Carlsbad Unified School District board members issued an apology to parents at a meeting Wednesday night for not catching the contaminated drinking water at Hope Elementary sooner.
Parents and students say the water was yellow and had a foul odor. The board president said the plumbing contractor tested the water for pathogens like e.coli bacteria several times but the tests came back negative."Why was the plumbing contractor in control for which water tests were completed for safety during the period of complaints?" parent Crystal Jones asked the board.
"We deeply regret that intermittent water-related complaints and investigative efforts did not result in the cross-connection discovered sooner," Board President Elisa Williamson told parents. "Our future literally depends on your actions and inaction. Please do better. Own the problem even if you think it is not yours," parent Kim McConnel told board members.
