Safe Drinking Water in U.S. schools is guaranteed. Right? After all, the government had great technology at its disposal.
These are government schools. The government frequently talks of the importance of guarding the health of school children.
Recently, soda dispensers have been removed from many schools. Dispensers of other junk food have been removed.

The health of the nation’s students has repeatedly been ranked as a high priority.
Safe Drinking Water should bubble out of every school fountain. Clean Drinking Water should flow from every faucet.
It might contain chlorine or fluoride, but it should be clean Drinking Water. Parents expect it. Students expect it. Teachers expect it.
Safe Drinking Water in schools should be a given. But it is not.
[B]Drinking Water Experiment
[/B]
A recent news report (June 2007) told of a middle school student’s Drinking Water experiment. I won’t give all of the detail, but here is the summary.
Students at a certain school in Oregon had been taking bottled water to class. Some were sneaking in alcohol, though, as bottled water, so the school banned all bottled water.
Soon after the ban, this student, age 13, decided to fulfill an assignment by testing the school Drinking Water supply.

He had a feeling that there was good reason for them to carry bottled water rather than rely on the water fountain.
The student swabbed the spigots of 4 school Drinking Water fountains with cotton swabs. He put the results in Petri dishes.
Next, he dipped one cotton swab in a school toilet. He dragged the swab around the rim of the toilet, just to be fair. He put those results in a 5th Petri dish.
Then he took the Petri dishes to the school lab. There, he put them under a light to speed up bacterial growth.
The result? The Petri dishes with Drinking Water samples swarmed with bacteria. The Petri dish with the toilet sample was clean!
The Oregon school had to admit that safe Drinking Water was not to be had in their school. Changes were ordered, and teachers began providing clean Drinking Water in classrooms. Bottled water was still banned.
[B]Drinking Water Bacteria
[/B]
Drinking Water bacteria are never totally eradicated, but there should be higher standards. Girls and boys in public schools should have safe Drinking Water.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states that it is reasonable to expect that our Drinking Water, including bottled water,
will contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. Then the EPA sets standards for about 90 contaminants in Drinking Water.
That is, it allows certain amounts of 90 different contaminants to remain in Drinking Water.
Safe Drinking Water for schools? In many cases, it is not. The wise parent will want to get information on how clean Drinking Water fountains and other dispensers are in the local school.
