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.
