Municipal water systems require accurate testing data to protect public health, support environmental compliance, maintain treatment performance, and manage infrastructure effectively.
PBR Laboratories supports municipalities throughout Alberta, Western Canada, and Canada with drinking water testing, wastewater testing, lagoon monitoring, reservoir monitoring, microbiological testing, and water chemistry analysis.
Our goal is simple: help municipal operators understand results and make informed decisions.
Municipal water systems require testing throughout the entire water cycle. PBR supports:
Why Drinking Water Testing Matters
Municipal drinking water programs help protect public health and verify treatment effectiveness.
Common Testing Services:
Indicator of potential fecal contamination.
Assessment of drinking water quality and distribution system performance.
Evaluation of general bacterial populations.
pH, Conductivity, Hardness, Alkalinity, Turbidity, Metals, Nutrients.
Why Wastewater Testing Matters
Wastewater testing helps municipalities evaluate treatment performance and support regulatory reporting.
Common Testing Services:
Measures organic loading and treatment performance.
Measures total oxidizable material present within wastewater.
Measures suspended particles within wastewater.
Measures dissolved materials present within water.
Ammonia, Nitrate, Nitrite, Total Nitrogen, Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN), Total Phosphorus.
What Is Lagoon Monitoring?
Lagoon systems require ongoing monitoring to evaluate treatment effectiveness and support environmental compliance.
Why Monitor Source Water?
Changes in source water quality can affect treatment operations, public health, and operational costs.
Drinking water testing, wastewater testing, lagoon monitoring, reservoir monitoring, microbiological testing, water chemistry testing, and environmental monitoring support.
Yes. PBR supports ongoing municipal monitoring programs throughout Canada.
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), nutrients, microbiology, and water chemistry parameters.
Reservoir monitoring helps identify source water risks before they impact treatment systems.
Additional investigation, corrective actions, operational reviews, or follow-up testing may be required depending on the results.
Treatment performance and operational conditions should be reviewed to determine appropriate corrective actions.
PBR Laboratories provides drinking water testing, wastewater monitoring, lagoon monitoring, reservoir monitoring, microbiological analysis, water chemistry testing, and compliance support for municipalities throughout Alberta, Western Canada, and Canada.
