Water Quality and Pathogenic Disease Laboratories
The Drinking Water Testing Laboratory and Resource Center


The Center for Environmental Quality at Wilkes University operates and maintains a series of state-of-the-art water and environmental materials testing facility. The facility, a non-profit/ equal opportunity employer, is operated and managed, within the Department of Environmental Engineering and Earth Sciences under the auspices of the Center for Environmental Quality located in Pennsylvania.  The Center implemented the Homeowner Outreach Program

to assist private well and water system owners/operators.

The Wilkes University Center for Environmental Quality 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, water well drilling and construction, drinking water testing and land reclamation. The Center has also been involved with Citizen Monitoring and other Environmental Training Programs for groups within the United States, Europe, India, and even the former Soviet Union.  The staff of the Center is available for education conferences and workshops.
