Recent news reports have outlined issues with the water in parts of the City of Newark. NJIT has and continues to regularly, and independently, test our water to ensure the levels of lead are within the EPA standards for drinking water. While we have had some issues and concerns in the past, we have found them to be local in nature and not from the City water distribution in our area. When we have found something, we have shut down the source temporarily and made the necessary repairs to bring the results back into compliance.
