Drinking Water Testing, Water Quality
and Pathogenic Disease Laboratories
The Center for Environmental Quality at Wilkes University operates and maintains a series
of state-of-the-art water quality and drinking water quality testing laboratories. The facility, a non-profit/ equal
opportunity employer, is operated and managed, within the Environmental Engineering and
Engineering Department under the auspices of the Center for Environmental Quality.
Currently, the laboratory is PADEP/EPA approved for drinking water analysis for regulated
water supplies for microbiological agents, but has the capability to conduct analysis for
macronutrients, general water quality parameters, and toxic metals. The
facility has developed a Private Well or Water Supply Owner information and
water quality testing program.
The research laboratory has worked on projects related to acid mine drainage ( AMD ), mine drainage, lake and stream monitoring programs, wetland creation and monitoring, filtration plant performance evaluations, testing new point of use water treatment devices and systems, hydrogeological evaluations, geological investigations, soils testing, soil morphological evaluations, water well drilling and construction, drinking water testing, mail order water testing kit program, and land reclamation. The Center has also been involved with Citizen Monitoring and other Environmental Training Programs for groups within the United States, Europe, and even the former Soviet Union.
