Help us Improve the Sanitary Inspection Form

Assessing your drinking water quality can be expensive and complicated. It doesn’t have to be, with sanitary inspection forms. They use standardized scores to help you assess risk and select the right technology, all without the need for specialized equipment or technicians.

We’re working with the University of Surrey to develop forms that can be used by community representatives, health workers, water inspectors and humanitarian professionals. Your feedback will help us to ensure that they are truly universal.
