CWNS 2008
The CWNS 2008 data collection period is February 5, 2008 - February 27, 2009. One of the primary goals of CWNS 2008 is to make it easier for states and local communities to submit their information by:- Moving the data entry system to the Internet to enable them to submit data electronically to their state CWNS coordinator
- Integrating data with other EPA programs
- Providing enhanced cost curves for on-site and decentralized treatment systems and new cost curves for new pipe and pipe replacement needs
- Improving needs documentation rules and review methods
