April 2008 - The Los Angeles Unified School District has begun testing drinking fountains at all of its 800 schools. It's part of a new district-wide plan to make sure the drinking water is safe at all schools. It's all in direct response to a KNBC investigation, which found dangerous amounts of lead in the drinking water at some schools.
It's going to take an entire year for the school district to test the fountains at every school. But officials are promising to find out where there's water with too much lead, and they say they'll do something about those problem fountains.
At 6 a.m., KNBC watched as a school district employee was at Marvin Avenue Elementary testing the drinking fountains.
