Discussion whether or not UW is addressing the lead in water concern that other communities are discovering. Facilities was double checking that some of the older buildings did not have the "goose neck" plumbing that contributes to the lead in the water concern.
Some departments in HSC 6 are already updating their Health & Safety Plan.
