Professionalizing Water Quality Monitoring via Centralized Lab Services

Monitoring water quality is crucial for ensuring that treatment processes are effective and that consumers receive safe water. For small rural water systems, centralizing water quality testing at a professional laboratory is more effective and economical than onsite testing.

The Water Quality Testing Assurance Fund encourages Ghana Water Company Limited’s laboratory to provide water quality monitoring services to small water systems in the nearby rural district of Asutifi North. Under the terms of the Assurance Fund, water systems are responsible for paying Ghana Water Company Limited’for monthly testing services. If water systems defaulted on their payments, Ghana Water Company Limited could file a claim against the Assurance Fund.
