University Continues Drinking Water Monitoring Program

Since 2008, Western EHS has taken additional steps to monitor the campus’ drinking water. While there is no federal law requiring universities to test their drinking water, Western determined it in the best interest of the campus community to test priority sites on campus.

Western’s Drinking Water Management Program covers all campus buildings with many locations already having been sampled.

Current monitoring efforts will prioritize the oldest locations on campus which serve the youngest populations. The goal is to complete comprehensive university-wide sampling by June 2020.
