Campus water testing happens annually, usually during winter break. We put signs on fixtures that cannot be used due to testing, please do not use those fixtures. Depending on where we collect samples from, you may not be able to access some of the sinks or water fountains in your building. We ensure that there are other sinks and water fountains are accessible within the building as to minimize any inconvenience.
