GSA Water Quality Testing

Years Active: 2024

Client: Gallagher Commercial Properties

Services Provided: Measurement of lead and copper contamination in water, P/A of E. Coli, P/A of Legionella

In an effort to ensure a healthy working environment, the Government Services Agency (GSA) has ordered water quality testing for all spaces which are leased to government tenants. Thurston Laboratories was contracted by a commercial property manager to measure the concentration of lead and copper in drinking water, and determine presence or absence of E. Coli and L. Pneumophilia. Thurston Laboratories personnel sampled water from the specified potable sources and carried out the testing.

The client was pleased with our quick turn around time, and our results demonstrated the safety of the building's water supply.
