Lewiston Superintendent addresses parent concerns about lead

SUN JOURNAL • February 17, 2022

In a letter to the school community Thursday, Superintendent Jake Langlais shared action items and addressed parent concerns in response to high lead levels identified in some school water sources last week. Just over a third of the 366 water sources tested from most of Lewiston’s schools showed lead concentration at or above the state’s recommended threshold. These sources were either shut off or labeled with a warning. Water bottles are available for students in the affected schools.
