Good question Joseph. <br>
The following statement is from the initial email sent by Ron
regarding the water. Also, I am attaching the report that was sent
to Rusty from Dr. Chandler.<br>
<pre wrap="">There have been a couple of complaints that the water in the TED made them feel ill. Facilities was asked to test the water quality and report back to us. The comments from Dr Chandler and the attached report indicate that the water quality is okay. </pre>

<pre>Rusty,
The purpose of this email is to provide information about water quality
in the TED Building.
Questions about water quality arose because of concerns about employees
who developed symptoms possibly consistent with water, beverage, and/or
food borne modes of transmission. In response, the Industrial Hygiene
group conducted testing and consulted experts at the Newport News
Waterworks and at an industrial hygiene testing laboratory. The test
panel obtained was that recommended by these experts. All results were
within EPA guidelines and are included in the attached report. The lab
report does not note this, but the EPA guideline for "heterotrophic
plate count" is less than 500/ml. Therefore, the data are consistent
with a well maintained water system.
Any employees who have questions about the test results or who develop
symptoms possibly related to workplace conditions should contact
Occupational Medicine.
Thank you for considering this information. Please let me know if you
have any questions.
-Smitty
