MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District’s Central Laboratory has received national recognition for its efforts to reduce its impact on the environment.
Now, it has a Green Lab Certification for its focus on sustainability.
Julia Floreani is a laboratory technician at the MMSD Central Lab. For one of her experiments, she measures the ammonia analyte in the water.
“We test the water that goes into the wastewater treatment plant and then the water that comes out,” said Floreani. “We compare it and the data that we generate helps the plants adjust what they are doing so that our water can be treated and safe for Lake Michigan.”
