PULLMAN, Wash- The 2011 WSU Drinking Water Consumer Confidence Report has been release by the university’s Environmental Health and Safety department. The report summarizes the drinking water quality for the Pullman campus systems in the last year.
In 2011 WSU pumped and distributed 466 million gallons of water, which equals an average daily use of 75.5 gallons per person each day. This is down from 76 gallons in 2010. The full report is available online.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requires that public water systems issue an annual Consumer Confidence Report to the users of the drinking water system. The annual drinking water quality report explains where the water comes from, what it contains, and the water sampling and treatment that WSU performs to prevent health risks.
