Water Information

Kettering University’s water supply is safe to drink.

Independent test results, conducted every six months by a certified analytical lab, indicate lead and other contaminants are below detectable levels or, if detectable, well below state and federal Safe Drinking Water regulatory action levels. Test results are available upon request.

Water Quality Efforts

Kettering’s water system features

  • Modern water infrastructure
  • High flow-rates of water through our system, preventing water from “pooling”
  • No lead-copper transitions in main supply lines

Precautionary measures

  • Recurring testing of all drinking and food service water distribution points on campus and all six Flint Municipal Water system input supply lines
  • Use of regularly maintained and replaced NSF 53 certified filters on all drinking water supplies on campus
  • Replacement of filters occurs earlier than manufacturer recommendations
  • Water supply lines are flushed whenever construction occurs in the area surrounding campus
  • Ongoing replacement of drinking fountains on campus with filtered hydration stations

Testing results

  • Kettering University contracts with Brighton Analytical LLC, an independent lab based in Brighton, Michigan, to conduct recurring tests of its water supply lines and drinking/food service distribution points.
