The school district issued this update in response to some concerns about a water contamination issue in South Orange. We do not usually cover news from our neighbors over there, but when it affects their schools -- which include some Maplewood students -- it is of interest.
See the notice issued below:
South Orange Maplewood School District has been made aware of the
recent information regarding the South Orange water system. The District
is following the guidance of the Township of South Orange Village which
indicated that “the water actually delivered to consumers likely has
PFOA levels below the guidance limits.”
The news release from South Orange can be found at http://www.southorange.org/notices.asp?guid=ff51d5ef.
Following the suggestion in the news release, any parent or staff
member who remains concerned should consider using bottled water
which may be sent from home.

We will continue to monitor the situation and will respond based on
the guidance from the Township. If there are any changes, we will send a
follow-up.
