Pennsylvania schools with results above 5 ppb must prevent exposure, provide alternative drinking water and report elevated results for public posting. The state updates its reported-school list quarterly. DEP also offers lead-reduction grants for qualifying recent results.

Why it matters for FloWater
This creates a repeatable signal-to-sale workflow. A newly reported result can be checked against grant eligibility, remediation status, facility size, decision-makers and procurement activity before FloWater spends sales time.

Recommended action
Monitor the quarterly state file. For each new record, verify the affected outlet, current remedy, current fund availability, grant eligibility, facilities contact, governing-board activity and purchasing route. Deliver only qualified accounts, not a raw school list.

Timing
The current DEP page still provides an application path. Confirm the remaining balance before presenting funding as available for a named account. New public results create quarterly account-refresh points.

Evidence limit
Evidence limits
A reported elevated result is a need signal, not evidence of an open bid or intent to purchase. The $4.4 million figure is the original program pool, and the remaining balance is not published in the reviewed sources. The $823,000 FY2026 federal allotment is a separate future state implementation layer.
