Water containing elevated lead levels has been found in three bathrooms on the Texas A&M campus. Those findings were part of regular checks by the university.

Officials with university tell us they have precautions in place moving forward.

Anna Vickers is a senior at Texas A&M and said she is rethinking filling up her water bottle after hearing water containing elevated levels of lead was found on campus.

"That does not sound very good. It probably doesn't taste very good, so I probably won't bring my container that much anymore,” said Vickers.

Karen Bigley works for the university and said A&M is responding quickly. They regularly check water sources all over campus.

"We checked these 30 locations just recently in August, and we had three locations that showed slightly elevated lead levels,” said Bigley.

Bigley said the elevated lead levels were all found in restrooms and not water fountains.

Water testing over the recommend level of lead was found in the third-floor bathroom in the chemistry building, the third-floor bathroom at the engineering-physics lab, and the first-floor restroom in the facilities services shop.

The university said the issues were isolated and nearby facilities were blocked off for now.

"We are, as a precaution, checking the drinking fountains and break rooms on the same floor in the same buildings as those three locations,” said Bigley.

The university expedited water samples to a lab and hopes to have results back by Friday.

Although the university's main water supply is clean, Vickers said she is still going to be cautious around university water for now.

"I think I will probably bring my own water and just fill it up when I am at home,” said Vickers.

Students and staff who frequent the building impacted have been notified by email. University staff said signs were placed on those locations Friday to keep people informed.

Prolonged exposure to lead in water, even while washing your hands, can be harmful.
