The lab provides government with the most important tool to monitor the quality of surface water and sewage treatment plants, which include inland pond, and surrounding seawater.
The Environmental Hygiene Department has prepared a complete monitoring programme to be executed on a quarterly basis unless there are situations, which require further testing. Tests will look for microbial contamination, biological oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand nitrates and phosphate.
Results will enable the Inspectorate to provide better advice when and where necessary to government.
Public Health Minister Cornelius de Weever said in a press statement, "Now we have the means of testing sewage water to confirm rather than assume. We have a responsibility to protect our environment as much as we can and ensure that sewage water does not become a public health risk."
Any sewage system being used can now be tested to see whether or not it is complying with the required standards, which also includes the sewage treatment plant.
SLS can provide effluent analysis for the sewage treatment plan. The results will better allow operators to control the treatment of sewage water to ensure that the end product meets the requirements as stated in the hindrance permit that is issued by government.
The Inspectorate will also conduct independent audits of all sewage water treatment plants and will advise the owner/operator about the quality of its operation and, where necessary, corrective actions to be taken and a timeframe to remedy the situation.
