will be listed under the school’s name.) For more information visit:
To learn more about lead hazards and lead poisoning prevention, visit healthvermont.gov/lead.

If you want to test your home drinking water for lead, find a list of certified drinking water labs at tinyurl.com/certified-lab.
