http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-sd-water-lead-20170324-story.htmlA dogs reluctance to drink from a bowl in a San Diego classroom led to the discovery of lead in the schools water system, and testing of all pipes in the San Diego Unified School District will begin soon.
According to a notice sent Friday to parents and staff members at Emerson-Bandini Elementary and San Diego Co-Operative Charter School 2, which share a single campus, a teacher at the charter school noticed her therapy dog would not drink from a bowl filled with water from the classroom sink on Jan. 26.
The teacher then saw a sheen on the water, which led to the district sampling numerous water outlets on the campus. After detecting contaminants that exceeded the states allowable level, the district contacted its water provider, the city of San Diego, which has agreed to test all district properties, including its 187 campuses, at no cost.
