Parents of students at Gray’s Creek Elementary were recently notified of updated drinking water testing results by Cumberland County School district officials.
Based on samples taken in October, school officials said results show GenX levels of 6 parts per trillion and total PFAS levels of 53 parts per trillion, including levels of two individual per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at 34 parts per trillion and 13 parts per trillion.
For the last two years, students at the school have been provided bottled water after the Department of Environmental Quality first sampled levels at the school. That practice is expected to continue, along with bottled water being used for food preparation, until a new permanent water system is completed.
Meanwhile, nearby Alderman Road Elementary was recently resampled with the results finding no detection for GenX and other PFAS compounds.
