1.The water supply and sewage pipe networks in NCUE are installed independently. The principles for the installation of water supply and sewage pipes, as stipulated by the Taiwan Water Corporation, have been fully adhered to. Since the sewage pipeline is built at a lower position than the water supply pipeline, the water supply system will not be polluted.

2. Drinking water for our staff and students is supplied through well-distributed public water dispensers. There are a total of 249 such dispensers, with 180 and 69 dispensers on the Jinde and Baoshan Campus, respectively.

3. NCUE conducts water quality testing of the dispensers in accordance with the provisions of the Regulations on the Use and Maintenance of water dispensers. The manufacturer is commissioned to select 25% of all our water dispensers for inspection per quarter each year. 60 dispensers are inspected per quarter (no repeated selections for inspection). The inspection item is the number of escherichia coli colonies. The maximum limit of such colonies, as stipulated in the provisions of the Drinking Water Quality Standards issued by the Ministry of Environment, Executive Yuan, is 6 CFU per 100 ml. The water quality test results from NCUE's water dispensers all meet the drinking water quality standards, with a 100% passing rate. Examples of NCUE's drinking water inspection reports for 2024 are shown in Figures 1-2, and these reports are placed next to each water dispenser for assuring users to review and use, as shown in Figure 3.
