Environmental Technicians at Prince William Water play a vital role in ensuring that we consistently meet or exceed all federal and state drinking water regulations - a crucial part of our mission.
Their work protects public health and ensures the water our community relies on is clean and safe. This skilled group collects samples, analyzes and reports regulatory results required for our water distribution system. The Environmental Technicians perform over 7,600 compliance tests per year to ensure our drinking water meets regulations like the Revised Total Coliform Rule, Ground Water Rule, and Lead and Copper Rule. The team is also on hand 24/7 to handle emergency testing for events like sewer overflows or loss of pressure in the system.
The team also runs over 14,000 additional tests annually. These tests are not required by regulation but help us monitor water quality throughout our system and adjust operations, if needed.
"While much of this work happens behind the scenes, it is essential," said Environmental Technician Supervisor Laura Morgan. "Together, we are guardians of water quality, proudly protecting and serving the customers of Prince William Water every day."
