COVID-19 Protocol

More than at any time before, we are mindful that water quality is directly linked to our quality of life. Clean, safe water is a crucial part of combating the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

In accordance with the Essential services listed by President Ramaphosa during his nation-wide lockdown address, our laboratory will remain open for testing of public water supplies.

Private clients will be accommodated by prior arrangement. We are putting measures in place to safeguard our personnel, clients and others visiting our premises.

These will be communicated via all possible channels to ensure the safety of everyone involved. Please be safe, be calm and use the 21 days ahead to connect with those you care about.
