Parents say students at Hope Elementary in Carlsbad have been complaining about water quality for months, and on Monday the Carlsbad Unified School District confirmed fresh and reclaimed water lines had been cross-contaminated.
Students started complaining about irregular water color from some drinking fountains and in some classrooms in August at the beginning of the school year, according to the district.
Then in November, students started complaining about the water's taste and smell. The district said initial tests didn't indicate that the water was unsafe. However, the district clarified that testing"was performed to rule out harmful bacteria, but testing was not ordered that would have detected the higher levels of chlorine, water hardness, and alkaline content that is found in reclaimed water.
