Sampling Services

Drinking Water, Wastewater & Stormwater

  • Client Challenge

    Facility managers are responsible for maintaining safe and compliant building operations—but when it comes to water quality, many face uncertainty around what to sample, how to interpret results, and how to respond to exceedances. Whether dealing with tenant concerns, Health and Safety Committee inquiries, or regulatory stormwater and wastewater discharge limits, the lack of in-house expertise and inconsistent sampling practices can lead to compliance risks, reputational concerns, and missed opportunities to detect emerging issues early.

Featured Project

A client managing an office complex hired Aureus to investigate lead in its drinking water plumbing system. Though water entering the site met provincial standards, the Facility Management team was responsible for internal plumbing water quality but lacked technical expertise. Unclear requirements and responsibilities, combined with inconsistent lead sampling protocols, created confusion and concern among staff and visitors. Aureus developed a targeted sampling plan, conducted testing, and supported the client through adverse results. We helped manage communications, advised on mitigation, identified lead sources, and confirmed improvements through follow-up testing. The client stayed compliant, safeguarded health, and restored confidence in the site’s water quality.

  • The main objective was to investigate and manage lead risks in the drinking water plumbing system of an office complex.

  • Although incoming water met provincial standards, the Facility Management team lacked technical expertise, and unclear responsibilities plus inconsistent sampling protocols created confusion and concern among staff and visitors.

  • Aureus developed a targeted sampling plan, conducted testing, and guided the client through adverse results, including mitigation strategies, source identification, and follow-up testing. Aureus also assisted with communications to staff and visitors.

  • The engagement ensured the client remained compliant, safeguarded health, and restored confidence in water quality.

  • Aureus helped establish clear sampling protocols and practical mitigation strategies, supporting ongoing water quality management and risk reduction for the facility.
