Water is part of nearly everything we do. It supports our homes, our work, our communities, and the systems we rely on every day. But behind that water is an important question: what’s really in it? At Prein&Newhof, our laboratory exists to help answer that question.
Every day, water samples arrive at our laboratory from across Michigan. Some come from municipal systems working to meet regulatory requirements. Others come from businesses monitoring their operations or homeowners looking to better understand their private wells. Each sample represents a need for clear, reliable information.
Our laboratory is Drinking Water Certified by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) and provides testing for a wide range of water quality indicators, including bacteria, metals such as lead and copper, PFAS, and other organic and inorganic compounds.
That level of testing plays an important role in protecting public health and supporting the systems that deliver and manage water. Whether it’s helping a municipality confirm compliance, supporting an industry in meeting discharge requirements, or giving a homeowner confidence in their drinking water, accurate testing is the foundation for making informed decisions.
But the work doesn’t stop at the data. Our team focuses on delivering results with a quick turnaround in a way that is clear and actionable. From sample collection through analysis and reporting, we follow strict protocols designed for accuracy and compliance while helping our clients to understand what their results mean and what steps to take next.
We also recognize that water challenges are always evolving. Emerging contaminants like PFAS and increased regulatory expectations continue to shape how water systems are managed across Michigan. Reliable laboratory testing helps communities and organizations respond to those challenges with confidence and clarity to protect both public health and the environment.
At its core, our laboratory supports something simple but essential: understanding water so it can be reliably managed and protected. Because when we understand what’s in our water, we can make better decisions for the people and places that depend on it.
