The state of North Carolina requires all Early Childhood programs to test their water for lead at any water source. All Verner Centers were tested in 2024:
- Verner Central: Average level 0.10 ppb
- Verner East: Average level 0.16 ppb
There is no safe level of lead in water for children. Verner practices safe water habits by:
- Designating drinking faucets and non drinking faucets
- Allowing water to run for 1-5 minutes when faucets have been inactive for an extended period.
- Using cold water for food preparation
- Regularly maintaining equipment to ensure safety
