Eugene School District 4J

Eugene School District 4J is committed to providing safe drinking water for all students and staff. In 2016, the district voluntarily launched a proactive effort to test all water fixtures used for drinking and food preparation in every school and facility.

4J Commitment to Safe Water

Comprehensive Testing: In 2016, all water taps in 4J schools and buildings were tested for lead. Most showed levels within safe limits. Where elevated lead levels were found, those fixtures were immediately turned off, repaired or replaced, and retested before being returned to service. 

As part of the district’s Healthy and Safe School Plan, all drinking water and food prep fixtures are tested for lead at least every six years, beginning July 1, 2020. View the testing schedule in the Healthy and Safe Schools Plan.

Prompt Action on Elevated Results: If a fixture shows elevated lead levels (15 parts per billion or higher), we:

• Stop use immediately and provide an alternate safe water source
• Identify and correct the cause of the contamination
• ​​Retest to confirm the water is safe before returning the fixture to use—or decommission it if necessary

Reporting: Oregon Department of Education requires that all test results be made available to the public no later than 10 business days from receiving final test results. Final test results are the last test results received for a building. If there are no fixtures with elevated levels of lead, the initial test results would also be the final test results. If there are elevated levels of lead, the final test results are the last test results after the fixtures have been successfully remediated.
