Lead Testing in Schools and Child Care Facilities Drinking Water (LWSC) Program

The Oklahoma Lead Testing Program is a free, statewide initiative by DEQ to reduce lead exposure where children are cared for. Public schools and licensed child care facilities are eligible to participate in this program which provides free sampling and laboratory testing to identify lead in drinking water. If lead is found, DEQ can provide funding and guidance to assist with removing lead from a facility’s drinking water.
