Chester
Water Authority is tracking every step your water takes until it
comes out of your tap. At
our Octoraro Treatment Plant, located in Lancaster County, the
Authority has installed software to manage the water quality data
that is collected by laboratory and operating personnel.
With a new Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS)
having been put into operation recently, water quality data will
soon be readily accessible to Authority personnel.
Having the data available electronically will make it easier
to analyze and use in day-to-day operations.
It will also increase the efficiency of compliance checking
and routine reporting of data to regulatory agencies.
As a
state-certified laboratory, the CWA Octoraro Treatment Plant
laboratory is required to make numerous quality-control checks to
demonstrate that the data reported by the laboratory is accurate and
valid. The LIMS will
assist laboratory personnel in documenting and managing this
information more efficiently, as there are over 20,000 water quality
analyses performed annually by CWA.
Chester
Water Authority is making sure that all the right tools are in place
to serve our customers.
