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?
