SUBJECT: Residence Halls Drinking Water Sampling

Environmental Health & Safety will be conducting routine drinking water sampling in all CMU residence halls and apartments throughout this summer. 

Fixtures to be sampled include water fountains, bottle fillers, kitchen and bathroom sinks.  These will be removed from service for at least 6 to 8 hours, overnight, prior to sampling.   The fixtures will be covered with a black plastic bag and affixed with a sign identifying that it is out of service and not to be used.  The fixtures will be put back into service as soon as sampling is complete.

The Summer Housing schedule will be taken into account and fixtures will also be sampled on a rotating basis for minimal disturbance to residents.

For questions or concerns regarding this, please contact Christina Goyda, EH&S Industrial Hygienist, at 412-268-4844.
