Another Hudson Valley school district has discovered lead in their water prompting supplies to be shut off and water filters to be installed.

In a letter to parents the Superintendent of Schools for the Middletown City School District revealed the results of a recent water systems test. Prompted by concerns after recent news reports of lead in drinking water across the country, the school district voluntarily conducted the test of all of its buildings.

Although exact numbers and lead levels were not revealed, the letter said that they asked for their test to be stricter than that of the EPA. According to experts there are no lead levels that are considered "safe" in children.

The results found lead in the water sources of seven schools; Middletown High School, Twin Towers Middle School, Menhaden Middle School, Maple Hill Elementary, William A. Carter Elementary, Presidential Park Elementary and Truman Moon Elementary.

A full listing of the exact fixtures where lead was found is listed on the School District's website. Those fixtures have been shut off and a plan to install filters and permanently replace those fixtures is underway.

Recently, Poughkeepsie was listed as having some of the highest lead levels detected in children across the country. Older buildings with aging water pipes and lead paint are common causes of increased levels in children.
