Asbestos found on pipes near Jefferson Elementary School

Asbestos found on pipes near Jefferson Elementary School.

The attorneys at the personal injury law firm of Weitz & Luxenberg have decades of experience defending victims’ rights in practice areas that include: accidents/general injury, dangerous drugs, medical malpractice, and environmental pollutants.

NEWS UPDATE:

This information has been reported in the Watertown Daily Times. In February 2007, a softball-size asbestos chunk was found on a loading dock behind Jefferson Elementary School and asbestos on pipes in the area also was found. As a result, the district contracted with Atlantic Testing Laboratories, Canton, to test for asbestos in the school. That testing required the school to be closed for a week.

While some asbestos residue was found in a boiler room, which subsequently was cleaned while the school was closed for spring break, Atlantic Testing reported that no classrooms contained asbestos. Schools Superintendent Douglas W. Huntley informed parents of that in a letter sent out in late April.
