Fleming College's Centre for Advancement of Water and Wastewater Technology (CAWT) is a world-classwater research centre founded in 2002 that became an NSERC Technology Access Centre (TAC) in 2014. In2017 the CAWT TACs analytical laboratory was ISO/IEC 17025 certified by the Canadian Association forLaboratory Accreditation. The CAWT TAC is dedicated to providing small- to medium-sized water sectorcompanies with applied research and innovation support, allowing the companies to become morecompetitive, expand their businesses, and achieve economic success.The water sector in North America is highly regulated, forcing many companies to secure some sort ofvalidation or verification of their technologies and services. Over the next five years the CAWT TAC will beexpanding its third-party performance measurement services to include standards and certifications that aresought after by the water and wastewater industry.In addition to offering more performance measurement services, the CAWT TAC will be increasing itslaboratory analysis services to include several new parameters (both accredited and non-accredited) andimproved methods. Many of the intended tests are required for working with water reclamation and resourcerecovery, an area of increasing concern and interest for industry.
