Water Quality Laboratory:
Highlighting Our Talented Staff

Just who are the people behind-the-scenes at Metropolitan providing award-winning drinking water for our six counties? They are the ones who run thousands of tests every year using the latest and best technology at Metropolitan’s renowned Water Quality Laboratory in La Verne.

The lab was established 50 years ago, the same year the Safe Drinking Water Act launched. This dedicated and highly skilled staff – about 100 employees who handle a wide range of assignments and initiatives – are all focused on the same mission. They safeguard the quality of drinking water we provide to our 26 member agencies and the communities they serve. As we recognize the anniversary of the lab, let’s look at some of our many talented water quality staff in action.
