Richmond Water Laboratories (RWL) is an environmental laboratory focused in the analysis of water quality. Situated in Lismore, in the Northern Rivers of NSW, RWL are positioned to provide quick and accurate analysis for all water testing throughout the state.
Specialising in analysing water to assess drinking water quality, RWL offer a range of tests designed for rainwater tanks, bores, up to large reticulated water systems. RWL also tests the environmental characteristics of waste water and effluent, as well as run off and leachates from contaminated and landfill sites. Our advanced LIMS reporting system, enabling registered clients to track sample progress and results, is especially helpful for our council clients.
With a strong focus on quality, RWL has NATA accreditation for over 60 water, wastewater and soil tests. The integrity of our environmental analysis is enhanced by employing a full time NATA certified sampling officer.
RWL is a business unit of Rous Water, and is located in the heart of Lismore’s CBD. Operating since 2000, Richmond Water Laboratories takes pride in the part it plays in assuring the quality of our most precious resource.
