A Jiangsu Province university has shut off the students' bath house to investigate accusations the bath house was using waste hot water from steel plants to save money.
Students from Jiangnan University in Wuxi City were not aware they washed in waste water. One unnamed female student told a local television station students often drunk the water.
A worker at the bathhouse said the university has been using such waste water for two years to save money. She said the water was only used as bath water and the school's drinking water was heated in a separate boiler.
She added that no student has ever fallen sick from the water.
A test on the sample from the university's bathhouse showed there was 1.3 milligrams of lead per liter of water, 13 times higher than the national standard for drinking water.
The lead-tainted water was also sent to hotels and other public bathhouses in the city.
