A new state-of-the-art water lab will be dedicated July 12 on Des Moines Area Community College’s Ankeny campus. The Miller family, owners and operators of Electric Pump of Des Moines, donated $285,000 to build the lab. DMACC will host a ribbon cutting at 11:30 a.m. on Friday in Building 9, Room 18. The Water Environmental Technology (WET) lab, which is open and hosting students enrolled in the college’s water and wastewater treatment programs, allows students to evaluate and test water sources and characteristics, examine the lab procedures of water treatment facilities and learn about lab certification requirements, among other training elements.
