Consumer Notice of Tap Water Results - October 2023

Meets or exceeds state and federal lead and copper drinking water standards

Wright State University is required to distribute a Consumer Notice for our Tap Water Results to all users of water served by its Public Water System.

Wright State’s University water system collected 60 tap samples for lead and copper analysis on October 20-25, 2023. 60 of the 60 tap water samples had lead levels less than the federal action level 15.5 parts per billion (ppb). Lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children.  Please read this information closely to see what you can do to reduce lead in your drinking water.
