Why We Test

Safeguarding Faversham's Waters

Favwat is dedicated to providing transparent, local water quality data for Faversham Creek and its tributaries. Our citizen scientists empower residents, rowers, fishermen and all who use the creek with essential information for a healthier ecosystem.

We believe clear data is the first step toward clean water. Our independent testing helps protect public health and ensures the ecological vitality of our much loved waterways for future generations.
