Water in the Community

We live in a community where we are impacted by the decisions and actions of those around us. This is especially true with water. Runoff from drains and farms eventually end up in our waterways, creating potential issues for those downstream. Aquifers can be contaminated when insufficient care is taken in the extraction of minerals, or the storage of waste. Sometimes a body of water may change independently of human interference. Consequently, the information obtained from a water test is only reliable for the time in which it was taken. Regular testing is advisable when water quality is critical. Richmond Water Laboratories (RWL) specialise in the testing of all types of water, including effluent, leachates and drinking water. Please feel free to contact RWL to discuss your water testing needs.
