Termez State University (TerSU) provides drinking-water facilities for students, academic and administrative staff, and visitors through an institutional network of drinking-water stations, dispensers and filtration systems. The arrangements form part of the university's Water Reuse and Sustainable Water Management Policy and its institutional drinking-water management programme.

These facilities serve academic buildings, administrative offices, student dormitories, the university library, sports facilities, canteens, the medical centre and training facilities.
The university uses purified-water dispensers, municipal drinking-water outlets and point-of-use filtration equipment to provide accessible drinking-water sources.
2. Drinking-Water Supply and Treatment
TerSU maintains drinking-water provision through municipal treated-water supplies, approved conditioned water and additional point-of-use purification equipment.

Drinking water originating from approved treated or purified sources |

The 87.0% figure covers treated water for multiple institutional purposes, not drinking water alone. All water used for direct human consumption and food preparation originates from approved treated or purified sources.
Municipal treated water and approved conditioned water are stored in protected facilities and distributed through closed pipelines. Potable-water infrastructure is physically separated from recycled wastewater and other non-potable supplies.
3. Drinking-Water Quality Monitoring (2025)
TerSU implements regular drinking-water quality assessment through laboratory testing, sanitary inspections and preventive maintenance.

The university's drinking-water monitoring programme assesses physical, chemical and microbiological parameters, including pH, turbidity, total dissolved solids, nitrate, chloride, fluoride, iron, residual chlorine, arsenic, lead, Escherichia coli and total coliforms.
4. Maintenance, Hygiene and Water Safety
TerSU applies a documented maintenance and inspection schedule:
- Monthly: Inspection of drinking-water stations, dispensers, storage tanks and distribution infrastructure.
- Monthly: Basic field water-quality checks and review of water-source conditions.
- At least quarterly: Filter servicing and replacement.
- Quarterly: Laboratory analysis by an authorised laboratory.
- Annually: Review of the institutional treated-water balance.
If a drinking-water point fails a quality check, the university's procedure requires temporary withdrawal from use, technical inspection, cleaning, disinfection, repair or filter replacement, and verification of acceptable water quality before reopening.
The university maintains drinking-water infrastructure inventories, laboratory documentation, water-quality monitoring records and photographic evidence of dispensers, filtration equipment and distribution facilities.
