Paterson Public Schools Water Testing Results

Per a recent state law, all districts are required to test the water quality every six years. Paterson Public Schools has completed its annual district-wide water testing; and as noted in this report, most outlets tested at acceptable levels. The few water fixtures with a reading above the 15 ppb limit were taken “offline” until repairs were made and subsequent results indicate a “below the limit” reading.

Although not required by law, Paterson will continue to test the water every year in order to ensure the highest quality water delivery possible in our schools and district offices.
