Schumer today announced new legislation that would help daycare centers and schools across New York State test their drinking water for potential lead contamination. Schumer’s bill would establish a new federal grant program for daycare centers and schools that choose to test for lead. Schumer pointed to the recently revealed high levels of lead found in more than 60 samples taken at two Ithaca schools, as evidence that lead is a significant problem in New York. Schumer explained that toxic lead-based pipes were not banned until 1986 and, as a result, any building whose water is supplied by pipes made before that time could contain lead. Schumer said our first priority should be keeping New York State children’s drinking water safe.</p>"}}
