Our Services

Comprehensive water quality monitoring, examination, and management consulting for utilities, lake managers, and pond owners.

Spirogyra Diversified Environmental Services offers a full range of water quality services built on more than 30 years of field and laboratory experience. We work closely with each client to understand their specific challenges and deliver practical, cost-effective solutions.

Water Quality Monitoring

We design and implement comprehensive monitoring programs for municipal drinking water and wastewater utilities. Our programs are tailored to meet regulatory requirements while providing the operational data utilities need to manage their systems effectively.

  • Routine compliance monitoring
  • Source water assessment
  • Distribution system monitoring
  • Wastewater effluent monitoring

Algal Toxin & Cyanobacteria Management

Harmful algal blooms pose serious risks to drinking water quality and public health. We help utilities and lake managers identify, monitor, and respond to cyanobacterial blooms and the toxins they produce.

  • Cyanobacteria identification and enumeration
  • Cyanotoxin analysis (microcystins, cylindrospermopsin, anatoxin)
  • Bloom early-warning monitoring programs
  • Treatment and management recommendations

Taste & Odor Investigation

Taste and odor complaints are among the most common customer concerns for drinking water utilities. We have extensive experience tracing the source of these problems and recommending effective treatment strategies.

  • Source identification (geosmin, MIB, and other compounds)
  • Seasonal trend analysis
  • Treatment optimization recommendations
  • Customer communication support

TOC & Nutrient Management

Total organic carbon and nutrient loading are critical factors in drinking water treatment and source water quality. We help utilities understand and manage these parameters to reduce disinfection byproduct formation and control algal growth.

  • TOC source tracking and trend analysis
  • Nutrient loading assessments
  • Disinfection byproduct precursor management
  • Watershed nutrient input mapping

  • Nutrient and sediment analysis
  • Long-term management planning

Onsite Training & Quality Control

Proper sample collection and field testing are the foundation of any reliable monitoring program. We provide hands-on training and quality control support to help utility staff establish and maintain best practices.
