2. Public Water System (PWS) Account Information
2.1 How to Get Started with PWS Account
1. Next you will see your notification letter. Please read it carefully, and acknowledge notification by
clicking the "Accept" button at the bottom of the page. After accepting, you can again access your
letter through the "Notification Letter" on the navigation panel. From there you can print it.
2. Your notification letter will let you know if your water system is required to monitor for all
Assessment Monitoring (or List 1) contaminants, or a portion of them based on your size category,
water type and monitoring requirements.
NOTIFICATION LETTER
January 3, 2017
RE: Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring for Surface Water (SW) and Ground Water Under the Direct Influence of Surface Water (GWUDI) Systems Serving
over 10,000 Persons
Dear Public Water System:
The purpose of this letter is to notify your public water system (PWS) of its monitoring requirements under the revision to the Unregulated Contaminant
Monitoring Rule (UCMR4). The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published the final rule detailing the upcoming monitoring of unregulated
contaminants at PWSs on December 20, 2016, establishing a new list of contaminants to be monitored and the conditions for that monitoring. This rule
benefits public health by providing EPA and other interested parties with scientifically valid data on the national occurrence of selected contaminants in
drinking water. This dataset is one of the primary sources of information on occurrence, levels of exposure and population exposure EPA uses to develop
regulatory decisions for contaminants in the public drinking water supply.
Under the UCMR4, all community water systems and non-transient, non-community water systems serving more than 10,000 persons must participate in
Assessment Monitoring (AM). Our records indicate that your surface water system must monitor for all List 1 contaminants: metals, pesticides, semi-
volatile organic chemicals (SOCs), alcohols (AM 1), haioacetic acids (HAAs) (AM 2), and cyanotoxins (AM 3).
What must your PWS complete in SDWARS before December 31, 2017?
Similar to reporting under UCMR3, PWSs will use the Central Data Exchange (CDX) (https://cdx.epa.fiov/) to access the updated version of the Safe Drinking
Water Accession and Review System (SDWARS4). PWSs are required to:
• enter your official and technical contact information;
• review and, if necessary, update your sample location data by adding missing locations (e.g.. Stage 1 and Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection
Byproduct Rules sampling locations for the HAAs), indicating ineligible locations or editing basic information about the locations; and
review and, if you wish, revise your monitoring schedule assigned by the EPA.
What must your PWS do during UCMR4 monitoring?
Your PWS must ensure that samples are properly collected, packaged and shipped to a UCMR4 EPA approved laboratory. Your PWS is also responsible for
providing the data elements required for each sampling location (e.g., disinfection type, treatment type etc.) in SDWARS. Once data are posted to SDWARS by
your laboratory, your PWS will have 60 days to review and act upon these results. If you choose not to review these results in this time frame, they will be
considered final. Additionally, community water systems are required to address their UCMR monitoring results in their annual Consumer Confidence Report
(CCR) whenever unregulated contaminants are detected (https://www.epa.gov/ccr).
Where can I find more information about UCMR4?
EPA recommends that you review the complete rule and supporting reference materials addressing UCMR4 at https://www.epa.gov/dwucmr/fourth-
unregulated-contaminant-monitoring-rule.
• The "Revisions to the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR4) for Public Water Systems and Announcement of Public Meeting"
[EPA-HQ-OW-2015-0218; FRL-9956-71-OW];
UCMR4 implementation fact sheets: Metals, Pesticides, SOCs, and Alcohols (AM 1), Haioacetic Acids (HAAs) (AM 2), Cyanotoxins (AM 3) and
General Information;
EPA approved laboratories for UCMR4 (the list will be updated as additional laboratories are approved);
• Outreach materials and announcements for stakeholder meetings and trainings.
Analytical results from UCMR are publically available in the National Contaminant Occurrence Database (NCOD); for a summary of the NCOD results, tips for
querying NCOD, and health effects information please refer to the UCMR Data Summary document.
This notification letter is being sent to you as the official representative of this PWS. If someone else at your PWS needs this information, such as the plant
operator, please provide them with a copy of this letter. Your cooperation in meeting these requirements is appreciated.
For questions regarding SDWARS or CDX, please contact the CDX Help Desk at 1-888-890-1995. For implementation or general questions, please contact the
UCMR Message Center at 1-800-949-1581 or UCMR4@glec.com. Thank you for your cooperation.

2.2 How to Add Contacts to PWS Account
1. As indicated by the red box on the "PWS Contacts" page, you must add two PWS contacts (official
and technical) before you can navigate to another section (e.g., Inventory).
a. An "official" contact refers to the person at our PWS who is able to function as the official
spokesperson for the UCMR activities (i.e., administrative representative).
b. A "technical" contact refers to the person at your PWS who is responsible for technical aspects
of your UCMR activities, such as sampling and reporting (i.e., alternate representative).
c. You can specify additional contacts as "other."
d. You may edit or delete these contacts at any time as personnel change, but you must have an
official and technical contact in SDWARS at all times to proceed further.
2. To begin adding contacts, click "Add Contact."
