UCMR 4 training webinars for the Safe Drinking Water Accession and Review System (SDWARS) – November 2017
EPA hosted two webinars in November 2017 to provide step-by-step instructions on how to use SDWARS 4 for public water systems (PWS) and laboratories. Along with a general introduction to the UCMR program, EPA discussed how PWS’s can add contacts and nominate users, edit schedules, add and edit inventory, input additional data elements, and review analytical results. EPA also discussed how laboratories can register their client list, review inventory and schedule of clients, upload files, enter and review data, and nominate users.
