Kanawha school superintendent releases statement on water testing

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Kanawha County School Superintendent Ron Duerring released the following staement Friday evening in connection with the latest round of water testing in more than a dozen county schools:

Schools listed with non-detect levels include:

Holz Elementary

J.E. Robins Elementary

John Adams Middle School

These schools had been tested last week and earlier this week as well and reported at a non-detect level.
