Lead Sampling for Schools
For Facility Managers and Health & Safety Managers - there is a lot on your plate with lots of requirements. We want to help with that. At TCWC we have tested over 25,000 samples for schools all across Minnesota. From large school districts like Minneapolis and smaller districts such as Hibbing.
With this we bring a lot of knowledge the best methods for sampling procedures, remediation guidance, and mandated reporting to Minnesota Department of Health.
As a school administrator who has an abundance of items on your list, we’ll make lead testing easy for you to check off. Twin City Water Clinic is certified to test drinking water for lead, so you can be confident that the water your kids and staff are drinking is safe.
We work closely with environmental health and safety coordinators and environmental consulting groups. We serve public, private and charter schools as well as daycare providers.
Sample Collection
TCWC will collect samples (first draw) from each drinking water fixture, denoting all important information needed for accurate testing and reporting to the state.
