Good Afternoon Manheim Families and Staff --- Today, we are happy to report that the water pressure at Manheim Elementary has been corrected and the water has been deemed safe for the students to drink and for the cafeteria to use when preparing food. The water pressure failure was due to a broken water pump which has been replaced and has corrected the problem. Following the pump replacement, the district was required to complete water quality tests to determine if the water was safe for consumption. The district must receive two consecutive tests that indicate the water is safe for consumption, and the district has received the two required consecutive tests that show the water is safe for consumption. The test results are available on our district website, and hard copies are also available in the Manheim Elementary Office.
Effective immediately, students will once again have access to the drinking fountains in the school. We appreciate your patience as we worked to correct the water pressure issue.
