Beginning in November 2027, all South Dakota schools will be required to test for lead in water. Bennett County School District volunteered to participate in a pilot testing program ahead of this mandate.
On December 29, 2025, Bennett County School District tested school drinking water for lead, a heavy metal that can cause health problems if ingested. The District is pleased to report that recent water testing found no levels of lead in school drinking water.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends action if lead levels exceed 10 parts per billion. Testing results confirmed that no lead was detected in the district’s water and replacement of these fixtures is not necessary.
The district remains committed to student and staff safety and will continue to follow all state and federal guidance. As new guidance becomes available, Bennett County School District will continue to remain proactive and keep families and staff informed every step of the way.
If you have any questions, please contact the Business Office.
