CCRfWriter
    The CCRiWriter is a new internet-based tool that will help water systems create their annual
    Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) by answering required questions and filling in blanks.
                        The CCR/Writer is a web-based program that allows water system
                        operators or designated personnel to enter data and generate a CCR.
How does it work?
 After logging in, you will see a series of questions about your system's
 source water and detected contaminants. After you finish answering
 the questions, you may print or download the completed report.
Where can I get one?
 CCR/Writer is a free service for water systems available at:
 www.ccriwriter.com
How quick is it?
 CCR/Writer takes a short time to fill out if you have your contaminant
 monitoring results handy. Required information, such as definitions,
 are already included to save you time.
Is my information
secure?
 Yes. You will designate a user name and password which ensures you
 and only personnel you authorize are able to access or change a
 system's information.
What about new rules
that are finalized?
 CCR/Writer will add all new Federal requirements needed to prepare
 CCR reports, as needed, so you do not have to worry about new
 changes.
What if I need to make
changes to the report?
 The website allows you to edit information you entered or download
 the report to make changes as necessary (i.e., if your State has
 additional requirements).
What will I need to
create my CCR?
 Because the CCR/Writer is internet driven, you will need access to the
 internet and the monitoring results you report in your annual CCR.
What if I operate more
than one water system?
 You may use the CCR/Writer to create separate CCRs for as many
 systems as you need; there is no limit.
Can I use it year after
year?
 Yes! You can save reports under different names. Each report is
 stored and accessible by the user name and password you designate.
