Requires institutions of higher education to test for lead in drinking water annually, report test results, and install lead filters or treatment devices.
This bill requires all New Jersey colleges and universities to test drinking water for lead annually using a state-certified laboratory. Institutions must report results to state education and environmental officials, post findings online, and notify students and staff. If lead levels exceed safe standards, schools must immediately close affected water outlets, provide alternative drinking water, and install certified lead-removing filters on every drinking water outlet in buildings containing lead pipes, solder, or fixtures.
