Heath City Schools officials say tests on drinking fountains at the middle school show lead in the water at double the acceptable level. Water from sinks at Garfield Elementary also show high lead levels. Bottled water is being given to students and staff. There's no word yet how much water system repairs will cost. The Granville Exempted Village Schools are also testing water after finding high lead levels in some drinking fountains.
