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 testing laboratories. The facility, a non-profit/ equal
opportunity employer, is operated and managed, within the Environmental Engineering and
Earth Sciences 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.
