More Information: Water-testing Results by Facility, FAQs

Dear Austin ISD Families,

The health and safety of all our students is Austin ISD's top priority. With that in mind, we want to share with you the results of testing done on our drinking water. [Información en español]

The city of Austin is the source of AISD’s drinking water supply. While schools are not required to do additional testing of the water, AISD voluntarily tested for lead in drinking water at the same standard that the city is held to for supplying our city’s drinking water.
