Karns City district schools are passing out water bottles in response to a recent round of water testing.

This is the second round of testing after tests in August returned positive results for lead and copper.

In this round of testing on Sept. 18, Gannett Fleming, the company hired to test the water, found six water sources with copper levels over the 1.3 milligrams per liter limit and 12 sources with lead levels over the 0.015 milligrams per liter limit.

The district informed parents of testing results in a letter Thursday. Superintendent Eric Ritzert said they'll be keeping parents up to date throughout the whole process.

All three of the district's school buildings had too much lead and copper in the test results.

The testing timeline remains unclear. Ritzert said the process could last several weeks, or a couple of months.

The test results are posted on the district's website, kcasdk12.org.
