Drinking Water Testing
PCC is focused on providing safe and healthful drinking water to all in the academic community. In recent years Portland Community College Environmental Health & Safety department has been conducting District-wide collection and analysis of drinking water samples for the presence of lead. These efforts are done in accordance with two EPA guidance documents; Lead in Drinking Water in Schools and Non-Residential Buildings and 3Ts for Reducing Lead in Drinking Water in Schools.
The EH&S team samples drinking water sources such as fountains, sinks, and water bottle fill stations. Sample locations are selected based on recent construction or renovation work, impacts to water systems, or other regulatory requirements.
All testing results are posted on this site.
