Who We Are

COMPANY HISTORY

Brelje and Race Laboratories, Inc., established in 1967 by Walter Brelje and William Race, is the oldest water testing laboratory in Northern California. The lab was originally established to provide biological and chemical analysis for drinking water supply and distribution systems, sewage treatment systems, and industrial waste monitoring. The testing capabilities have grown through the years as the regulatory requirements for water quality monitoring have expanded and become stricter.

The lab is still owned by William Race and is operated as a family business.

Services to communities, agencies, and public include:
