The Byrdstown Bac-T Revolution

Byrdstown Water Department is First to Automate Bacteriological Testing in TN
You can call them pioneers or call them visionaries. But whatever you call them, Byrdstown Water is revolutionizing water quality testing in Tennessee. In November of 2019, the Byrdstown Water Department became the first water system in the State of Tennessee to implement the TECTA automated bacteriological testing (Bac-T) device. TECTA is the only automated system approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) for testing drinking water. It is a complete, self-contained automated microbiology testing system capable of providing laboratory-grade results on-site with unprecedented time-to-result performance.
