UGRA Adopts Environmental Laboratory Business Plan; Plans Purchase of Laboratory Information Management System

Kerrville, TX, December 15, 2004UGRA today adopted a Business Plan to guide management of its state-of-the-art environmental laboratory.  Greg Etter, UGRA General Manager, said:  “The Business Plan is the roadmap to running the laboratory as a self-sustaining entity.  The lab is a community asset, and the application of good business practices will ensure its future.”  The Business Plan calls for the purchase of a Laboratory Information Management System.  This relatively inexpensive software will modernize the way the lab tracks samples and information and will result in a substantial savings of man hours.  Etter said: “The Laboratory Information Management System will pay for itself by creating efficiencies and allowing the lab to grow.”

The UGRA Environmental Laboratory is a full service state-of-the-art laboratory serving Kerr County and surrounding areas.  The Laboratory’s analytical services include bacteriological, chemical and biological testing of water, wastewater, soils and sludge.  It is one of the largest microbiological labs in the state and certified by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
