West Sacramento elementary schools shuts off water fountains after quality questioned

One week into the new school year at Riverbank Elementary School in West Sacramento, and its water fountains have been shut off. Riverbank, which is part of the Washington Unified School District, said it decided to shut off the fountains after several parents tested some of the water on campus and discovered some type of contaminant. María García has two children at Riverbank elementary. She bought a water testing home kit after noticing yellow water and notified school officials on Aug. 9: one day before the first day of school.
