Verify Compliance and Safety in Your GSA Leased Facility
At Intertek, we recognize that the quality of drinking water in GSA leased facilities is not just a matter of compliance, but a critical component of occupant health and safety. The U.S. General Services Administration's (GSA) Public Building Service (PBS) has established rigorous requirements for water quality in federally leased spaces.
These standards are designed to safeguard the health and well-being of federal employees and visitors, and Intertek is here to help facility managers with a wealth of expertise in water quality. Our team of qualified environmental professionals possesses not only extensive experience in water sampling and analysis but also an in-depth understanding of the latest industry standards and GSA-specific requirements.
We thoroughly test for a wide range of parameters, including lead, copper, and various forms of bacteria such as Total Coliform, E. Coli, and Legionella. This level of water testing must be performed in GSA leased spaces and all common areas to which the GSA tenants and its visitors have access and would reasonably expect to use. And our testing methods and their resulting interpretations strictly adhere to EPA standards, the Safe Drinking Water Act, and all relevant state and local regulations.
GSA Water Testing Process: A Partnership for Quality
Our process begins with a customized sampling plan, tailored to your facility's specific layout and usage patterns. We understand that each building is unique, and our approach reflects this to make certain that potential risk points are identified and addressed.
Once the plan is in place, our experts conduct professional on-site water sampling, performed with the care and precision, adhering to strict protocols to preserve the integrity of each sample. We then transport these samples to state-of-the-art laboratories, where they undergo rigorous analysis using EPA-approved methods. Our advanced testing capabilities allow us to provide a comprehensive picture of your water quality.
Once completed we provide detailed, easy-to-understand reports in a GSA required format that include sampling locations, methodologies, results, and clear interpretations of what the findings mean for your facility. If any issues are identified, we offer actionable recommendations for remediation and improvement and offer ongoing environmental consulting.
Let us help you navigate the complexities of water quality management and offer a safe, compliant, and healthy environment for all who depend on your facility.
