The lab is part of EDA RANU's Environment and Quality Control (EQC) Division’s effort to enhance water quality.
The K300 000 facility will be used to test water samples to check for bacteria in the water supply treatment at Mt Eriama, Sogeri.
There are six staff operating the lab including a microbiologist, environment and quality control inspectors, trade waste officers and a quality assurance officer.
The scientists were trained in Sydney.
They’re responsible for testing the water samples and make recommendations on how to improve water quality.
