Boone campus water quality information
Posted Oct. 18, 2024
On Oct. 17, App State’s Water and Steam Systems Engineer was notified by the North Carolina Dept of Environmental Quality about elevated levels of haloacetic acids (HAA5s), in four university buildings after a regular quarterly water quality test on Oct. 8, 2024: Appalachian Heights, Student Recreation Center, Trivette Hall and Convocation Center. Per state requirements, this information was physically posted to the four buildings earlier today.
A byproduct of the chlorination process is HAA5s, which are not harmful in small, periodic quantities, and are not linked to skin infections.
Although the university tap water is safe to drink, we are providing bottled water to all residence halls, which can be picked up at Central Dining Hall during regular operating hours. Activated carbon filters have been shown to be effective at reducing HAA5 level in tap water.
Since Oct. 8, when the water was last tested, the university has been actively flushing its water system. We will continue regular testing and mitigation measures until test results from NCDEQ show acceptable levels. Test results will be posted at this website as they are updated.
Please read the full message for additional details and information provided to the university by AppHealthCare, our local public health agency.
