Lead testing in school drinking water requires extensive coordination. To ensure accurate results, preparing water outlets for early morning testing requires on-site checklists completed in advance. The most efficient approach is having facility staff handle preparation the day before testing. However, miscommunication during coordination can pose a major challenge.

Scope of Services

Terraphase designed a custom mobile app and automated messaging system to streamline water outlet preparation for all schools served by Northern California Water Utility District. Facility managers and building engineers receive instructions and outlet-specific checklists the day before testing via the automated messaging system. Issues with the outlets can be reported through the app, and automated evening updates notify our clients and sampling teams of water outlet readiness, ensuring efficient testing.

Notable Accomplishments

• Automated communication between stakeholders, project managers, and sampling team
• Cost reduction in project management hours
• Compliance timestamps for outlet preparation
• Fewer canceled sampling opportunities
• Simple progress report data
