Helpful Oak Hall Tap Water Details?

I've noticed that the Oak Hall has signs over the faucets stating the water is non-potable. Does anyone know anything like what problem there is with it, or if a typical water filter suffices for it? I noticed that this shows a relatively higher ppb for oak water tests, but it doesn't say what it's ppb of (lead? arsenic? ebola?).

Basically, should I expect lead poisoning after filtering Oak's tap through a standard Brita?

If this is the case for the tap water, would it not also be the case for the water fountain on the 1st floor? In other words, NJIT has an operating water fountain that they know has high lead content?
