🚰 Attention Schools & Childcare Centers in Eastern Kentucky

KRADD's Community & Economic Development staff, led by Infrastructure Coordinator Ashley Blair, is reaching out to public schools and childcare facilities across Breathitt, Knott, Lee, Leslie, Letcher, Owsley, Perry, and Wolfe Counties about a valuable opportunity for free lead testing and remediation support through EPA WIIN Act funding.

Testing drinking water for lead is an important step in protecting children's health and preparing for upcoming Safe Drinking Water Act requirements.

If you represent a school or childcare center and would like more information, please contact Ashley at 606-436-3158.

Please share with schools, childcare providers, educators, and community partners throughout our region.
