Evidence for Safe Water.

SANAS-accredited testing across microbiological, chemical, physical and operational water-quality parameters.

SCIENTIFIC AND LABORATORY SERVICES

LNW’s Scientific Services Unit carries out water-quality testing at its SANAS-accredited laboratory. Testing supports SANS 241 drinking-water requirements and the operational management of water treatment systems.

The laboratory analyses potable, borehole, river and effluent water. Sample collection services are available by arrangement.

WHAT THIS SERVICE INCLUDES

Microbiological testing

Testing includes indicator organisms used to assess the microbiological safety of water.

Chemical testing

Analyses cover health, aesthetic and operational chemical parameters relevant to water quality.

Physical testing

Physical parameters such as turbidity, colour, conductivity and dissolved solids support treatment and compliance decisions.

Operational monitoring

Routine and investigative testing helps treatment teams monitor processes and respond to emerging water-quality risks.
