Great news for our St. Joe’s family! 🚰✨
The Public Health Advisory regarding our drinking water has officially been lifted, effective August 26, 2026. Following extensive remediation and testing, our primary drinking sources—including designated water fountains and kitchen fixtures—meet all public health safety guidelines and are fully cleared for normal use.
A few quick reminders as we welcome everyone back to the fountains:
Safe Fountains are Open: Water fountains and primary drinking stations are safe, tested, and ready to use!
Check the Signs: Any non-drinking fixtures will remain clearly marked with permanent "Do Not Consume" signage. Please remind students to only drink from designated water fountains and stations.
Ongoing Monitoring: We are working closely with infrastructure experts on regular maintenance, filter changes, and periodic testing to keep our water clean and safe moving forward.
Thank you to our entire school community for your patience and cooperation while this important work was completed!
